才貌兼具的小鮮肉男團Why Don't We在2020年底發行了第二張正規專輯《The Good Times and The Bad Ones》，專輯中的單曲〈Slow Down〉賈斯珀一聽就很喜歡，有種放鬆慵懶的感覺，很適合在公路旅行的時候放著歌，讓外頭呼嘯而過的景緻慢下來。
在YouTube下面看網友留言才發現，這首歌取樣自The Smashing Pumpkins在1995年發行的單曲〈1979〉，基本上前奏抓耳旋律沒什麼更改，主要是歌詞和旋律與原作有所出入。〈1979〉的MV有著九零年代派對的狂妄，現在看起來還是很瘋狂。

註釋1：
歌詞「I miss the way you looked at me before I left New York」提到「我離開紐約之前」是因為2016年Corbyn Besson和美妝部落客Christina Harris開始交往，也是那年Corbyn搬離紐約到洛杉磯和其他4位團員發展星途，因此與Christina分離兩地。
註釋2：
mamacita是西班牙語，原意是媽媽，但也被引伸用來形容身形火辣的女生。
