"Rude" on YouTube

"Rude" was an international commercial success amidst mixed reception from music critics. The song peaked at number six on the Canadian Hot 100 and internationally topped the charts in the United States and the United Kingdom and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden. "Rude" was the ninth best-selling song of 2014, with global sales of 8.6 million units, and won the Juno Award for Single of the Year.[1]

Background and composition

"Rude" was written by Nasri, Adam Messinger, Mark Pellizzer, Ben Spivak, and Alex Tanas, and produced by Adam Messinger.[2] According to the sheet music published by Sony/ATV Music Publishing at Musicnotes.com, "Rude" is a reggae fusion song set in common time with a tempo of 144 beats per minute. This song is written in the key of B minor.[3]

"Rude" was named after the reggae term "rude boy" and originally based on a real-life situation. The lead singer of Magic!, Nasri, had been in an unhealthy relationship with a previous girlfriend. After the two of them got into a fight with each other, the band based the song off that headline. The couple was in a "mean time" when they were both being rude to each other, as Nasri says in what he describes as a "dark vibe".[4]

Critical reception

Critical reviews for "Rude" have been mixed. 4Music complimented the song, saying: "One listen and you'll be hooked."[5] An article in Psychology Today drew a connection between the lyrics of the song and social attitudes about interracial relationships,[6] while Time magazine named "Rude" the tenth-worst song of 2014, criticizing its "sanitized reggae-fusion sound" and lyrics.[7] Renowned for Sound gave "Rude" a 4 out of 5 star rating, calling the track "lighthearted fun."[8]

Music video

The music video features the band singing the song in a garage while scenes show Nasri in a relationship with a woman played by model Ayla Parker. After this, Nasri asks her conservative father, played by actor Brian Knudson,[9] for her hand in marriage, but the father refuses and won't explain why. The mother, played by actress Mary Kay McCartney, is somewhat softer. Eventually, Nasri secretly proposes to her and together with the rest of the band, try to convince the father, but he still refuses. Nasri marries her anyway and all party in the garage as Parker proclaims her love for Nasri and she abandons her overprotective father's house once and for all. The video was released on the band's YouTube account on December 5, 2013.[10] As of January 2023, the video has over 2.3 billion views on YouTube, and is one of the top 70 most viewed videos on the site.[11]

Live performances and covers

On December 9, 2013, the band made their Australian television debut on Sunrise, where they performed "Rude".[12] In June 2014, the band performed an acoustic version of the song on On Air with Ryan Seacrest.[13] In July, they performed it on The View and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[14][15] On August 10, 2014, the band performed the song at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards.[16] Magic! and American singer Marc Anthony performed a Spanglish version of the song at the 15th Latin Grammy Awards ceremony in 2014 with Anthony singing parts of the song in Spanish.[17]

In September 2014, 15ECONDS (now Aviwkila) performed the song on Rising Star Indonesia. Their performance got a 94% approval rating from viewers.[18]

On July 15, 2015, Postmodern Jukebox released a cover version of the song on YouTube,[19] featuring Von Smith.
