On August 13, they hinted on their official Twitter account that they might release the song Paralyzed, which has been leaked in the past. The track was made available on SoundCloud. However, it never found its way into the band’s prior albums.On August 13, the boyband of the 2010s took to Twitter to take the netizen's opinion on the release of their song.Big Time Rush@bigtimerushWe’re so happy to see that everyone across the globe are now able to enjoy all our music.But the real question. How badly do you want us to release PARALYZED?‍♂️🏼‍♀️138741830We’re so happy to see that everyone across the globe are now able to enjoy all our music.But the real question. How badly do you want us to release PARALYZED?🙋‍♂️🙋🏼🙋‍♀️In an additional tweet, the band encouraged their fans to get the track trending on Twitter before they could release its official version.For those unaware, the track, which went viral in 2011 is about a boy and a girl who are smitten with each other to the extent where the former gets stunned, infatuated, or paralyzed by how attractive she is. In the song, the singer stutters certain words to indicate that he is finding it difficult to speak as he is paralyzed.What is the meaning of Paralyzed? Netizens attempt to cancel Big Time RushAs the debate over whether the song Paralyzed is ableist or not continues, some defenders of the track mentioned online that the word has several connotations and is not necessarily used to describe someone incapable of certain physical movements.Twitter user @lizzardwyatt16 pointed out that the word can also be used to describe a person who is “unable to think or act normally, especially through panic or fear.”im a nerd ig@lizzardwyatt16To the people saying that Big Time Rush's song #PARALYZED is offensive, there are multiple meanings to the word the word paralyzed does not always refer to someone with a disability16834To the people saying that Big Time Rush's song #PARALYZED is offensive, there are multiple meanings to the word the word paralyzed does not always refer to someone with a disability https://t.co/E7C50iJetIAnother meaning of the word read:“Bring (a system, place, or organization) to a standstill by causing disruption or chaos.”@lizzardwyatt16 highlighted the definition in relation to the inability to think due to fear. Some fans believe that Big Time Rush insinuated this definition in the song.However, several Twitter users deemed the song to be problematic. Netizens are also pointing out that the ableist community is racist. Several netizens online were also outraged by the fact that Lizzo and Beyonce were asked to remove ableist lyrics from their songs while Big Time Rush gets a pass.In recent weeks, Beyonce and Lizzo made headlines after using the slur “spa*z” in their songs Heated and Grrrls, respectively. The two quickly addressed the matter and removed the word from their songs.Followers of Big Time Rush demanded that the song must not be officially released, as others defended the Til I Forget About You creators. Avid supporters of the band slammed those who deemed the song to be ableist, saying that netizens have become incredibly “soft” and sensitive.As the debate continued online, a few tweets read:Ola Ojewumi@Olas_TruthCurrently, #PARALYZED is trending as fans of Big Time Rush are asking them to release this song.
