"Free Loop (One Night Stand)" (titled as "Free Loop" on Daniel Powter) is a pop song written by Canadian singer Daniel Powter. It was his second single and the follow-up to his successful song, "Bad Day". It did not achieve the success of its predecessor. In the UK, WEA failed to realize the single was deemed ineligible to chart since "Bad Day" was still in the UK Top 40 at the time. In the U.S., it did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100, but it did crack the Top 30 of Billboard's Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.
[edit] Music Video
The video (directed by Marc Webb) who also did "Bad Day" and "Lie to Me," shows a young Daniel Powter starting at a piano in a music store and puts his fingers on the window and magically plays the piano. We then see a grown-up Daniel Powter, who is now able to buy the piano. He then sees a note of eviction on his apartment door and has to sell the piano back to pay for the rent. After selling the piano back, he's shown at a bar where a talent scout talks to him about being part of a once-in-a-lifetime offer. Getting ready for his "big performance," he sees the piano demolished after being used in a strip club with glasses thrown at and prostitutes landing on the keys. He then takes home and repairs to its former glory. At the final scene he performs it at the "Billmore Hotel," and gets an applause from crowd at the end of the song. All the scenes were filmed in California.
Daniel explains that he wanted it to reflect on people, their relationships and himself, not about champagne or car rims: It's about people, relationships and situations in "...piano pop music, over-infatuated on steroids."
