Summer is the season of long days, bright smiles, and carefree moments shared with the people we love most.
It’s the perfect time for children to play outdoors, for families to come together, and for everyone to create memories that will last a lifetime. To capture this joyful atmosphere, Ocarina has chosen Count on Me by Bruno Mars as the ideal soundtrack for every summer day filled with laughter, discovery, and togetherness.
From afternoons at the park to evenings under the stars, summer adventures become an opportunity for children and parents alike to show their love, care, and support for each other. Count on Me is a gentle and heartfelt reminder to always be there for one another—through the happy times and the challenging ones.
Written by Bruno Mars together with Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, the song was released in 2010 on his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans.
Though not one of his biggest chart hits, Count on Me has won the hearts of families around the world, becoming a favourite for moments of sharing, play, and celebration. Its uplifting and easy-to-understand message makes it especially popular with children and in educational or community settings.
The lyrics, simple and reassuring, beautifully express the comfort of knowing someone will always be there:
“You can count on me like one, two, three / I’ll be there”
With its sweet melody and relaxed rhythm, Count on Me suits every kind of summer family moment: picnics in the garden, walks along the beach, or cosy chats around a campfire. It’s a song that unites generations, brings joy to little ones and grown-ups alike, and fills the air with warmth and serenity.
