The first single from Train's Bulletproof Picasso album finds Pat Monahan singing of falling in love at first sight with an "angel in blue jeans." Monahan penned the song with the New York-based Norwegian songwriting and music production team consisting of Espen Lind and Amund Bjørklund. The same trio also wrote Train's hit tunes "Hey Soul Sister" and "Drive By."
The song's Western-themed video features seasoned character actor Danny Trejo (Spy Kids, Machete) going against type by playing the good guy. (Monahan is the villain). New Girl's' Hannah Simone co-stars as the "angel in blue jeans." Monahan told Entertainment Tonight he thrived playing the baddie. "I think my face is really good at being a bad guy and it's great 'cause Danny, who usually is a bad guy, ends up being the hero, which is super cool," the vocalist said.
Trejo had to listen to the track around 50 times so he could lip syncs the words properly for the video. "I drove everybody crazy with it, but thank God everybody likes the song. Now everybody's singing it," he joked to ET. "This song is gonna be a hit, I'm telling you. Everybody's heard it. Low riders are all bumping it pretty loud!"
