FUSE TV - Why Don't We Talk Famous Co-Signs & Breaking the Mold for Boy Bands

The phrase "We on something different" isn't just the slick hook of Why Don't We's rising single, but more of a mantra for the boy band's refreshing, overall approach to the music industry they're keen to conquer.

"There's different ways you can interpret it," Corbyn Besson, the group's overtly friendly 18-year-old blonde, shares of "Something Different" which is currently Top 40 on pop radio. "Obviously the lyrics are about a relationship between a guy and a girl who are kind of on their own wavelength, doing their own thing, and not really caring about what everyone else thinks. Or if you're kind of riding solo, living the single life, you can interpret it in a way about doing you, being yourself; you're unique, who cares if you're different."

"Also, if you're in a boy band," adds Daniel Seavey, 18, who acts a bit like the group's caretaker, always telling my recorder who's speaking. "You can interpret it in a way that we kind of do where we're just doing the music we love and releasing as much of it as we can. It kind of summarizes what we've been doing lately in a song."

After a year together, the band—consisting of Besson, Seavey, Jonah Marais, Jack Avery and Zach Herron—have released four EPs, starred in half a dozen music videos, recorded countless mashups and YouTube vlogs, and embarked on headlining and radio tours. It all marks an impressive, somewhat unprecedented amount of material for an American boy band who typically look to first build an image off breaking one huge single as most recently seen via One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" or The Wanted's "Glad You Came" in 2012, the singles that successfully set the stage for each act's body of albums, tours, books, TV shows and more.
