The music video was filmed in Maui, Hawaii and was released on VEVO on June 22, three days before the single's iTunes release.

It then dropped a few days later to #3, right after "Call Me Maybe", which it overtook earlier that week.
Reception to the song has been positive overall.
Nick Bassett from UK site The Re-View called 'Windows Down' a "surefire Summer pop hit", complimenting the use of the Blur 'Song 2' sample and wrapping up his article saying that it should "mark Big Time Rush as some hot, home-grown competition for our Transatlantic invading boybands".
Bill Lamb of About.com called the song "a guilty pleasure" and praised the song's use of rock, claiming that it provided "an appealing, more 'grown up' power pop sound for the group... [distinguishing them] from the wave of British boy bands hitting [North American] shores."

The Harsh Truth OUT THERE
@dottestep - dubstep and phonk music Rich and famous:
From child star to world wide pop-star. From catholic to satanism. From just a singer to a sell out. From amongst the living to amongst the dead.
There is 1 interesting thing which is always missing; nones never CHRISTIAN.
They are religious, who move from 1 religion to another, but nobody comes out from lies(darkness) and into the truth(light).
The road they always on:
From catholic to satanism
From Jehovah witness to satanism
From Islam to satanism
From Hindu to satanism
From atheism to satanism
From ignorant to satanism

If you're here in 2021 (or after) you're officially a legend.
