Dear Maria, Count Me In

"Dear Maria, Count Me In" is the debut single by the American rock band All Time Low.

The video was directed by Travis Kopach and features the band at a strip club watching a stripper, portrayed by Gilli Messer,[5] with the members' alter egos, portrayed by the band themselves, on the other side of the club.

Over the course of the video, the actions of the alter egos become more nonsensical, like riding a motorcycle on stage and letting a chimpanzee dance on the pole.

This started the viral "it’s not a phase" trend, which saw users quote the line while listening to "Dear Maria, Count Me In" to emphasize their continued appreciation for the pop punk and emo pop of the 2000s.
