"To Be Wanted" by Plug In Stereo feat. Megan and Liz

Here it is you guys! The new video from Plug In Stereo feat. Megan and Liz in their new song "To Be Wanted"! Take a look and let me know what you guys think about it!

"To Be Wanted" by Plug In Stereo feat. Megan and Liz


Plug In Stereo‘s serotonin-raising collaboration with Megan & Liz “To Be Wanted” premiered on Idolator last week and instantly won us over with its heartfelt lyrics and soaring chorus. It’s seriously addictive! Today (October 23) we’re excited to debut the equally inspiring video.
So what can you expect from the 20-year-old crooner’s visual? Well, Trevor Dahl (his real name) plays his guitar on a rooftop, Megan & Liz make a welcome appearance and a bunch of little narratives help express the song’s feel-good message.
There are down-on-their-luck types, a loved-up gay couple and some nice scenery. Most of all, there’s Plug In Stereo’s amazing curly hair. Watch up top.
Do you love “To Be Wanted” as much as we do? Let us know in the comments below.

MTV Buzz Worthy

Megan and Liz's single and music video "Release You" were reviewed on MTV Buzz Worthy! Read it all below!


There's nothing we love more than a tale of YouTube darlings who morph into big-time pop stars. That being said, please meet Megan & Liz: They're Michigan-based twin sisters who just so happen to share bangin' hair AND bangin' voices.
After dropping "Release You," their infectious Max Martin-produced "YOU'RE STRAIGHT DUMPED" anthem this past summer, the girls are ushering in the fall season with an accompanying video, which takes die-hard Megan & Liz Stans behind the scenes as the sister act revs up for a big concert.
Watch Megan & Liz' "Release You" video after the jump.
As opposed to the "Sex And The City"-style Carrie and Mr. Big break-up/kiss-off scene we had initially expected, Megan & Liz's "Release You" video is instead a fast-paced montage of behind-the-scenes shenanigans that's topped off with a good old-fashioned performance clip. (I mean, if we can't see the girls slapping their exes as they strut off in matching Louboutins, this is definitely the next best option.)
Sing-chanting like a slightly more wholesome version of Icona Pop, Megan and Liz spend their "Release You" video primping and prepping for the big show, watching their fans go wild, and jumping in rhythm. And of course suddenly we're wondering why our parents didn't have the foresight to give birth to a musically-inclined twin sister. It's like, THANKS FOR NOTHING, GUYS! (J/K, love you, mom and dad.

MTV 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs Of The Week

Megan and Liz's new single "In The Shadows Tonight" is one of MTV'S 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs Of The Week! Take a look! And it's the Number 1 Must hear pop song too!


1.) Megan & Liz, "In The Shadows Tonight"
Megan & Liz, our favorite li'l YouTube darlings-turned-bonafide pop starlets, are back! After dropping "Release You," their catchy, Max Martin-produced #BANGER earlier this summer ("Goodbyeeeee!"), the girls have decided to slow down the tempo and delve into darkness. "In The Shadows Tonight," which was co-penned by the sister act and produced by frequent Disney pop act producer John Fields, finds the girls slipping away into the shadows of their minds -- all the while pumping massive, arena-sized '80s power-pop ballad hooks throughout. It's probably their most mature moment yet, and it's a nice place to find some solace.
On a side note, today I heard "Release You" on the radio for the first time and I screamed on the inside! Thanks 20 on 20!

M Magazine

Megan and Liz opened up to M Magazine to talk us through bullies, fake friends and being yourself! Take a look!


Have you ever had to deal with a fake friend? Are you worried you and your BFF are growing apart and you don't know how to stop it? M asked you on Twitter what kinds of friendship situations you needed advice on, and when we hung out with Megan & Liz, we had them answer some of your toughest questions.
The singing duo knows exactly where you're coming from — Megan even shared a specific story about a time when her friends were mean to her. The best advice that transcends through every situation is this: be yourself and do what's right for you.
Megan and Liz 1

What's one thing every teen girl should know?
"Every teenage girl should know they're beautiful," Liz told M. "You just really need to stay focused on who you are. Don't compare yourself."
How do I deal with fake friends?
"Don't take it personally," Megan advised. "The reason girls are being fake to you is because they have something else going on that they don't know how to deal with, so they take it out on you."
What can I do if my friends aren't being very good friends to me?
"[Bullying] has less to do with you than you think," Megan said. "Keep being yourself and try to stay positive because it's all you can do. You can't control what [a bully's] doing."
How do I get someone to notice me? How do I put myself out there more?
"Being outgoing and putting yourself out there is definitely hard to do but just start up a conversation," Liz suggested. "Just say you like someone's shirt. Really, it's a lot easier than you think."
Can you share a story about a time you stood up to your bully?
"In sixth grade, we were on a class trip to a water park. I had two friends who would randomly ditch me all the time," Megan confessed to M. "They decided to ditch me at the water park, on the lazy river, so I was there by myself. I was done with it so I went and hung out with a bunch of other girls. I was just done being the girl they didn't want to have around."
 How do I stop me and my BFF from drifting apart?
"People do change," Liz told M. "Things change really quickly [when you're a teen] and sometimes that means losing friends. You just have to work through that and figure our who's there to stay."
My friend and I are fighting over the same guy and I'm worried it could ruin our friendship. What can I do?
"First of all, never let a guy ruin a friendship!" Megan said. "Guys come and go but your friends are always there. Honestly, I would say just forget the guy!"
How do I make friends and push myself to be less shy?
"Get involved! If you're into singing, try out for the musical," Megan said. "If you're into dancing or cheerleading, then thats how you meet your best friends." Liz chimed in, "That's how you really get to know yourself!"
Megan and Liz 8

Is there anything I can do if my BFF doesn't want to be friends with me anymore?
"Honestly, you can't control what other people are doing and other peoples' actions. The best thing you can do is keep being yourself, how you were when you were still friends," Megan advised.
What's your best advice on getting through and staying positive?
"I know it's so hard but just know that school is tough but in the end, focus on yourself and you'll be fine," Liz told M.

"In The Shadows Tonight" Lyrics

Check out these awesome lyrics from one of Megan and Liz's new songs, "In The Shadows Tonight" inspired by the new summer blockbuster and book series "Mortal Instruments". Take a look!


Yeah there’s mountains in my mind
I keep on trying to move them
And I’m just wasting time
Cuz you can’t move a mountain
And they’ll never move for you
There’s gotta be more than this


It’s like I’m torn ripped down the middle
Maybe I’m crazy not a lot just a little
Just a little bit
Follow the lights that’s how it goes
But what about the shadows?
They hide the secrets that no one knows
I’m feeling scared for what I see
Giving it all trusting me
So ill just breathe
In a world of same
In a world of sunshine
I’ll hide in the shadows tonight
See the walls of my room
Come closing in come afternoon
Cuz it’s the same thing every day
And it’s up to me if I want things to change
Yeah I’m bored somebody rearrange me
Somebody rearrange me
It’s like I’m torn ripped down the middle
Maybe I’m crazy not a lot just a little
Just a little bit

Follow the lights that’s how it goes
But what about the shadows?
They hide the secrets that no one knows
I’m feeling scared for what I see
Giving it all trusting me
So ill just breathe
In a world of same
In a world of sunshine
I’ll hide in the shadows tonight
It’s like I’m torn ripped down the middle
Maybe I’m crazy not a lot just a little
Just a little bit

Follow the lights that’s how it goes
But what about the shadows?
They hide the secrets that no one knows
I’m feeling scared for what I see
Giving it all trusting me
So ill just breathe
In a world of same
In a world of sunshine
I’ll hide in the shadows
Oh I’ll hide in the shadows tonight

"Release You" Song Review on Artists Direct

Artists Direct reviewed Megan and Liz's new single "Release You" calling it their catchiest tune yet! They rated the song 4 of 5 stars and I think they deserved that extra star but hey, at least they reviewed it right? Read the whole review down below!

Megan & Liz have grown up quickly. However, in their case, that's a wonderful thing. The sisterly duo delivers its catchiest tune yet with "Release You". Bolstered by shimmering synths, a guitar jangle, and a big dance floor bounce, it's emblematic of their evolution into pop powerhouse. 

At the same time, the lyrics boast the same playfulness that made them an instant favorite amongst fans. The most impressive aspect of the song remains their incredible dual harmonies which punctuate the track with soaring elegance. You've been "released", and you'll be dancing all night to the one of the year's most delightful anthems.

Megan and Liz: Tommy2

Megan and Liz did an interview with Tommy2.Net to talk about their upcoming debut album, headlining tour and their thoughts on new music from 78Violet!** Take a look!


Tommy2: How’s it going, it’s Tommy2 and today we’re hanging out at the Mall of America with Megan and Liz who just finished performing a special acoustic set with a little tracked music as well for KDWB. So how are the two of you doing today?
Megan Mace: We’re doing awesome, he had so much fun on stage.
Liz Mace: I know, like how hard is it that our job means singing at the largest mall in america. I mean, what a bummer.
Megan Mace: It’s kind of awesome!
Tommy2: Actually the bummer is that you guys haven’t gotten to go shopping yet.
Megan Mace: I know… I gotta make time for that.
Liz Mace: Yeah, I think we’re going we’re going to try and squeeze in some shopping
Tommy2: A little earlier your flight was delayed, does that stuff bother you guys much or have you acclimated to that?
Megan Mace: I mean it’s definitely always on our mind, like oh what are we going to do if it’s delayed. But like today was especially bad just because by the time we got to the hotel we had 45 minutes to like… and like literally I hadn’t even showered yet. And so I had to like shower and be stage ready in 45 minutes and like I’m just a stress case when that happens. But like, it’s fine, like I got ready, I did it but like I’d rather not.
Tommy2: Part of this traveling is to get out their and promote your single, Release You. How’s that been going?
Megan Mace: Oh my gosh it’s been so much fun. This song is like probably one of my favorites that we’ve ever put out. It’s just like such a fun summer song, it’s just really like upbeat and I’m really proud of it.
Liz Mace: And it’s like so fun to perform and it’s crazy, it’s a new song. I mean it’s like a new era almost. So it’s like, it’s really cool!
Tommy2: About how long ago to you write and record that song?
Megan Mace: Oh that one, I’d say that one probably took like five or six hours?
Liz Mace: A good solid day in the studio for sure.
Megan Mace: It was just… I must just because it was these people who are so, you know high level it was very different cause you know they weren’t like oh that’s good enough. The were like no, we can beat it – no, we can beat it. So you know it did take a lot more time but like in the end it was definitely worth it.
<Liz Mace: Yeah.
Tommy2: And how long ago did you guys record it?
Megan Mace: This song was done in…
Liz: November.
Megan Mace: November. So we’ve had it like in our pockets like having to like not say anything about it for like so long.
Liz Mace: But you know we were waiting for like it to be you know like all… the details like all done you know with the song and then also you know the right timing for the song. Like it’s a very summer song so we wanted to release it in the summer.
Tommy2: But last time you guys were with me you could’ve told me about it.
Liz Mace: We could’ve…
Megan Mace: Oh yeah!
Liz Mace: Yeah, it was done and written so…
Megan & Liz: Yup!
Tommy2: And later this year you’ll be releasing your first full-length album. Is all wrapped up, or are you guys putting the finishing touches on it?
Liz Mace: It’s literally 95 percent done.
Megan Mace: Yeah we just did a song last week that was…
Liz Mace: Two songs last week.
Megan Mace: Yeah, two of the songs last week that are like, I think there’s still one or two more left, but yeah. So like it like 90…
Liz Mace: It’s all written it’s just like getting it and finishing…
Megan Mace: Polishing them off.
<Liz Mace: Yeah, like finishing details.
Tommy2: A few more oohs and aahs, right?
Megan Mace: Yes exactly!
Tommy2: And have you frozen the track list or is that set?
Liz Mace: It’s pretty set, yeah.
Megan Mace: We don’t have the order yet, like we keep changing that around but we have which ones are going on for sure.
Tommy2: And for people that don’t know, how much stress goes into setting the order just right?
Megan Mace: It’s awful because like you want it to flow but you kind of want it to tell a story also ,so like…. but it usually ends up being that the breakup songs are all slow, but you don’t want three slow songs in a row so then you end up having to break them up.
Liz Mace: Oh the struggles.
Megan Mace: It is…. but (laughter)
Tommy2: And how many songs will we officially get?
<Liz Mace: Um there’s eleven on the normal disc and there’s going to be deluxe edition’s floating around.
Tommy2: And this August, you two will be headed out on your first headlining tour presented by American Rag. The first thing I want to know is if you can hook me up some clothes?
Liz Mace: Oh!
Megan Mace: Oh you know it!
<Liz Mace: C’mon now American Rag maybe an American Rag gift card you know.
Megan Mace: Yeah.
Liz Mace: We’re actually going to be like giving them way like during the tour. Like
we’re like that’s part of it. We’re giving away on stage so every night we’ll giveaway gift cards.
Megan Mace: Yeah, it’s going to be really fun.
Tommy2: Good stuff! And you guys are going to be joined by Kalin and Myles for most of the dates, that should be a fun lineup.
Megan Mace: Yeah, we picked them just because they did open our show in LA and it fit really well. You know they’re like a DJ and like an upbeat boy group so they’re like complete opposite from us.
Liz Mace: Which is like good.
Megan Mace: Yeah, like opposites attract type thing and they’re like such sweet guys so we were like it’s perfect.
Liz Mace: Yeah, really good guys and like that like, were like this is our tour and we’re going to want somebody who’s going to represent us and our everything and they’re like awesome.
Tommy2: And keeping your girl fans happy.
Megan Mace: Yeah!
Liz Mace: Exactly! Yeah a little bit of eye candy for the girls who come out.
Tommy2: And you guys have been doing videos for Macy’s Great American Road Trip. In all honesty what’s been the best meal you’ve had.
Megan & Liz: Ooh!
Megan Mace: My favorite was the Crab Pot in Seattle like cause I had never had crab before so it was like so good.
Liz Mace: Oh my god! I would say that too. Like after the cameras were off we were sitting there gnawing on that.
Megan Mace: Like going hard
Liz Mace: For like 40 minutes. Oh my god, that was so good.
Tommy2: So fresh seafood is where it’s at. Not quite like the stuff you got in the midwest.
Liz Mace: Never got a crab pot in the midwest.
Megan Mace: Nope!
Tommy2: Well this winter you guys talked, you guys found a new thing that you guys were enjoying,
which was a certain type of spinning.
Megan & Liz: Yes
Tommy2: What was that all about?
Liz Mace: Oh don’t get us started on Soul Cycle.
Megan Mace: Yeah, it’s called Soul Cycle and it’s basically a spinning class but the whole thing is to music and you spin with the beat and then…
Liz Mace: So not only did that get us.
Megan Mace: Yeah, but it’s also very inspiration driven so like they tell you to think about your goals and think about your dreams. So you’re not only working out but it’s to music and your very like inspirational motivation.
Liz Mace: Yes.
Tommy2: And before we go here, I wanted to ask you two – since you’re big Aly & AJ fans how excited you are about 78 Violet releasing their single, Hothouse in July?
Megan Mace: I am so excited. I’m like really interested to hear what it’s going to sound like cause last I heard they changed their name cause they were trying to stray away from the pop sound. So I’m really interested to see if it’s gonna be like hipster vibey, like rock… like I’m really interested to see.
Liz Mace: And then like they’re going to have a show in LA but we’re not going to be there.
Megan Mace: And we’re so bummed.
Liz Mace: But yeah.
Megan Mace: I’m really excited though, love them.
Tommy2: Life is tough being a pop star right? You can’t go to all the shows whenever you want.
Liz Mace: It’s sad.
Megan Mace: Yeah!
Tommy2: Well thanks so much for your time. It was awesome, fun set, and finally got to see you guys rock it out today.
Megan & Liz: Thank you!
