24/Seven

24/Seven is the third studio album by American boy band Big Time Rush. It was released June 11, 2013 by Columbia Records in association with Nickelodeon. Recording for the album began in 2012 and ended in early 2013, a portion of which took place during the Big Time Summer Tour. The album is preceded by the promotional single "Like Nobody's Around", which saw its premiere on VEVO during the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards. The song became available for digital download on April 30, 2013 when the album was released on iTunes for pre order. As with the previous two albums, the album acts as the soundtrack to the Nickelodeon television series, Big Time Rush, which features songs that appeared in the series' fourth season. Motivated from songwriting that took place on the previous album, Elevate, the group became heavily involved in the songwriting process for the album. Kendall Schmidt confirmed that the group had recorded 40–50 new songs for the album, the majority of which were written by Big Time Rush.
