In an interview with website Taste of Country, Currington stated: "Making this album was such a blast for me. I put a lot of love into this project and couldn’t be more excited for fans to hear the new music".[2] He also added that "Summer Forever for [him] represents a positive, happy, good time lifestyle and that’s what [he] hope[s] the fans feel when they hear the record".[3] "Don't It" was released on October 27, 2014 as the album's lead off single. It peaked at number one on the Country Airplay chart dated June 6, 2015. The album's second single, "Drinkin' Town with a Football Problem", was released to radio on June 8, 2015. Despite a relatively high debut at number 41, the song fell to number 54 in its second week and struggled to climb the charts, ultimately peaking at number 30 in November 2015 and becoming Currington's lowest-charting single at the time, alongside "Tangled Up" from 2007. "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" was sent to country radio on February 8, 2016 as the album's third single. It reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in October 2016 and held the number one position for two consecutive weeks. "Do I Make You Wanna" is the album's fourth single, being served to radio in November 2016. It reached number one on the Country Airplay chart in August 2017, holding that position for three consecutive weeks. "Wake Me Up" served as the album's fifth and final single, releasing to country radio in September 2017. The song was considered "dead on arrival" at radio, debuting on Country Airplay at #57 and peaking at #55 after only charting for 7 weeks,[4] becoming Currington's lowest charting single of his career.
