24/Seven is the third studio album by American boy band Big Time Rush, released on June 7, 2013, by Columbia Records. The album experiments with a dance-rock and R&B sound. [1] The band worked with producers Matt Squire and Damon Sharpe, as they had done in the past, in an effort to mature their sound yet not stray away from their prior qualities. The four members co-wrote 13 songs (including five deluxe edition bonus tracks) with several hired songwriters. It is the last album to be released by the band before going on a long term hiatus in 2014, until they reunited in 2021.
Beginning on April 26, 2013, Big Time Rush began releasing photos for various songs on the album via Instagram and Google Plus. The band revealed the final track listing for the album on April 29, 2013 via Entertainment Weekly . [2] [3]
Musically, 24/Seven marks a shift on the band's signature sound showcasing a more mature, organic and "down-to-earth pop" direction than their previous two albums, BTR and Elevate . [4] In contrast with their past releases, the songs were written primarily by the band, [5] with the exception of the songs "Like Nobody's Around" and "Song for You", each song on the album was either written or co-written by a member of the band. The album features duo Karmin, which appears on the track "Song for You", and rapper Jake Miller on deluxe edition bonus track "Lost in Love". The first version of the song "Love Me Again" was written by Big Time Rush, but Nickelodeon altered the song to be more "kid-friendly".
"Like Nobody's Around" was released with the pre-order of the album on March 23, 2013. [6] The video references other successful boy bands in past decades as The Ink Spots (1940s/1950s), The Temptations (1960s), The Jackson 5 (1970s), New Kids on the Block (1980s), Backstreet Boys (1990s) and NSYNC (2000s). The music video premiered on Nickelodeon during the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards.
