Elevate is the second studio album by American boy band Big Time Rush. It was released on November 21, 2011 by Columbia Records in association with Nickelodeon. The band worked with accomplished songwriters and producers for the album. These include those that assisted with the material from their debut album, such as Emanuel Kiriakou, Lindy Robbins, Nicholas RAS Furlong, Damon Sharpe, Eric Sanicola and Lucas Secon, along with other notable songwriters and producers, such as JR Rotem, Christopher Stewart, The-Dream, Jay Sean, and Ryan Tedder. The production process of the album took place between nine months to a year, most of which was during their touring process.
The album acts as the soundtrack to the Nickelodeon television series of the same name, which features songs that appeared in the series' second season and the upcoming television movie, Big Time Movie. Following the success of their first release, the band was inspired to be more involved in the writing process for this album, writing together or separately a total of eight songs. Elevate is mainly a pop and dance album, which incorporates elements of several musical genres such as electropop, urban pop, synthpop and rock with an Europop vibe in some tracks. The first single from Elevate, "Music Sounds Better with U", was released on November 1, 2011. The single was a Top 30 hit on the US Billboard Pop Songs chart.
I'll love ya
If you ain't got nobody to love
And girl I'll adore ya
When there's no one to adore
And I'll show you, aye
That there's no one to show
And I'll know you
If you want somebody to know
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Every time you come around
You put a lightning bolt on my face
Baby, every time you come around
Girl you take my breath away
And I just wanna breathe until
I take you in
Cause I want you to breathe until
You take me in
But the truth is
She has no idea, no idea
That I'm even here
That I'm even here
She has no idea, no idea
I'm standing here
I'm standing here
I'll kiss you, yeah
Whenever you wanna be kissed
Oh I'll miss ya
Two seconds after you leave
Screaming come back to me
Come back to me
Let me please you
Let me see you
Let me take that heart of yours
And I'll be
Whatever ya need me to be
The good guy, bad guy
Just tell me baby
Every time you come around
You put a lightning bolt on my face
Every time you come around
Girl you take my breath away
And I just wanna breathe until
I take you in
Cause I want you to
Breathe until you take me in
But the truth is
That she has no idea, no idea
That I'm even here
That I'm even here
She has no idea, no idea
I'm standing here
I'm standing here
Please tell me you can hear me
I'm expressing my love
Won't stop 'til I get ya
I'm not letting go
Imma run into your heart
Like a kid in a store
Take every ounce of love
And beg you for more
And beg you for more
But she has no idea, no idea
That I'm even here (that I'm even here)
I'm even here
She has no idea, no idea (no idea)
I'm standing here
I'm standing here
