`If That's Not Love` (CD single)
- By The Naked Brothers Band
- Genre: Pop
Common Sense Media says
Tween TV stars' first song lacks pizzazz.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that tweens will want to listen to this song over and over again because it's the first CD single from the popular Naked Brothers Band. There's absolutely nothing to worry about here except getting this mindless pop rock tune out of your head.
What's the story?
For the first single off their first album, The Naked Brothers Band brings us a very catchy song about loving what you do, even with the pressures of being a star. The real and on-screen brothers (and their band) sing their hearts out while having fun with "IF THAT'S NOT LOVE."
Is it any good?
Unfortunately, the lyrics don't make much sense -- and aren't well-written either: "We've got the music in our blood/Magical seasons and then we're done/Magical feeling has begun/Magical feeling has begun." Huh? What does come across is a bunch of kids valuing friendship and music and having a good time. Things could be worse.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the pressures of being a celebrity and of being on TV. Tweens, how do you feel about fame? Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? Families can also discuss the challenges of following your dreams. What aspirations do kids have and why? Is there anything you can do now to start preparing for your goals?

death by pop.
I have no problem with pop music. But I DO have a problem with THIS pop music. Boring, unoriginal, obnoxious.... need i keep going? No innappropriate material, though.... and thats the only compliment this one's getting. Sorry N.B.B. fans.

Cheesy
I think the song is cheesy. For a good message, listen to Hannah Montana instead. The boy in the video looks kinda showoffy

Great song! (:
It's very nostalgic and it makes me think of younger times when I was in elementary school and this was my very favourite show ("If That's Not Love" was the theme song). (:

Not-so-great song, but has a good message for kids
No doubt about it: if your tweens are fans of The Naked Brothers Band (show and/or movie), they will want to buy this CD. They will be slightly confused, however, as this song was recently re-recorded, and is different from what they hear in the show's theme song.
Nat's singing has become slightly better since he first recorded this song, but still, his pre-pubescent voice will make you, the adult, and possibly some kids want to rip their hair out. The lyrics don't make much sense either. "We've got the music in our blood / Magic seasons and then we're done / Magical feeling has begun / Magical feeling has begun"? Well, that's what you get when an untalented twelve-year-old twerp writes the songs.
Still, the song has a good message about doing what you love to do, no matter how pressuring what you do can be. But, for better music with the same message, you should let your kids listen to Hannah Montana instead.
