Olly Murs has hooked-up with the Whistle rapper Flo Rida and is stirring up some trouble in the cheeky new video for his latest track, "Troublemaker" the lead single from the 28-year-old British pop star' upcoming third studio album, "Right Place Right Time," available in the UK on November 26 and the US on December 4. But not like album's tile, the X Factor popstar finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time in his new video.
"Troublemaker," has a very late-'90s, early-'00s vibe, is an incredibly catchy, fun and pure pop anthem, which Murs co-wrote with Claude Kelly and Steve Robson. It also has a '70s, disco beat, but it's tempered by Murs' silky smooth tone and delivery. That is, it never sounds retro. It's absolutely modern, despite a backbeat from another sonic era. Lyrically Murs has said that the song is about "that special girl that you can't shake off, even if you know you should because, let's face it, she's got a bit of a wild side." The lyrical hook that features the title has us wanting to make trouble.
Speaking about the unlikely collaboration, Murs recently explained that Rida was immediately interested in working with him and signed up after hearing the track: "Getting Flo Rida on the record was kind of easy, in a way. [It] wasn't hard." The two already collaborated together on track "Heart Skips A Beat." The album title reflects the way everything has fitted in place for the British star to date. "'Right Place, Right Time' as a title sums up my career to this point," he said. "I've worked hard in everything I've done, doing what's felt right, and everything has fit into place. It sums up the sentiment for this whole album."
The playful video features Murs following an unfortunate young lady around and causing her to fall victim to all kinds of mishaps, and by coincidence, she keeps crossing paths with Murs. The pair are then seen in a nightclub where a fight breaks out after a tray of drinks is knocked over, and they make a run for it before being stopped by a burly security guard. Rida briefly shows up to drop his bars, is seen in a billboard on a beach next to a luxury car with two scantily dressed clad women perched inside in a sunny American city.
