Family Of The Year is considered to have a "feel good summer" sound. Statements around the web have been made such as "Immediately I was overtaken by the Beatles sounding, toe-tapping, move in my seat beat..." and "Although the band only has six members, it still seemed like there were a lot more bodies contributing to the musical goodness that is Family of the Year. Perhaps it’s just their soft harmonies, comforting guitar chords and melodies that just pull us into their world that make us think that. Whatever it is, we just know we’re fans."
Make You Mine
Family of the Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
And all the fun to shine on everyone
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
It gets dark, you watch them fall
Then it gets light, then it gets louder
Not here forever, but for now, let's do whatever
And then never even find something that's close to being better
Then you fall into its arms, you got bare feet out in the barn
And you know that whatever, there will never be no harm
All the boys and all the pretty girls
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
And all the fun to shine on everyone
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
So much sand stuck inside my shoe
We watch a thunderstorm, kill an afternoon
We feel no pain, go swimming in the rain
Two hearts that were apart are now the same
So won't you tell me if you wanna be my baby?
Yes, for sure, and not a maybe
We won't try, come along, no need to cry
Then the sun comes back around, I'm back in time, you just got found just now
It's just that good, cause we could and we were always down
All the boys and all the pretty girls
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
And all the fun to shine on everyone
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
If I can't have you, you don't wanna know what I'm gonna do
If I can't have you, you don't wanna know what I'm gonna do
I'll never find another one
So if I can't have you, think of what you'll be putting me through
All the boys and all the pretty girls
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
And all the fun to shine on everyone
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
So won't you tell me if you wanna be my baby?
Yes, for sure, and not a maybe
We won't try, come along, no need to cry
Then the sun comes back around, I'm back in time, you just got found just now
It's just that good, cause we could and we were always down
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine
In the lyrics of Family of the Year's "Make You Mine," the singer is expressing their desire and intention to make the most out of their summer, specifically in terms of forming romantic connections. They address both "the boys and all the pretty girls," signaling their attraction and openness to all potential love interests. The line "Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine" emphasizes their determination to build meaningful relationships during this season of warmth and excitement.
The verse about darkness turning to light and getting louder represents the progression of a night out or a party. As the darkness fades, the atmosphere becomes more vibrant and energetic. The mention of watching things bloom and blossom reflects the potential for personal growth and transformation during the summer. The lines "Not here forever, but for now, let's do whatever / And then never even find something that's close to being better" suggest a sense of living in the present moment, embracing the temporary nature of summer flings, and not worrying about finding something more substantial.
The imagery of bare feet in the barn evokes a carefree and relaxed atmosphere. It symbolizes a moment of vulnerability and intimacy. Additionally, the lyrics convey a sense of security and comfort in this particular relationship, with the reassurance that there will be no harm involved.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe a couple experiencing the joys of summer together. The sand stuck inside the singer's shoe represents the enduring memories they create during their time together. Watching a thunderstorm and swimming in the rain symbolize the carefree and exhilarating moments shared with a loved one. The phrase "Two hearts that were apart are now the same" suggests the unity and deepening connection between the couple, as they have grown closer.
The repeated question of whether the other person wants to be the singer's baby indicates a desire for commitment and assurance in the relationship. The response "Yes, for sure, and not a maybe" confirms the other person's willingness to be together. The lyrics emphasize the absence of any need for tears or worry, emphasizing the simplicity and joy that comes with being in love. The mention of the sun coming back around and being "back in time" implies that the relationship brings a sense of fulfillment and completeness.
The repeated chorus again expresses the singer's determination to make others theirs during summertime. It reiterates the idea of fun and happiness being shared with everyone, emphasizing a sense of inclusion and unity.
The final lines reflect a desperation and fear of losing the person the singer loves. They mention that they would never find another one, implying a fear of being alone or not being able to recreate the connection they have. This intensifies the plea for reciprocation and highlights the potential consequences if the other person does not feel the same way.
Overall, "Make You Mine" captures the essence of summer romance and the desire for deep connections and memorable experiences during this season of warmth and adventure.

Fucking walgreens and this is by far the fucking weirdest song i've ever heard. Sounds like a psycho wrote the lyrics tbh.
"All the "boys" and all the pretty girls
Summertime, I'm gonna make you mine"
"If I can't have you, you don't wanna know what I'm gonna do
If I can't have you, you don't wanna know what I'm gonna do"
"So won't you tell me if you wanna be my baby?
Yes, for sure, and not a maybe
We won't try, come along, no need to cry
Then the sun comes back around, I'm back in time, you just got found just now
It's just that good, cause we could and we were always down" like jesus christ, calm down dude. Too possessive. Take a pill, take a shower, read a book it's gonna be okay.

Even if I can’t enjoy my summer how I would’ve liked, at least this song came on when I was getting pringles and aloe water at Giant. Made me nostalgic for my 2017 summer
