Chart performance[]

"Sunshine and Summertime" was one of five singles released from Hill's highly successful return-to-roots 2005 country album, Fireflies. "Sunshine and Summertime" debuted outside the Country Top 40 in mid-2006, following the successof her previous Top 10 Country hit, "The Lucky One". The song peaked inside the Country Top 10 in Summer 2006, at No. 7. The song also charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 70, but failed to chart the Pop 100 unlike her first two singles released from the album, including her No. 1, "Mississippi Girl".

"Sunshine and Summertime" was Hill's last solo Top 10 hit to date, as well as her last major hit from the album.
