"Summer Paradise" is a song by Canadian rock band Simple Plan, featuring Somali-Canadian rapper K'Naan or Jamaican reggae artist Sean Paul. It was released on December 13, 2011 in Australia as the third official single from their fourth studio album, Get Your Heart On! (2011). It was written by Emanuel Kiriakou, Keinan Warsame and the band and produced by Brian Howes. The song is a reggae and ska punk-based track and it was inspired by the band vocalist's hobby of surfing. It was released in Australia with an accompanying music video with shots of the "Get Your Heart On Tour!" and scenes of the band in Australia and on the beach. The track was released in the United Kingdom as the lead single.

It was released around the world on February 28, 2012 with guest vocals from Sean Paul, rather than K'Naan. A music video featuring Paul was also released. It peaked at number 8 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart, becoming their highest charting single since "Crazy". The song became their best charting single in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and United Kingdom.

The song was inspired by Pierre Bouvier's hobby of surfing, which is an important part of his life. He told Buzznet: "I've spent a lot of time out there when the surf is not that great and you're waiting for a wave, just sitting on the water seeing dolphins and seals go by, taking in a beautiful sunset. I think about music a lot and have probably thought about some lyrics out there. Also this song called "Summer Paradise" on the album has got that beautiful vibe that I can probably attribute to going on surf trips." The band announced the song as a single, while posting a music video for it, on December 12, 2011. A day later, December 13, 2011, the song was released on the Australian iTunes. The band said that the song will be released around the world later in 2012.
