"Summer Means New Love" is an instrumental composed by Brian Wilson for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was originally released on June 28, 1965 on their album Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!). A year later, it was released as the B-side to Brian Wilson's first single, "Caroline, No", which subsequently appeared on Pet Sounds.^[1]

The instrumental has been cited as one forerunner to the type of arrangements Brian Wilson would later experiment with on Pet Sounds the following year.^[2] It has since been covered by several artists with new, original lyrics – including by Wilson himself.

"Summer Means New Love" was recorded over three dates, all produced, arranged and conducted by Brian Wilson. The primary instrumental track was recorded on May 12, at Capitol Records Studio with the piano and guitar were overdubbed at sessions on May 15 and June 1, respectively at CBS Columbia Square.^[3]
