Big Time Rush hit the beach in "Windows Down"

US pop TV band Big Time Rush, a Californian boy band formed as the winners of a Nickelodeon produced television series of the same name, who have just released their new single and video for their brand new one-off summer single, "Windows Down," which is the first single of Big Time Rush's, still unnamed, third album. The single is set for release today, along with a new third episode, "Big Time Returns," the hit series centers on four hockey players from Minnesota who are selected to form a boy band in Los Angeles.
Described as a summertime anthem, "Windows Down" shamelessly rips off Blur's famous tune "Song 2" - drumbeat, guitar riff, 'woo-hoos' and all - while giving it a slick dose of processed pop and lyrics about partying hard. The track samples one of Brit-pop's most iconic anthems, that would suggest that Blur either licensed the use of their track, or that they're being paid royalties for its use. In fact, that "Windows Down" is actually a re-write of a tune sold to the pop group by none other than trash-mistress Ke$ha.
"Windows Down is a song that completely embodies fun and we wanted to shoot a video that captured the four of us doing just that," BTR band member Logan Henderson told Us Weekly. "We shot the video in Maui and did everything from cliff diving to paddle boarding to a house party with the locals. Our fans will get a chance to see a more mature and playful side of BTR." The track is s so fresh, summery, party-ready, and so damn catchy. It will definitely make you want to get up and dance.
The music video was filmed in tropical Maui, Henderson and his bandmates have gone all out, and take their fans to enjoy warm weather and have a fun summer day on the beach in Hawaii. The clip feature the rising US boyband cruising around in an open jeep, greeting fans, get shirtless, hit the beach, and executing some serious cliff diving moves at the beach, among other 'having fun' scenes, all while showing off their ripped physiques of course!
