I don't think we talk about Rewind Your Heart nearly enough. The "final" version with the updated vocal runs has been on constant repeat for like a solid month now. I think it's up there with Bonnie's best in terms of melody and production and maybe top 3 on the album for me.

Well, Infopost 2.0 is taking longer than expected, primarily because it’s turning out to be a lot longer than expected. For better or worse, I keep finding new things to do, and my perfectionism demands more time in the editing room… so bear with me folks. Shooting for the end of the month at maximum, but hopefully no more than another week or two. In the meantime, I’ve been having a blast doing these “mini deep dive” sorts of posts, so I’d like to make them a weekly affair. Today’s subject is another songwriter demo that’s been lurking in the dusty corners of the web since as far back as 2010. For reasons that should make sense pretty quickly, I’ve long suspected it to have been connected to the guys, and by a stroke of luck, I think I’ve finally confirmed it! The song in question was written and sung by the Canadian musician Nasri Atweh, who already has a leg in BTR’s discography, having co-written a couple of their earliest cuts, “Big Night” and “Beautiful Christmas” (the latter of which we even have his demo of). Unlike something like “Star U Are”, which would be rendered pretty innocuous without the flashy ‘Big Time Rush Demo’ attached to it, Nasri brings us a rather different case - that’s because the title itself is, well, “Big Time Rush.” For most artists, that might seem like a joke, but here in the BTR fandom, instead I must clarify that no, we’re not talking about that “Big Time Rush” – this is another “BTR” altogether! Nasri - Big Time Rush https://mega.nz/file/QcUiGZIS#KB1_YLaARpHiV_X7gVbc3Gh6JGMIe_I1wJJQZoQWGn8 Even though this isn't the beloved and iconic theme song we all know and love, it’s honestly not hard to imagine a parallel universe where this charming, upbeat tune could have been the one playing while a certain four cardboard-cutouts jump around their album booklet in the classic opening sequence for Big Time Rush. Would it be unreasonable to wonder if Sony might have commissioned many different concepts for a theme, before settling on the one they did? If so, perhaps this was Nasri’s attempt at such an idea, and would offer an explanation to what this odd little curio is. Regardless of my own speculation, thanks to an all-but forgotten Facebook page used by Nasri in his earliest pro-songwriting days, we now know that, at the very least, it was indeed written for BTR! With all that out of the way, as with some other recent entries, please keep in mind that this demo was only written for BTR in hopes of having them choose it to record; it does not mean that it was. In fact, if you’re buying into my theme-song theory, it’s probably even more likely this one wasn't, given another would ultimately have been chosen to serve its purpose. I want to particularly emphasize this to those who are more... eager to re-share some of the content I archive here. I don't mind if you do (not like they're mine in the first place), but please, do be careful not to neglect the context. Fighting misinfo is pretty much the reason I’m so dedicated to this in the first place! Stay tuned for next Tuesday's update, which will bring a very unexpected happy ending to a previous post, courtesy of an amazing user here.

That was from the same Ustream as the original "Drive" snippet (11/24/2011). Both were scrapped BTR tracks that only Logan had started vocals on at that point in time. The later She Drives remix, by comparison, was made a couple years later using Logan's old work from the BTR version, and was (most likely) going to be released separate from the band's name.

Iggy Azalea - The End of an Era (2021) Sirens Brazil Pillow Fight Emo Club Anthem STFU I Am the Stripclub N.Y.E. (feat. Alice Chater) Woke Up (Diamonds) Is That Right (feat. BIA) XXXTRA Peach Body Sex on the Beach (feat. Sophia Scott) Good Times with Bad People Day 3 in Miami (End of an Era) [feat. Ellise] The only change is track 7, "N.Y.E.", which was changed for "Nights Like This" at the last minute and "N.Y.E." was relegated as a bonus track. This tracklist comes from the "Is That Right" producer Young Forever Beats, who posted it on his Instagram shortly before Iggy shared the final tracklist with track 7 updated. imo "Sip It" and "Posh Spice" deserved a spot in Standard instead of "Sex on the Beach", but hey at least they're on the deluxe lol.

Welcome! Thank you for the kind words To answer your question, yes, there is another version of "She Drives" - the reason it's not in this thread comes down to semantics, basically. After RAS played the original snippet (the one in the masterpost) in his Ustream, the Tumblr crowd went AWOL over it and kept harrassing him about releasing it. However, they never finished the vocals, and for obvious reasons Nick and Columbia were never going to greenlight it anyway, so at some point I think he just wanted to get something out so people would shut up already. That's essentially what the second version was. He ended up taking what he had of Logan's vocals and making a remix out of it; the snippet we have of that came from another one of his streams, from January 2013. The plan was to release it for free on Facebook the next month, but nothing ever came of it, probably due to rights concerns. I personally don't consider it "BTR" because he wouldn't have been able to release it under their name, so it technically would've been "RAS ft. Logan Henderson", if that makes sense. That's why I didn't put it in the masterpost. Again, though, doesn't hurt to link it for people who are interested (or disagree with me, because looking back through my notes, there's probably room for debate about what it really is.) RAS (ft.
