Sorry for spoiling your fun, bro.

But seriously, think about it.

Weiss's song is about how lonely she is-- which you can definitely see past the Tsundere attitude, especially in Volume 1; but it's still there even now, as seen briefly when she's alone in the CCT elevator.

Blake's song is about how her people were taken advantage of, and how that mistreatment effectively turned them to the dark side. The song is clearly narrating from Blake's White Fang days, but the sentiments are still a huge part of Blake's identity; which we see in her conversation with Ozpin, and later in the midnight talk with her team.

Yang... has a lot of songs. It's almost like they're trying to get us attached to her or something. We have "I Burn", mostly about how she's gonna kick you butt. We have "Gold", about how she has taken up the motherly role in Summer's stead. And then we have "All Our Days", which has a similar theme, but it's more about how she's already fulfilled that need in Ruby, and all that's left to be done is to continue to be her support.

Now, I've heard the argument that the latter two songs could be about Summer, and in the case of "Gold" that's quite plausible (except for the fact that gold isn't really in Summer's color scheme). But I don't think this could be the case for "All Our Days". "Funny how our lives change / 'Cause you're my hero now" really doesn't sound like it could apply to Summer. Summer died before Ruby was old enough to play a ukelele. I don't think things could sufficiently change to make Ruby Summer's hero, not in the sense that's implied in the song. But it fits perfectly for Yang. Not only is Ruby the leader of Yang's team, but Yang implied in "Search And Destroy" that she considers Ruby to be a stronger person, with more drive and resolution than Yang believes she could ever have.

While all of these things could kinda work for Summer, they just work so much better in regards to Yang. There's no solid evidence for it; of course, there can't be solid evidence for a future plot event. But there's a lot of literary evidence; it just feel right. The story just seems to work better that way. The songs apply better that way.
