Lyrics[]
Watch this!
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (c'mon!)
C'mon!
Be, be, be my BFF (haha...)
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX
Show up in the same dress
We don't know who wore it best
Not make a big deal
Act like it's a new trend
Look good when we go 'round here
Try on these boots, I found
This boy who said you're sweet
He's got a best friend! (you'll always be my)
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (XOX)
I'm a better me
When you're here next to me
LJK, can't you tell
We're ROTFL
Who needs words when we got
Hearts, smile
T-t-t-time goes by so fast
But we are meant to last (and you'll always be my)
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (XOX)
(TTYLXOX!)
C'mon!
(And you'll always be my)
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (XOX)
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next (c'mon!)
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (XOX)
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (XOX)
Be, be, be my BFF
'Cause IDK what's coming next
And I'll be LMHO with the rest
So TTYLXOX (XOX)

Background and Composition[]
The song was the third single, along with "Something to Dance For" by Zendaya, from the soundtrack Shake It Up: Live 2 Dance. It was released as the third single of the soundtrack on Radio Disney's Planet Premiere on March 2, 2012, and on iTunes on March 6, 2012. The song was also used in the Shake It Up episode Judge It Up, which premiered on March 11, 2012. Musically, "TTYLXOX" utilizes funky electronica, is backed by R&B beats and uses a "sing-talk" vocal style like such artists as Ke$ha and Dev. The song has a catchy meaning from Thorne saying "talk to you later, hugs and kisses" which is abbreviated to "TTYLXOX".
Reception[]
Although it released as the 3rd single, it recived negative criticism by people, comparing it with Something To Dance For by Zendaya, which several critics claimed was "good and dedicated" and TTYLXOX was "catchy but confused".
Bop and Tiger Beat emphasized the introductory phrase of the music video, "You have to play Bella's song, it's amazing", saying that the track is really spectacular. The site also stated that the final product of the production of "TTYLXOX" is amazing and the beats are "incredible and catchy".
This song gained more commercial success than Something to Dance For.
Music video[]
The music video was released on March 9, 2012 during an episode of Jessie. It features Something to Dance For by Zendaya, making a mash-up version. It was also released on YouTube and VEVO two hours after the original world premiere.
A short music video (which uses some parts of the mash-up music video and other previously unreleased shots) for TTYLXOX also premiered on television on the Disney Channel. It is one minute long and does not show the full song. At the end of the video, another chorus is added and omits the sentence "And I'll be LMHO with the rest". The last difference is that Bella does a pose while she says 'TTYLXOX', which does not appear in the mash-up video. Watch it here.
