Critical reception[]

"Sippin' On Sunshine" received mixed reviews from critics.

Craig Manning of Absolute Punk gave the song a mixed review, stating that both "Sippin' On Sunshine" and "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" were "enjoyable but generic Katy Perry pop.[2] In his review of the album, Jason Lipshutz of Billboard, said that "Sippin' On Sunshine" could potentially do very well on Adult Contemporary radio and compared its lyrics to that of the album's lead single, "Here's to Never Growing Up". He also noted that it was the first track on the album with a very prominent bass.[3] Sam Lansky of Idolator gave a positive review of the track, calling the track "jubilant" and going as far as to say that it "out-roars [Katy Perry's] 'Roar'".[4] StarPulse also compared the track to the work of Katy Perry.[5]

Lyrics[]

Boy, you get me so high
Buzzin' like a beehive
Just a little kiss
But when it hits my lips
I'm sippin' on sunshine
Boy, you're looking so fly
Hotter than July
I just wanna stay, forever and a day
Sippin' on sunshine

Down at the beach, you're holding my hand
Got an umbrella stuck in the sand
Watching the waves crash into the shore
Baby, I want some more

Hey, what a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
Oh, don't got nowhere to go
So we'll go with the flow
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine

Boy, you blow my mind
You got me up on cloud nine
Just a little taste, I wouldn't wanna waste
A sip of that sunshine
We can kick it all night
Underneath the moonlight
But when the party ends, we'll do it all again
Sippin' on sunshine

Down at the beach, you're holding my hand
Got an umbrella stuck in the sand
Watching the waves crash into the shore
Baby, I want some more

Hey, what a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
Oh, don't got nowhere to go
So we'll go with the flow
Yeah, we're living the life
Sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine
Sippin' on sunshine

Sippin' on sunshine, sippin' on sunshine
(Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine)
(Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine)

Hey, what a beautiful day
All I need is a taste
Nothin' but a good time
Sippin' on sunshine
Oh, don't got nowhere to go (no, I don't)
So we'll go with the flow (hell yeah)
Yeah, we're living the life (the life)
Sippin' on sunshine

All day, all night
(Sippin on sunshine)
Yeah, a good time
Everybody's just sippin' on sunshine
Woah, woah, woah
(Sippin' on sunshine)
Sippin' on sunshine
