Jason Derülo Released "Don't Wanna Go Home"

Jason Derülo is back to make (future) history again. The 21-year-old and his fellow clubgoers are at once exhausted from a party the night before and pumped to party it up even more in the Rich Lee-directed video for "Don't Wanna Go Home," which premiered on MTV Wednesday. Following in his tradition of mashing up samples with his own pop and R&B sound, the video encompasses all that the song wants to ignite.
"Don't Wanna Go Home," is the lead single from his upcoming sophomore album "Future History," that is slated to drop in September. The Fliptones-produced electro-pop track was sonically inspired by Robin S.' retro hit "Show Me Love," and features an interpolation of "Day-O(The Banana Boat Song)." Derülo explained the song's message to MTV News: "I wanted to write a song that people could escape their problems, their pain, their turmoil, and by doing a feel-good song, I'm doing just that. You don't have to write a song about saving the world to do just that. We created this new age party-smasher."
Despite the track's lack of originality, the beat is irresistible, and its lyrics about staying out all night are likely to resonate with summer parties. "Don't Wanna Go Home" is a song that succeeds in spite of its shortcomings. The video for the new track is glossy and fun, a complete reflection of the tune's party-anthem vibe. "This one was very vivid for me. I wrote a treatment and Rich Lee took my treatment and expanded upon it. I'm through the roof. You'll see a lot: more dancing, a lot more sex appeal," Derülo said about the track."
Set in a smoking warehouse bursting with fresh beats and energy, and featuring former Pussycat Doll's Melody Thornton, the moody video begins as the after math of a rave every body is sound asleep and captures Derülo and various dancers waking up from a night of clubbing to keep the night going at a dance party escaping the pressures of the day and home. The video features "these creatures who can't get enough of this amazing party," Derülo explained to MTV News recently. "Basically, it's not about going to the club, it's about never leaving the club. I'm very hands-on with everything that I do, and I wrote 'Don't Wanna Go Home,' and I wanted to write a video right after I finished doing the song 'cause I actually saw it [in my mind], what this video is about, but it's not a club - it's a warehouse and we live here."
