INTRO
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Slow down, get my feet back on the ground
Cause I'm letting everybody know
I can see that we're beautiful

Blue skys, reflected in your eyes
Just an ordinary perfect day
All the words are gonna fade away

PRE-CHORUS
They said, they said, it's hit or miss

You're too young, too young to feel like this
(Too young too young)
But we know, we know, it's in the kisses
(We know we know)
Oh Oh Oh Oh

I don't care where we go
Got nothing but love
I want you to know that girl you're my number one

We're chasing the stars
We'll never look back
We'll take on the world, girl I promise you that

VERSE 2
We'll laugh and look at those photographs
(We'll laugh)
(look at those photographs)
Tell them everything we've seen
Send them postcards of where we've been

And who cares? We're making our own mistakes
(Who cares- ALEX)
(Make our own mistakes)
But we're gonna enjoy the ride
Cos you know we got a wild side

PRE-CHORUS
They said ,they said, it's hit or miss
You're too young, too young to feel like this
But we know, we know, it's in the kisses
Oh Oh Oh Oh

CHORUS
I don't care where we go
Got nothing but love
I want you to know that girl you're my number one

We're chasing the stars
We'll never look back
We'll take on the world, girl I promise you that

BRIDGE
It's so much better than they'll ever know
So take my hand and let's just go
This is bigger than the both of us
I'm there I promise

CHORUS

Got nothing but love
I want you to know that girl you're my number one

Sneak-Peek From First Episode Of "School of Rock"

To celebrate Nickelodeon USA starting to premiere and show Nickelodeon Productions and Paramount Television's brand-new live-action, musical-comedy series School of Rock in March 2016, Nick USA has unveiled a fantastic new sneak peek preview from the series premiere episode, which you can watch in the super online streaming video clip here on Nick.com!


The gifted students of William B. Travis Prep School are in for the lesson of a lifetime! When their teacher of a unique group of prep school students suffers an unfortunate skateboarding spill, Mr. Finn, a down-on-his-luck musician poses as their substitute teacher, steps in. At first, the overachieving and rule-following kids are rather unimpressed, but little do the students know - their new substitute actually rocks! Their new teacher, Dewey, uses rock n' roll to ignite their inner expression, and with their talents combined, this class of classically-trained musicians forms a band complete with headbanging beats and face-melting solos. But if they want to live the rock star life, they'll have to band together and keep the whole thing a secret. With Mr. Finn's help, they'll discover that working together isn't just cool, it rocks! School of Rock is inspired by the hit movie of the same name.


In the fantastic sneak-peek from the very first episode of School of Rock (#101), after seeing his students play in music class, Mr. Finn decides that the best way to teach Shakespeare is through rock n' roll!

School of Rock stars:


Tony Cavalero (Nickelodeon's Splitting Adam) as "Dewey," a down-on-his-luck musician posing as a substitute teacher, who ultimately becomes the most unique and well-liked teacher the kids have ever had. Although he has an alternative approach to teaching and could probably learn more from his students about history or math, Dewey uses the language of rock n' roll to elevate and inspire his class of kids to reach new heights as the band called "School of Rock."

Ricardo Hurtado as "Freddy," the new kid who brings a fresh rebellious perspective to William B. Travis Prep School. He is an effortlessly "cool" kid who recognizes the opportunity in building the band with Dewey, and challenges the class to take risks in the name of having fun. Freddy is a good role model for Lawrence and Zack, has the same interests as Tomika, and supports Summer when it counts.

Lance Lim (Growing Up Fisher) as "Zack," a reserved child of overbearing parents, who comes out of his shell as the band's electric guitarist. He walks the line between fearing the consequences of breaking the rules and embracing the independence that Dewey encourages. Zack is a good friend to all, and with the confidence he gains from the band he makes the choice to become his own man instead of a "Yale man."

Aidan Miner (Nickelodeon Creative Lab's Homeroom) as "Lawrence" the quirky, technologically-inclined, unabashedly confident keyboardist for the band. He may miss social cues and create messes for the band, but his heart is always in the right place as a team player who completely embraces rock n' roll.

Jade Pettyjohn (Nickelodeon's Henry Danger) as "Summer," the overachiever with perfect attendance and a blind ambition for academics. Not satisfied with playing tambourine in the band, she ultimately becomes the manager when she realizes she can use her organizational skills to the band's benefit. Summer learns to take risks and be a team player, especially when it means getting noticed by her crush, Freddy.

Breanna Yde (Nickelodeon's The Haunted Hathaways) as "Tomika," is the fun-loving bass player who is a bit of a tomboy. Although more comfortable with a skateboard than a microphone, Tomika's peers soon learn that she is a double threat – a gifted bass guitarist who also has some powerful pipes. Tomika is grounded and knows who she is, which is why she is such a great best friend to Summer - together these girls can accomplish anything.

New Sneak Peek Of Brand-New "Power Rangers Dino Super Charge" Episode "Nightmare In Amber Beach", Premiering 2/13 On Nickelodeon USA

To celebrate Nickelodeon USA premiering the brand-new Power Rangers Dino Super Charge episode "Nightmare in Amber Beach" on Saturday 13th February 2016 at 12:00pm ET/PT, Nick USA has unveiled a fantastic new sneak peek preview from the all-new PRDSC episode, which you can watch in the super online streaming video clip here on Nick.com!


In the brand-new Power Rangers Dino Super Charge episode "Nightmare in Amber Beach" (#603), Shelby Watkins (Camille Hyde) receives a pillow from an unknown sender. When she uses it to take a nap, she starts living a nightmare. The Rangers suspect this must be from Snide (Campbell Cooley) so they all make sure to stay awake, but that proves to be harder than they first thought. In the super sneak peek, "Business Magic", Shelby's dad shows the gang the magic of making a profit, however, she's not amused.

Nickelodeon Asia To Premiere "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Season 4 On Monday 22nd February 2016

Original Nickelodeon Asia Press Release via Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Asia's official Newsroom:

NICKELODEON'S "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" VENTURE INTO SPACE IN NEW SEASON PREMIERING IN ASIA ON MONDAY, 22 FEBRUARY

Tweet it: .@nickelodeontv's #TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles venture into space in new season premiering in Asia on 22 Feb @nickasia!

SINGAPORE, 10 FEBRUARY 2016 - The heroes in a half shell from Nickelodeon's popular CG-animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will venture into space in the fourth season premiering in Asia on Monday, 22 February at 6pm (WIB/TH) and 7pm (HK/MY/PH/SG/TW).
This season, Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo cross space, time and dimensions in order to reverse the destruction caused by the Triceraton attack. Fans of the series can expect to see newly reimagined characters and villains, and an ooze of celebrities including David Tennant, Ron Perlman and Michael Dorn.


Episode one sees the Turtles, April and Casey Jones, being rescued from Earth by The Fugitoid, a strange alien, moments before its destruction. David Tennant (Dr. Who) guest stars as The Fugitoid who was once an alien scientist named Dr. Honeycutt, but after his body was destroyed, his brain was saved and placed into the body of a robot. Peter Stormare (Fargo) guest stars as Lord Dregg, an arrogant, insectoid crime lord. When the Turtles incur his wrath, he becomes one of their most dangerous enemies. Michael Dorn (Star Trek) stars as Captain Mozar, the supreme Commander of the Triceraton Fleet. He is a cunning and brutal military commander who answers only to the Triceraton Emperor.

Additional guest stars debuting later in the series include Lance Henriksen (Aliens) as Zog, a scout for the alien Triceraton army; Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy) as Armaggon, a vicious, bounty-hunter robo-shark with a taste for turtle; and Zelda Williams (The Legend of Korra) as fan favourite Mona Lisa, a highly skilled Salamandrian warrior.

Viewers can access exclusive digital shorts on Nickelodeon's website after the on-air premiere of episodes from season four of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These videos centre on the adventures of a real turtle named Archie and his helpful robot buddy, Galileo.

New game apps recently launched and inspired by the show include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Portal Power and TMNT Battle Match. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Portal Power action-packed street fighting game lets users help the Turtles travel through portals and fight evil. Users can play as all four Turtles at once as they punch, kick, power-up and portal their way through outrageous dimensions to stop Shredder and the Kraang from unleashing another diabolical plot.

In the original global TMNT Battle Match app, kids connect matching puzzle tiles to gain points that will grant them special moves and powers in order to battle enemies in outer space. The series' first global mobile app, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rooftop Run was #1 among all paid apps in the U.S. and in more than 80 territories around the world when it launched in April 2013. These apps may be downloaded from www.nick-asia.com/apps.


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is part of Nickelodeon's successful animation slate which also includes SpongeBob SquarePants, Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners and Rabbids Invasion. Since its launch in 2012, Nickelodeon's all-new CG-animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has re-energized these iconic characters of this wildly popular franchise. The series is seen in over 170 countries and territories, and translated in over 50 languages. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles follows four mutant turtles— Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo — trained in the art of ninjutsu by their mutant rat sensei, Master Splinter, who teaches the turtles to battle evil from the New York City sewers. Executive produced by Ciro Nieli and Brandon Auman, the series is created at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California.

Nickelodeon USA Unveils Official "School Of Rock" Website

To celebrate Nickelodeon USA starting to premiere and show Nickelodeon Productions and Paramount Television's brand-new live-action, musical-comedy series School of Rock in March 2016, Nick.com has launched the networks all-new official School of Rock show website to accompany the brand new series, which you can visit here at nick.com/schoolofrock!


The gifted students of William B. Travis Prep School are in for the lesson of a lifetime! When their teacher of a unique group of prep school students suffers an unfortunate skateboarding spill, Mr. Finn, a down-on-his-luck musician poses as their substitute teacher, steps in. At first, the overachieving and rule-following kids are rather unimpressed, but little do the students know - their new substitute actually rocks! Their new teacher, Dewey, uses rock n' roll to ignite their inner expression, and with their talents combined, this class of classically-trained musicians forms a band complete with headbanging beats and face-melting solos. But if they want to live the rock star life, they'll have to band together and keep the whole thing a secret. With Mr. Finn's help, they'll discover that working together isn't just cool, it rocks! School of Rock is inspired by the hit movie of the same name.


School of Rock stars:

Tony Cavalero (Nickelodeon's Splitting Adam) as "Dewey," a down-on-his-luck musician posing as a substitute teacher, who ultimately becomes the most unique and well-liked teacher the kids have ever had. Although he has an alternative approach to teaching and could probably learn more from his students about history or math, Dewey uses the language of rock n' roll to elevate and inspire his class of kids to reach new heights as the band called "School of Rock."

Ricardo Hurtado as "Freddy," the new kid who brings a fresh rebellious perspective to William B. Travis Prep School. He is an effortlessly "cool" kid who recognizes the opportunity in building the band with Dewey, and challenges the class to take risks in the name of having fun. Freddy is a good role model for Lawrence and Zack, has the same interests as Tomika, and supports Summer when it counts.

Lance Lim (Growing Up Fisher) as "Zack," a reserved child of overbearing parents, who comes out of his shell as the band's electric guitarist. He walks the line between fearing the consequences of breaking the rules and embracing the independence that Dewey encourages. Zack is a good friend to all, and with the confidence he gains from the band he makes the choice to become his own man instead of a "Yale man."

Aidan Miner (Nickelodeon Creative Lab's Homeroom) as "Lawrence" the quirky, technologically-inclined, unabashedly confident keyboardist for the band. He may miss social cues and create messes for the band, but his heart is always in the right place as a team player who completely embraces rock n' roll.

Jade Pettyjohn (Nickelodeon's Henry Danger) as "Summer," the overachiever with perfect attendance and a blind ambition for academics. Not satisfied with playing tambourine in the band, she ultimately becomes the manager when she realizes she can use her organizational skills to the band's benefit. Summer learns to take risks and be a team player, especially when it means getting noticed by her crush, Freddy.

Breanna Yde (Nickelodeon's The Haunted Hathaways) as "Tomika," is the fun-loving bass player who is a bit of a tomboy. Although more comfortable with a skateboard than a microphone, Tomika's peers soon learn that she is a double threat – a gifted bass guitarist who also has some powerful pipes. Tomika is grounded and knows who she is, which is why she is such a great best friend to Summer - together these girls can accomplish anything.


Nick USA's brand-new official School of Rock series website features information about Nickelodeon all-new musical-comedy series, character bios for the cast of School of Rock, exclusive video clips, including a super sneak peek titled "Making The Band", and Nickelodeon's official School of Rock message board/forum, where fans can talk about Nick's brand-new show!
