"Music Sounds Better with U" is a song by American boy band Big Time Rush from their second studio album, Elevate. The song features American rapper Mann. "Music Sounds Better With U" was leaked two weeks before its official release, which was on November 1, 2011, as the first single from Elevate.

Writing

The band co-wrote the song with Noel Zancanella, Eric Bellinger, and OneRepublic members Ryan Tedder & Brent Kutzle. Production of the song was also handled by Tedder. On Big Time Radio, it was announced that before the final cut, there were around "nine or ten versions of the song".[1] The track covers the chorus from Stardust's 1998 song of the same name (written by Thomas Bangalter, Benjamin Diamond, and Alan Braxe).[2][3]
