Directioners' parents overhearing One Direction's new single, may have thought it sounded like their best song ever growing up: the Who's "Baba O'Riley" from 1971.

Producer Julian Bunetta opened up to MTV News about the track and that sonic coincidence on Thursday, one day after it leaked prior to its official release on Monday. He said, "Well I mean it starts with a synth and 'Baba O'Riley' starts with a synth. I mean that's a huge compliment because if that can evoke that same excitement than that's amazing but that was not the... we weren't saying 'OK, let's rip off 'Baba O'Riley'.'"

He added, "At a certain point we recognized it had the same type of intro where there's a synth and a piano, but we really tried to make sure that there was no intellectual property stolen or anything like that."

(This is not the first time the young stars have looked to the past for some inspiration. Last year, 1D admitted to paying homage to The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" on "Live While We're Young.")

So, if "Baba O'Riley" is not the best song ever that inspired the group's new single, just what was?

Well, Bunetta says that's a mystery, even to him. "That's the thing. Have you ever had a night when you were out and you were with friends and you were partying and you were dancing and you were at the height of your happiness and you woke up the next day and went 'That was so much fun... what was ...

It's not only summer break for real-life students, it's also vacation time for the pupils of "Degrassi." And this season, the series is trying something new as fans of the long-running teen soap will head off to all parts of the globe with the show's characters.

The new season kicked off last week, giving an early taste of all the ups and downs the crew will be going through during the steamy summer months. Everyone's leaving to various places, like Paris and New York City, as well as more rustic spots like summer camp.

Stars Luke Bilyk and Munro Chambers recently stopped by MTV News to chat about the show's fresh format. "I think it's something new for 'Degrassi' because we've never really seen this before," Chambers said. "We've done university before, around season eight, but 'Degrassi' [has] never seen what's happened in the summer, except like a special. So I think it's something exciting for the fans to see in the first seven or eight episodes."

Bilyk added, "It's not like a special like what you said. Sometimes you have like a spring-break special or 'Degrassi' goes to Manhattan or Hollywood, just following a certain amount of four or five characters going on a trip. This is actually summer — they get to go on a trip, and you get to see the whole school experience before they even come back to Degrassi."

With so much guaranteed to happen as the season unfolds, Bilyk admitted that there's bound to be some signature "Degrassi" drama and plot twists that will certainly ...

SAN DIEGO-- After years of waiting for the next movie from the director of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and "Children of Men" Alfonso Cuarón, we are just months away from "

When Cuarón stopped by MTV Comic-Con Live, he offered fans a better idea of what a "Sandra Bullock stranded in space" movie will be like. Based on the "Gravity" trailer, perhaps the easiest comparison in mainstream film that people can make is to Tom Hanks in "Castaway," but as Cuarón explain, "Gravity" will be much more suspenseful.

PHILADELPHIA — Demi Lovato can now add another accolade to her long list of accomplishments: director.

On Wednesday, the singer premiered the video for her patriotic pop song the second single from her latest album, Demi.

The video, which she co-directed alongside Ryan Pallotta, follows the tale of a young couple, — played by "Friday Night Lights" actress Aimee Teegarden and "90210" actor Dustin Milligan — whose classic American romance starts off innocent and pure, but is shortly put to the test as Milligan's character is sent off to war.

When MTV News recently caught up with Lovato, whose "Heart Attack" clip is nominated for Best Female Video at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, she revealed that the idea for has been long in the works.

"I was listening to it, and that's what came to mind. There was no reason, it was just something in my mind while I was listening to the song," Lovato said backstage at Philadelphia's Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Summer concert. "And I knew it was going to be my next single from my album and this is what I do: If I know what my next single is, I'm immediately thinking of the concept. I wanted it to look like a short film."

With its cinematic look and in-depth story line, many Lovatics might have been surprised that Lovato — who acts as a soundtrack to their love story, appearing only in performance shots — didn't cast herself as the leading lady.

Among all of rap's glitz and glamour, Ace Hood exhibits a blue-collar ethic. Sure, he wears gold chains and a diamond-encrusted watch, which has made headlines itself, even if for all the wrong reasons. There is even his "new Buggati." But when you strip away the decoration, Ace Hood may be the hardest-working rapper out, and his latest, Trials & Tribulations, stands as his testament.

"It's a groundbreaking year for Ace Hood and I think this album, now that it's out, everybody understands who Ace Hood is now," Ace's mentor and We the Best CEO DJ Khaled told MTV News. "It might've took four or five [albums] to give him his respect, but now you respect him and now he's a problem. He's gonna be one of the best in the game, and I won't take no talk back about."

Trials is Ace's fourth LP and his first under the all-powerful YMCMB umbrella. His 2008 debut Gutta was unassuming and came and went, while most rap fans barely batted an eye. There have been standout singles like "Cash Flow," the Chris Brown-assisted "Body 2 Body" and, of course, "Hustle Hard," but on T&T, Ace brings his biggest hit ("Bugatti") and his most complete work.

The title track sets the tone as the South Florida rapper lays out all of his hardships. From the deaths of his grandmother and his baby daughter to his mother, who is "dodging heart attacks," Hood doesn't hold back. "I'm a walking testimony and I mean just what I say/ Looked my daughter in her eyes right ...
