Sugar Rush was A*Teens' third single from their sophomore album "Teen Spirit".

The song was released on radio in April 2001 and the video in May 2001 but failed to get the public's attention around Europe. However, the song was a hit in Latin America and Asia, and the video was often played in North America where it was nominated for "Best Video of the Year" at the Kids Choice Awards in 2001 but 'N Sync won the award with "Pop".

The single release had a B side, "Give it Up" that was later included on the Re-Issue of the sophomore album, "Teen Spirit"

"Sugar Rush" peaked at #15 in Sweden and #72 in Germany becoming (at that time) the lowest chart positions for the A*Teens in both countries, Mexican radio embraced the track and it reached #1 on its 5th week in the Top 100 while in Argentina the band scored another Top 20 reaching #11.

Several remixes of the song were added to dance compilations in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

[edit] Music Video

The video was filmed in Malibu, California in USA while the band was there promoting the album and touring with Aaron Carter. The video was directed by Patrick Kiely (who directed "Upside Down" and "Dancing Queen").

The video tells the story of the band members in love with their partners and also having fun on the beach. It was the year's 34th most played video by Telehit in Mexico.
