"Rocketeer" is a mid tempo piano ballad and pop-rap song. [18] [19] [20] It begins at a slow tempo, evolving into a mid tempo, while showing "an upbeat outlook." [6] [21] According to the sheet music, the song is composed in the key of A minor, with a tempo of 96 beats per minute. The artists' vocal range spans from D5 to D6. [22] "Rocketeer" features a "light piano line" on top of a "Euro-synthed" instrumental, and the keyboard chords of the track have been interpreted as having a resemblance to the ones in Justin Bieber's "Somebody to Love" (2010). [2] [23] [24] This led to speculation that "Rocketeer" copied from the song; however, both tracks were produced by the Stereotypes, with the latter being the first. [25] The track has a "mellow, romantic beat", "contemplative nature" and an enthusiastic "direction". [6] [11] [18] The verses have been described as "easy-flowing rhymes", with Far East Movement rapping about "going on an intergalactic journey through space". [2] [23] Tedder's falseto vocals on the "lovely" and "hummable" chorus were noted by writers, being described as "sweet" and "oh-so-charming". The falsetto allowed him to come up with "dreamy imagery", in the lyrics "Take my hand, close your eyes/With you right here, I'm a rocketeer." [19] [21] [24] AllMusic's David Jeffries affirmed Tedder's vocals resembled the ones by Mike Posner. [13] Far East Movement's verses contain references to "Like A G6" by "rhyming ' Super Mario ' with 'Cardio' and 'Geronimo '". [19] "Lyrically, the theme of "Rocketeer" is intended to "represent different things for different people", so it could be a love or motivation song. [6]

Reception

"Rocketeer" has received generally positive reviews from music critics. Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song four stars out of five, with him noticing the similarities between the track and the chorus by Bruno Mars on B.o.B's "Nothin' on You". [19] Polly Weeks from The Shuttle dubbed the collaborations as "the highlights of the record", including "Rocketeer". [26] AllMusic's Jeffries shared Weeks's opinion. [13] Idolator's Robbie Daw thought "Far East Movement's shift toward live(-sounding) instrumentation" was enjoyable. Daw continued, "It's kind of like the chill, bleary-eyed comedown the day after a big bash, when you just want to lay around and listen to some mellow tunes." [11] The staff of Complex affirmed that the track "is sure to win over the hearts of many teenage girls". [27] Anthony Osei, writing for the same website, called it "catchy". [20] Marvin Vasquez of Campus Circle affirmed "the beauty of this tune, because it can bring unique meaning to each listener". [6]

Sharyar Rivzi from the Dallas Observer was disappointed with the track, giving it a "B". Rivzi pointed out the "tame" sound after the single "Like A G6", the use of only "four piano chords" and the "oh-so-charming voice" of Tedder on the chorus. Lyrically wise he found it to be "needy and hollow", and a "disappointing use of the spacey-love theme". Rivzi also criticized Bruno Mars's songwriting on "Rocketeer" due to its "syrupy charm". [24] Regarding Mars's demo, Daw said the song would still be a "big hit" with the latter's vocals. [3] Biance Gracie from Fuse said it "isn't as punchy, you can't deny that those soaring vocals carry a ton of emotion". Gracie considered it to be Mars's best collaboration as of 2016. [28] At the 2012 ASCAP Pop Music Awards, "Rocketeer" was one of the winners of Most Performed Songs. [29]

Music video

On August 26, 2010, it was reported the music video for "Rocketeer" was being shot in Downtown Los Angeles. [47] [27] Far East Movement wrote "the treatment" for the video, using a skate to show everyone the "Free Wired Downtown LA" that inspires them, "with different dreamers" they met which are part of the "free wired LA". [48] It was directed by Marc Klasfeld and premiered via YouTube on November 1, 2010. [49]

The music video begins with a young couple, which will have to go in their separated ways as the girl needs to move to Japan due to her job. During the video, the boyfriend searches trash cans and asks several people, including DJ Quik and Bobby Hundreds, for materials to build a "make-shift" jet pack to get to his girlfriend after she leaves. [23] [27] [50] In the end of the music video, he rides his skateboard and goes "off into the night, leaving a trail of sparks behind him". The video is intercalated with various shots of Tedder playing the piano as he sings the chorus, and Far East Movement, as well as "cameos from various influencers", such as Philip Wang and Wesley Chan from Wong Fu Productions, American music persona Martin Kierszenbaum and American artist David Choe. [27] [50] [51]

Daw said the music video is "every bit as sweet as the song itself". [50] Jillian Mapes from Billboard stated that the song has a "fitting video". [23] Complex commented that the scenes of Downtown L.A. and the "cameos from influencers" are worth seeing. [27] Sharyar Rvzi of the Dallas Observer said that Tedder's hat on the video made him look like a "pretentious flatterer". [24] Some brand ads were retroactive digitally inserted in the music video after an agreement between Universal Music Group, media-tech company Mirriad and French advertising firm Havas. The adds have a limited lifespan and can be removed or replaced. People may see different adds in the video, according to their localization. Instead of the "native in-video advertising", a company could buy "spots" inside the video. [52]

In 2011, Far East Movement went on to release a short film for "Rockteer" entitled "Rocketeer (LA Dreamer Short Film)", which features the Santa Monica Pier, Korean barbecue restaurants, Melrose Avenue, and downtown Los Angeles in a dedication to their hometown. [9] For Complex, Anthony Osei said "it came out great". [20] To shoot the video, the group enlisted the help of Daniel DPD Park to capture the footage from the town. They also used their old microphones and amplfiers to record the new version of the song in the backroom, thus Far East Movement sounded like when they started making music. The version of the song used for the video was dubbed "stripped-down and less glossy". The video depicts their "slow and steady grind", including Far East Movement's "stylistic evolution, pop savvy and a decade of performing every venue in Los Angeles." It features a cameo by American rapper Snoop Dogg. [9]
