If you thought the classic rock hit “Summer of '69” was just a throwback to the summer of 1969, think again. Singer Bryan Adams, who released the record in 1984, said in a new interview that the song actually has a much more suggestive message.
“I wanted to call the song 'Best Days of My Life' but the mention of '69' seemed a bit more provocative,” he told the Sunday Times. “Isn’t this breakfast conversation a little sexy?”
The Canadian musician has previously spoken about how his song referenced sexual position, revealing on television in 2008: “A lot of people think it's about the year… It's more about making love in the summer. The '69' is used as a sexual symbol.” Reference.”

Adams' co-writer of the song, Jim Vallance, has suggested a different narrative. According to Vallance, the song was actually a representation of the men's summers as teenagers. “We all had our version of our favorite summer from our teenage years and incorporated those memories and thoughts into the lyrics,” he said in the web series “Music Night At The Majestic.”

These days, Adams, 64, says his best times are the ones he's creating now. “The best days are now, always now,” he told the Sunday Times. “When I wrote this song, I put a lot of effort into imagining or fantasizing what life would have in store for me, but here I am and you know, it's great.”

Last July, Adams' summer of 2023 got a little crazy. As he performed “Summer of '69” at his concert in Salt Lake City, an unruly concertgoer jumped on stage and took the concert by storm. Adams quickly walked away from the microphone.

“Bought it for five cents,” a man sang authoritatively into the microphone, much to Adams' confusion. The crasher was allowed to sing a few more lyrics before security in red shirts stormed onto the stage and grabbed him on both sides. The man was escorted off stage, and Adams was able to utter the iconic phrase “War the Summer of '69” without hesitation.
