Beat This Summer
The artist releases Beat This Summer, from his album, Wheelhouse. Paisley explains that the song:
is meant to look at one of those love affairs that happens over the course of a summer. Where a guy and a girl fall in love and realize that this is going to be the best summer of their lives. I’ve thought that many a different summer in my lifetime that ‘I’m never going to beat this one.
New Day
The artist releases New Day, from her album, Girl On Fire.
A new day is the possibility to choose how to create the life of your dreams and letting no one to stop you.
Falling
Este on the bass lines in the song:
If I Could Change Your Mind was a challenge for me because it’s all fast 16th notes. Trying to make it funky without a pick was a little difficult. That and Falling are the two funkiest songs on the record. Writing those bass lines was really, really fun.
Pirate Flag
Chesney releases the single, Pirate Flag, from his album, Life On A Rock. Chesney:
What people might not realize about a lot of the ‘babes’ in this video is those are my friends, girls I know from the island who did the very thing this song is about, and that freedom from what’s expected just makes them shine. I think there’s a little bit of ‘Ferris Bueller’ in all of us, and this song is all about who we’d be on a perfect day where we just said, ‘Forget about it!’ So, that’s what we tried to capture.
Hope Is Just Ahead
Cyrus releases the single, Hope Is Just Ahead, which features vocals from Dionne Warwick.
As a singer-songwriter I’ve always tried to capture the truth and honesty of life. Sometimes it’s that moment of truth that becomes far too real and reveals the sacrifice that has been made. This song is about change. It’s about looking at our past mistakes and learning from them as a society. More than anything …it’s about ‘Hope’ and a better tomorrow…if we will only allow ourselves to believe.
Demons
Imagine Dragons releases the single, Demons, from their album, Night Visions. Reynolds:
We write on the road — in a hotel room at night or on the tour bus or on a plane. That’s how I always write; it always starts on a lap top, a very base demo idea. I already have, like, 35 demos in a playlist folder in my iTunes, (titled) ‘No. 2.’ I don’t know when that day will come, but when it does we’ll sort through all those demos like we did for the first album and pick out our favorites and work on them in the studio, in a live setting, and that’s where they’ll really come alive.

Two Black Cadillacs
Underwood debuts her music video, Two Black Cadillacs. The artist uses the Stephen King classic, Christine as an inspiration for her new video:
I really don’t know why I’ve always loved horror movies, but I know why I’ve always loved Stephen King. My mom was such a huge fan. I guarantee you she’s read everything he’s ever written. I would borrow her books and read her books. This is great reading material for, like, you know, a grade-school-er, right?
Feel This Moment
The artist releases Feel This Moment, featuring Aguilera, from his album, Global Warming.
Feel This Moment is a special record, and to work with Christina Aguilera is an honor, a blessing, someone that I highly respected, as far as her talent, her voice, her range that she can take it, and I think ‘Feel This Moment’ is gonna be a great record, because it’s got a very powerful sample and everybody’s gonna dance too. On top of that, when I say ‘Feel this Moment’ is basically, ‘feel life, don’t live life for a moment, live life for life, that is your moment.
LVL
The group sings on the artist’s track, LVL. The track is featured on his album, LONG.LIVE.A$AP.
Danielle:
We sang at the very end. (All begin singing ‘All you need is love’) That story was crazy because we met A$AP at a festival like a year ago.
Mama’s Broken Heart
The artist releases the single, written by Kacey Musgraves, Brandy Clark and Shane McAnally. Musgraves says the song is about the generational differences between women:
I feel like women in my grandmother’s generation were expected to put on a pretty face, and have dinner on the table, and not really show their crazy sides too much. Now, I feel like it’s a little bit different. Sometimes you just have to let it out, or it’ll just be bad news for everyone. I can relate to the song in that way.
Sure Be Cool If You Did
Shelton releases his single, Sure Be Cool If You Did, from his album, Based on a True Story.
Because We Can

Changed
The band releases, Changed, from their album with the the same name. LeVox:
We really felt like we had something magical on that. The three of us just held the pen and God kind of wrote the whole thing. It talks about how we all screw up and make mistakes and we can all change, but you have to be man enough or woman enough to say, ‘Hey, I’m sorry.’ Because you can’t live your life with regret. It’s time to change and sometimes the hardest thing in life is just forgiving yourself.
Lover To Lover
The band releases their song, Lover to Lover, from their album, Ceremonials. Welch:
It’s me saying, ‘I want to make a song just like this.’ I was listening to lots of Marvin Gaye and lots of Otis Redding, and Lover To Lover was me wanting to make a song I could imagine a male Soul singer doing. I was listening to a lot of Sam and Dave, as well.
Daylight
Maroon 5 releases the single, Daylight, from their album, Overexposed.
As different as we all are, there are common themes that bring us together, inspire and show everyone what is important today. With this video, we’ll present the world today and beyond, creating more than just a music video.
Freedom

Brand New Me
The artist releases Brand New Me, from her album, Girl On Fire.
Brand New Me is about the journey it takes to get to a place where you are proud to be a new you. There is nothing wrong with growing. There may be people in your life that knew you for a long time and they think of you only as the person you used to be and not the person you now are.
And this song is a conversation introducing them to the new you. Where nothing can hold you back and no one can hold you down.
One More Shot
The band releases, One More Shot, from the album, GRRR!. Richards:
It was probably the quickest Rolling Stones recording session I can remember, ever. We cut two tracks in three days. It was incredibly professional. I had One More Shot ready, Mick had Doom and Gloom ready to go, so, boom, let’s cut ’em.
