Now I'm not saying the band stole the song, but when you hear the 2 back to back you'll see what I'm saying.

Listen to the opening of "Windows Down", and listen to the chorus too.

NOW listen to the hook of the world famous super-mega-hit-smash from Blur called "Song 2".

DID YOU HEAR IT? Yes you did because there is NO denying that they are EXACTLY THE SAME!

That's not to say that the band has done anything illegal, per se. But they have done something horribly wrong. They haven't just sampled the original. They copied it note for note. INCLUDING the signature woo-hoo that had everybody singing along to Blur's original song. Poor decision by somebody for sure. If all this band's handlers can do is re-write a few words, and not very good ones either, then they need new people.

Rumor has it that Ke$ha was writing this song originally and someone sold it to BTR. So did Ke$ha rip off Blur? Did her label do it unknowingly? No one can say for sure yet, but we can say that there is nothing original about this song and it should never have been released.

This is from the "official" Wikipedia page:
"The song is an electro rock and dance-pop song influenced by dubstep. Written by Alexander James, Bei Maejor, Damon Albarn, Dave Rowntree, Graham Coxon, Matt Squire, Matthew Musto and Mike Posner, the song was originally going to used by Ke$ha (then called "Woo Hoo") for her new album, but was sold to Big Time Rush when "Woo Hoo" leaked. The instrumental heavily samples "Song 2" by Blur."
