Fall Out Boy Premiere NSYNC-Inspired New Music Video For Demi Lovato-Assisted “Irresistible” Remix!
I thought the only video we would see of the Fall Out Boy “Irresistible” Remix featuring Demi Lovato would be the one the band premiered a long time ago featuring the adorable Doug, the pug, but turns out that one won’t be the ‘official’ music video in the end. That one has just been downgraded to ‘buzz’ video.
FOB’s “Irresistible” remix has been performing so well on radio and charts in the US in the last months that the band’s label of Island Records has finally got it together and has given the band a decent budget to shoot a proper music video for the high-energy remix. The new, ‘official’ music video was premiered today, January 5, via VEVO. Directed by Wayne Isham, this MV does feature the physical and real presence of pop star Demi Lovato, plus cameos of two special guests. Oh, and by the way, before you leave a comment saying “this theme looks way too familiar”, check out the description Fall Out Boy has released alongside the video:
“What if in the NSYNC video for “It’s Gonna Be Me” there was an analog to the story? Where in the same store there was a dollar bin full of toys that no one really wanted that would band together like the misfit, offbrand little outsiders they were. “Irresistible" is the video for that story, it's about the toys no one ever wanted come to life. It was directed by Wayne Isham, the director who did the original NSYNC video and features Demi Lovato and special cameos by Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick.”
Yep. This is NSYNC, “It’s Gonna Be Me”-inspired.
The “Irresistible” remix music video opens with Demi Lovato working at a factory’s assembly line making sure all the toys are placed in the right boxes. What kind of toys doe she have to deal with? Doll versions of real musicians. In this case, dolls of NSYNC (are these still selling?) and Fall Out Boy. Once her work shift is over, Demi will drive to a nearby Toy’s R Us to check out the result of her daily job. She will look for the FOB dolls but what she will find is more than what she expected. FOB’s dolls have come to life and are messing with other toys. Intertwined with the scenes, there others where we can see FOB and Demi rocking “Irresistible” remix in an all-white set and serving rock gods vibes.
