Far East Movement Chill Out With New Single “Rocketeer”

Over the weekend, Far East Movement premiered their new single “Rocketeer” on Cherrytree Radio. The track features Ryan Tedder on piano (in August we posted an exclusive pic of Tedder tickling the ivories on the set of the video) and was co-written by chart-topper/Idolator bowling partner Bruno Mars. Listen to FM switch things up with their dreamy new jam below.

It’s kind of like the chill, bleary-eyed comedown the day after a big bash, when you just want to lay around and listen to some mellow tunes.

See that? Far East Movement—they’re like a party favor and a hangover cure all rolled into one.
