Big Time Rush Lyrics

[Intro: All]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Kendall Schmidt & James Maslow, All]
Make it count, play it straight
Don't look back, don't hesitate when you go big time
What you want, what you feel
Never quit it, make it real when you roll big time (Oh-oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus: Carlos Pena Jr., James Maslow & Logan Henderson, All]
Hey, hey (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Listen to your heart now (Eh)
Hey, hey (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Don't you feel the rush?
Hey, hey (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Better take your shot now
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Hey, oh)

[Chorus: All]
Go and shake it up, what you gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life ya got, so ya gotta live it big time

[Bridge: All]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2: Carlos Pena Jr., Logan Henderson & James Maslow, All]
Step it up, get in gear, go for broke, make it clear
Gotta go big time (Oh, hey)
Make it work, get it right, change the world over night
Gotta dream
big time (Ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow & Logan Henderson, All]
Hey, hey, give it all you got now (Oh-oh, oh-oh, eh)
Hey, hey, isn't it a rush? (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Hey, hey, finish what you start now (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (Hey, woah)

[Chorus: All, Logan Henderson]
Go and shake it up, what you gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose (Life you choose)
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life ya got, so ya gotta live it big time

[Verse 3: Logan Henderson, Carlos Pena Jr., James Maslow & Kendall Schmidt, *All*]
Look around, *every light is shining now it's brighter somehow* (Ooh, woah)
Look around, *nothing's really as it seems, nothing but dreams*
You and I *gonna make a brand new sound, like we own this town* (We own this town)
We can fly, *now our feet are off the ground, we'll never look down*
Welcome to the big time (Time)
All the pretty people see you walking in the sunshine
Welcome to the good times (Times)
Life will never be the same
[Chorus: Kendall Schmidt, All]
Go and shake it up, what you gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose (Oh-oh, huh)
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life ya got, so ya gotta live it big time

[Outro: All]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life ya got, so ya gotta live it big time

Genius Annotation

“Big Time Rush” is the theme song to the Nickelodeon show of the same name, following the lives of the band also of the same name. The shows intro cuts the song after the first chorus, around the fifty second mark. The song is also the 11th track off their debut album BTR. Throughout the song, the group tells their audience to live their life to the fullest and take risks, taking advantage of the motivational “we’ve got only one life to live” trope.

The video below plays all four season’s intros at the same time, each using this song as the theme. The theme song plays as each member is introduced and the audience catches glimpses of their wild lives:
