"Ass Back Home" Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch

If Travie McCoy loves anything, it's pretending that he's more rich and famous than he actually is (see: 2010 Bruno Mars-assisted solo hit "Billionaire"). So on his latest single with rap-rock group Gym Class Heroes, the horribly titled "Ass Back Home," it's the fast and fly celebrity lifestyle that's TEARING HIM APART! Never mind that McCoy is the definition of D-list, or that the song's central conflict—"I don't know where you're going," Neon Hitch sings as the waiting girlfriend, "or when you're coming home"—could easily be solved with healthy communication through regular e-mails and phone calls. Just ignore the almost laughably "pensive" verses and learn to love the pounding, ethereal chorus, which is probably already propelling "Home" toward an inevitable (and entirely forgettable) reign at the top of pop radio.
