“The Idea of You” Boy Band August Moon Drops New Music Video for “Guard Down”
August Moon, the fictional boy band of American romantic comedy film “The Idea of You”, has dropped a new music video for “Guard Down”.
The band consists of Nicholas Galitzine as Hayes, Raymond Cham as Oliver, Vik White as Simon, Dakota Adan as Rory and Jaiden Anthony as Adrian.
The song is featured on the soundtrack album of the film, which was released on May 2, 2024.
It was written by Albin Nedler, Carl Falk, and Savan Kotecha. Produced by Albin Nedler and Carl Falk.
The video was directed by Michael Showalter, who also directed the film.
Songwriter Savan Kotecha told Rolling Stone about the song, “It's all about the pitfalls of fame. Letting your guard down is either substance abuse, or women, or whatever... partaking in things you know you shouldn't and losing someone that's known you before you were famous.”
British actor Nicholas Galitzine, who played The band frontman Hayes, said, “Acting is quite insular in a way, whereas being a musician, you have to give all your energy outwards. I had such fun doing the music side of it. But whether I can be a pop star in real life, I think, is maybe be a different thing altogether.”- The film “The Idea of You” was directed by Michael Showalter, staring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine.
It is based on the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee.
The film centers on Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old mother, who sparks a romance with Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the 24-year-old lead singer of the “hottest boy band on the planet” August Moon. -
