The first version featured rapper Snoop Dogg, who appeared in an episode of Big Time Rush with the band. The second track on the album, ' Boyfriend', was originally recorded and released as a solo song however, upon being released as a single, two new versions of the song leaked onto the internet. The previously recorded track which featured Jordin Sparks was listed on the album, along with another duet with R&B artist Cymphonique. The songs 'Any Kind of Guy', and ' Famous', the latter of which is a cover of the Play song, were included on the international release of the album, along with the songs 'This Is Our Someday', and 'Stuck' (the last one exclusively to the UK and in some iTunes stores around the world). Most of the band's songs featured on the TV Show were included on the album, which also served as the soundtrack to the First Season and part of the Second Season of the series. On September 1, the album track listing for the standard version was released online. She took me to the actual show before she was in it last time. It was such a pleasure to have Jordin on the song. This has her voice one side and then there are our four voices on the other. Usually, a duet has one person on each side. It's a five-way ballad, but it turned out pretty cool. The song is one of our first group ballads. She wanted to get into acting, so we wrote an episode about her. She's so talented, and she's a sweetheart too. She absolutely deserves to be where she is. If you hear her sing in real life, she sounds just as good live every time.

When asked about the collaboration, James stated This provided great promotion for the band's music, and led to three hit songs, 'Halfway There', ' Boyfriend', 'Big Night', to begin charting on the Billboard Hot 100.Īs seen on their television series, the band worked with many well known celebrities, such as Jordin Sparks, who recorded a song with the boys titled 'Count On You'. While working on the album, the band released many of the songs as promotional singles onto iTunes, as well as debuted them on their television series. The boys worked with composers and producers such as Emanuel Kiriakou, Lucas Secon, Matthew Gerrard, Kevin Rudolf, Edwin 'Lil Eddie' Serrano, Jeremy Skaller, Robert Larow, Stuart Grekin, Chris Rojas, The Messengers, Eric Sanicola, S*A*M and Sluggo, Timothy Foxx, Jordan Delani and Scott Fellows (the creator of the group).

BTR had been in the making since 2009, when the four members signed on for the show, Big Time Rush.
