Austin Mahone might have revealed something no fan knew about him. That was until his brand new music video for his latest single “Dirty Work” debuted on July 27. It seems like the American singer is a fan of the TV comedy series “The Office” as his music video definitely took its inspiration from the popular sitcom that ran for nine seasons until 2013.
In the video, the American pop singer plays a perfectly groomed employee who was assigned to take over the office by his boss, who undoubtedly looks a lot like “The Office” star Steve Carell, as he has a date to attend. Paying homage to the hit NBC comedy series, the 19-year-old singer leads the way in turning their boring day at work into a full-on party mode. The video then mirrors “The Office,” cutting to clips featuring direct-to-the-camera interviews in which one co-worker oddly compliments Austin, saying that he smells like new envelopes.
Aside from the whole office turning into a complete dance party in the “Dirty Work” music video, the “Torture” hitmaker also starts to flirt with the new girl employee while showing her around. The pair starts getting cozy and started jibing with the upbeat song and making out, before getting busted by their snooping colleagues.
Strong demand
Austin made his announcement about the release of his latest single from his debut studio album on Twitter last month. The song was supposed to be released to iTunes on July 10 but due to the strong demand from his fans, who prefers to be called Mahonies, the release of “Dirty Track” was pushed earlier to July 1, just one day after the song debuted on radio stations. The single is part of his still untitled album that is expected to come out by the end of the year.
Speaking to MTV, Mahone was candid enough to talk about his brand new music video’s concept. He says that the video gives a whole new meaning to the phrase dirty work and adds that he had a fun and crazy time shooting it.
According to Hollywood Life, Austin’s real-life girlfriend, Becky G, hasn’t actually seen the video yet. The Teen Choice Awards nominee, however, assures that he’ll hear about it when his girlfriend has already watched the video. The “Mmm Yeah” singer admits that he found it hard to shoot the sexy and intimate scenes with his song playing so they had to cut many times. The director then opted to play a super sexy R&B song which totally created better shots.
Long-distance relationship
In his recent interview with E! News, Mahone also gets chatty about his relationship with the “Shower” singer. Mahone disclosed that despite the distance between them, they are still having a good time. The 19-year-old singer confesses that he visits Becky in LA while the latter visits him in Miami. Additionally, Austin admits that long distance relationship is definitely difficult, but the fact that they are both working in the music industry makes it easy for them to understand each other’s work commitments, and eventually bringing them closer together.
Earlier this month, the teenage pop stars were spotted getting their dose of sun, sand, and water at a beach in Miami. The two had no problems displaying their affection in public as they chilled at the beachside. The two were then spotted getting cozy in the poolside of their hotel in Miami.
The couple started dating at the end of February, but it was only in April when Austin himself confirmed that he and Becky G were officially on. The two are only a few months into their relationship, but their relationship seems to be going stronger by the day. Proof of that is the adorable pair packing on the PDA for Becky’s “Lovin’ So Hard” music video.
