Jason Derulo has released 'Make It Up as We Go,' a new track off his forthcoming album 'Future History' due in stores September 27, 2011. The song follows Derulo's first two singles, 'Don't Wanna Go Home' and 'It Girl,' which is currently climbing the radio charts.

'Make It Up as We Go' is an upbeat party track that has the 21-year-old superstar suggesting spontaneity in a relationship. "Are we together are we not? We don't need a label when things are going so well. After a few drinks I speak my mind and say, 'Let's MAKE IT UP AS WE GO!'" says Derulo.

'Future History' is Derulo's second studio album. As for the title, Derulo tells The Daily Telegraph that he hopes the album will be one that people will remember him for after he's gone. ""I would like my music to live after me... I want my music to be what is in the history books in the future."

To hear 'Make It Up as We Go,' tune to New Pop First for the AOL Radio exclusive.
