"Rhythm of Love" is a song by American rock band Plain White T's. It is the first single from their sixth studio album Wonders of the Younger. The song debuted at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 38. The song was featured in a fall 2010 promo for the season two premiere of Parenthood on NBC, and also during the closing credits of the 2011 film No Strings Attached. As of April 2011, the single has sold over 1,000,000 copies.

Music video

The music video was directed by Mike Venezia who also helmed the band's previous hit video for "1,2,3,4". Premiering August 14, 2010 on VH1, it was subsequently voted to the VH1 Top 20 Countdown fourteen weeks in a row, peaking at #6. The music video was also ranked one of the top seven clips of the year by tween magazine J-14, and accrued over 8 million hits on YouTube.

Filmed at Point Mugu, California, the video follows singer Tim Lopez as he walks and sings his way through a beach party along the edge of the shore. Band performance also occurs in front of a circus themed red and white striped wall, surrounded by dancers. The wall was later recreated as an illustration for the album cover of Wonders of the Younger, and physically re-constructed as a backdrop for official live tour performances.

On January 22, 2011, the "Rhythm of Love" music video was re-released in 3D by PassmoreLab and added to the official Mitsubishi 3D reel in over 11,000 retail locations, and made available for distribution worldwide.
