"Backseat" is a song written and recorded by American hip hop duo New Boyz featuring American production duo The Cataracs and American singer Dev. The song was released as a single on February 15, 2011 as a digital download in the United States and served as the second single from New Boyz' second album Too Cool to Care. The song contains elements of hip-hop, rap, electropop, and dance music and contains use of Auto-Tune on some of the vocals.

Music video

[edit]

A music video was directed by Jake Davis.[1] It was premiered on March 7, 2011. It features appearances by featured artist Dev in shiny glittering dress, which changes into a white-and-pink dress with a quarter of a pyramid and The Cataracs.[2] The first few scenes were shot with a silver Mercedes-Benz 300SL, with appearance by all artists. The scene changes to a "party in a club" scene after the second chorus, and the back seats of a car, given the title of the song. It ends with New Boyz being covered by the shadows.[2] Ironically, the music video contains cars that actually don't feature back seats as well as a Mustang in place of the Camaro that is not orange. Also in the video, car miniatures were used to create an illusion of it being full-scale models.
