"Last Summer" is the fourth single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band Lostprophets. The previous singles, "Burn Burn", "Last Train Home" and "Wake Up (Make a Move)" had all been highly successful on both sides of the Atlantic so this single was under similar pressure; it reached number 13 in the UK Singles Chart. The song describes the band members enjoying past memories of visiting towns in South Wales such as the seaside town of Porthcawl.

The song's B-side, "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", is a cover of a song by English popstar, and former member of S Club 7, Rachel Stevens.
