It seems like billionaires have it all. Money. Fame. Cash. Rockets. Undue influence over society. More money. But money can’t buy the most important thing of all: love. “Blew Up The Moon” tells the story of a rich, lonely man – let’s call him Geoff – trying to win back his lost love with the promise of flying her to the moon. And as expected, things go horribly, horribly wrong.
This song evolved from a short musical sketch into a full-blown arena-ready pop anthem. We matched danceable beats with punchy bass and airy synths with driving guitars. Add in some classic Stains vocoder and a dubstep breakdown, and you’ve got what is perhaps our most vibrant song yet. Coachella, we’re waiting for a call.
In between mixing Blew Up The Moon and sweltering during this summer’s heat wave, Andrew came up with an upbeat, Eurodance track that would make Vengaboys proud. “Let’s Get Hot” is our most suggestive song, but we’ve traded the cutesy “boom boom” talk for several temperature-related metaphors for getting it on. It’s the #1 track of the summer, just in time for Thanksgiving!
“Blew Up The Moon” lyrics:
When we first met we were blasting off to space
Under the constellations, in every star I’d see your face
You wanna go out tonight? Fast as the speed of light?
The party just won’t quit
Ignition in 3-2-1, we’re hurtling towards the sun
Baby this is it
We were floating above the Earth, but our orbit atrophied
We’re gonna burn up in the atmosphere – had to outrun gravity
I needed to show to you, I needed to prove to you
That the spark’s still lit
Ignition in 3-2-1, we’re hurtling towards the sun
Babe, I ask you this
If we flew to the moon
Would you see that I still care
If we flew to the moon
I could be your billionaire
Maybe I could change your tune
Make you proud or make you swoon
If we flew to the moon
Under the guise of exploration, I had built a rocket ship
And to rekindle our affection, we packed our bags and took a trip
It’s not hypothetical, it isn’t rhetorical
Babe, this offer’s Prime
Ignition in 3-2-1, we’re hurtling towards the sun
I’ll ask you one more time
If we flew to the moon
Would you see that I still care
If we flew to the moon
I could be your billionaire
Just your average tech tycoon
Who wants to be your little spoon
I did it all for you
I did it all for you
I didn’t know what I would do
But I did it all for you
When the engine trouble started, it was already far too late
I ejected the escape pod, but couldn’t change the course of fate
A barrage of meteorites, or a flood of killing tides
It’ll be a catastrophe
Impact in 3-2-1, the damage has been done
Baby don’t you see
That I blew up the moon
Trying to show that I still care
Yes I blew up the moon
Can I still be your billionaire
Because of love I was a fool
Now the world will meet its doom
‘Cause I blew up the moon
“Let’s Get Hot” lyrics:
It’s been too long, you know we’ve got a problem now
The heat’s been building since the day we met
You feel it too, yeah I can see your sweat (ooo)
Mercury’s rising, we can’t bring it down
So let’s get hot
(Oh Oh Oooh)
You got me so frustrated
(Oh Oh Oooh)
I’m just so dehydrated
I’m thirsty oh, but not for H2O
This thermometer’s gonna blow, oh, oh, oh
We struck the match, the room is really scorching now
You got me lit up like a molotov
It’s getting hot in here (I wanna take my clothes off)
Alarms are ringing, gonna burn it down
So let’s get hot
(Oh Oh Oooh)
You got me so frustrated
(Oh Oh Oooh)
I’m just so dehydrated
I’m thirsty oh, but not for H2O
This thermometer’s gonna blow, oh, oh, oh
