"It's Summertime" was the debut song of Ricky D. and Janina in the Dancemania BASS series. Ricky D. would appear again along with Janina on Dancemania BASS 6 with "Maid Of Orleans '99" Janina would also appear again on that CD with "Feel My Passion". Ricky D. would make a final appearance on Dancemania BASS 8 with "Swing Around". Although no songs of theirs made "reappearances". "It's Summertime" was confirmed to be a scrapped Dance Dance Revolution SOLO 2000 song, as a brief sample of the song was found to be hidden in the game's files. It's also worth noting that "It's Summertime" is based on "Theme From A Summer Place" by Percy Faith, as the main instrumental is utilized throughout the song.

Lyrics (Interpreted by me so not 100% accurate):

Put your hands up, everybody

Summertime, outside it's nice
I drop the top, and I go for a ride
I wanna drive right into the sun
I wanna drive right, right, right
Everybody, come on y'all

Verse 1:
For real, I thought I had some truth in my style
We had our problems in the past, true I left things wild
Let's take it back, back to '94 where it started
From the building of love, to the reaching roof party
It was nice, I can't talk bad 'bout the past
But the past is the past, and the past don't last
Only real, back to the stair where you would kick it
Whatever went down, you was always with it
Remember Coco, and Will? The way we used to chill?
The lights they were centered, with surely affection
But times change, and attitudes changed along with it
I helped you out and kept you safe, and don't you forget it

Refrain:
Oh I, wanna be with you
Wanna hold you tight every day, and night
Summertime

* Summertime, outside it's nice
I drop the top, and I go for a ride
I wanna drive right into the sun
I wanna drive right, right, right
Summertime, outside it's nice
I drop the top, and I go for a ride
I wanna drive right into the sun
I wanna drive right, right, right
Everybody, come on y'all

Verse 2:
It's summertime, and outside it's nice
I wanna drop the top, and take my girl for a ride
The weather's nice baby this is what I like
I'm in a good mood, wanna groove to the heights
There's a Barbecue y'all and I can't be late
Hit a U-turn down, we head down to the lake
But wait, I see some homies standin' on the corner
They wanna wave me down, so I stopped, and they wanna
Get down to it where the party's at, where the honies at
And the scene is phat
Everybody's havin' one hell of a time
It's a real nice beat, so I gotta bust a rhyme

Repeat Refrain

Repeat *
