"In Summer" is a song from Disney's 2013 animated feature film '' Frozen'', with music and lyrics composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Synopsis The song is performed by Olaf (Josh Gad), and is a comedic and ironic ballad in which Olaf expresses how he wants to experience the season of summer. He is seen in several positions, including in shades, relaxing in a hot tub, playing on a beach, dancing around sand people, and relaxing on a picnic, unaware that as a snowman he will melt, and therefore his dream is in vain. The song is considered darkly comical large in part because every single thing that Olaf does is something that will only make him melt faster. Background According to Josh Gad, since Robert Lopez had already co-written ''The Book of Mormon'' (in which Gad was the original Elder Cunningham), Lopez already knew what type of voice he had, and so that influenced the type of song that was written for him.
