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 bet you didn't notice
First time your heart was broken
You called me up and we talked till the morning
And the time that you were stranded
I was there before you landed
He was a no show, I made sure you got home
And I've been right there (right there)
For every minute
This time, it's no different
Whatever happens you should know
Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over your shoulder
You don't have to wonder
Cause you know, you know, you know
You're not alone, girl
I'll be there to hold you
I'll stay till it's over
And you know, you know, you know
That you're not alone
That you're not alone
All the days that you were stressed out
Feeling like pulling your hair out
They were all missing but I was here listening
You gotta believe in me
Even if you can't see me there
I'll catch you when you fall
Cause I've been right there (right there)
For every minute
This time, it's no different
Whatever happens you should know
Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over your shoulder
You don't have to wonder
Cause you know, you know, you know
You're not alone, girl
I'll be there to hold you
I'll stay till it's over
And you know, you know, you know
That you're not alone
That you're not alone
I'll be here for you no matter what
Comes around the corner
Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
As long as I am breathing
You won't have to worry no more
Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over your shoulder
You don't have to wonder
Cause you know, you know
Cause you're not alone, girl
Look over your shoulder
You don't have to wonder
Cause you know, you know, you know
You're not alone, girl
I'll be there to hold you
I'll stay till it's over
And you know, you know, you know
That you're not alone
That you're not alone
That you're not alone
That you're not alone
I bet you didn't notice
First time your heart was broken
You called me up and we talked till the morning
