The Afters’ Hit Song Beautiful Love has been selected as the theme song for the new MTV series 8th & Ocean which will air this spring. The song will be used for the theme song, commercials and for commercial bumpers. Also, the song has just confirmed for the upcoming film Just My Luck starring Lindsay Lohan releasing May 12th, 2006.

The song was penned by lead vocalist Josh Havens while his wife was in Mexico on a humanitarian-aid trip. “Shortly after we got married, she left to help build houses for people who were living in shanties. I was back in Dallas strumming on a guitar thinking about how people say ‘love can change the world.’ It’s usually a cliché, but my wife was living out that ideal. That night I wrote ‘Beautiful Love’ for her and all the magical things that can come from love.”
