"E.G. Summer Rider" (stylized as "E.G. summer RIDER"; stands for "E-girls Summer Rider") is a song recorded and performed by Japanese collective unit E-girls, taken as a single from their fourth studio record E.G. Crazy (2017). The track was released on July 20, 2016, through Rhythm Zone and Avex Music Creative Inc. in three physical formats—two CD's and a DVD bundle—and for digital consumption. The song was written by Kotake Masato, composed by Henrik Nordenback, Christian Fast and Lisa Desmond, and produced by Nordenback with Exile's Hiro.
"E.G. Summer Rider" serves as the opening entry for their E.G. Pop concept, which utilizes a fun and poppier. Musically, it is a J-pop number that incorporates elements of dance and dubstep, and delves into themes of having fun and the summer season. Additionally, the physical and digital packaging included the B-sides: "Kikai Shikake no Bye Bye!" and "Party In The Sun", and a Clarabell remix of the band's promotional recording "Strawberry Sadistic". "E.G. Summer Rider" is the group's first single to feature all remaining vocalists since "E.G. Anthem: We Are Venus" (2014).
Upon its release, "E.G. Summer Rider" received positive reviews from music critics, who commended the tracks sound and production, with additional compliments aimed towards their E.G. Pop concept. Commercially, it experienced success in Japan, peaking at number two on the Oricon Singles Chart and on the Japan Hot 100, the latter published by Billboard. In order to promote the single, E-girls performed in the accompanying music video, which was directed by Shigeaki Kubo, and had the band going on a road trip. Additionally, the girls sung and performed the track on several concert and shows.
