For many fans, the Big Time Rush<\/em><\/a> theme song is an instant hit of nostalgia, but performing it on stage hasn’t always been as exciting for the band as it has been for the audience.<\/p>\n“It was written as a theme song, in my defense, which means it wasn’t written to be sung\u2026 to be performed live like regular music,” James Maslow<\/a> said on a recent episode of The Joe Vulpis Podcast<\/em>.<\/p>\nYet, as the conversation continued, the now-35-year-old singer explained how the fans ultimately helped him see the song in a completely different light, admitting he has “learned to love [it] more.”<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\nCarlos Pena, James Maslow, Kendall Schmidt, Logan Henderson of Big Time Rush.

Big Time Rush \u2014 made up of Maslow, Kendall Schmidt<\/a>, Carlos PenaVega<\/a> and Logan Henderson<\/a> \u2014 was formed in 2009 for the Nickelodeon show of the same name.<\/p>\nIn the early 2010s, they had three top 20 albums and five worldwide tours before splitting up in 2014. However, the boy band reunited in 2021<\/a> and has been performing for packed arenas and reconnecting with fans across the globe ever since.<\/p>\nWhile the theme song became one of the most recognizable parts of the group’s legacy, Maslow explained that turning it from a television introduction into a full concert performance was never a simple transition.<\/p>\n
“It’s always been a struggle, and we’ve always found a way to like put it in a mashup or sing half of it and like move on, and we still do to some degree because, again, it’s a theme song and it’s cheesy by nature,” Maslow admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Kendall](\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/D8557A68A21CDA6ABAEA411862771D4E6058CFA947D15C69EF0A0B1B548C0410\/subgraphmysterio\/resizefit_w960_h640;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Faol_people_articles_471%2Ffa964ed3931d3df7d91407ff842a8c08\"\/)
