The muscle-bound comedy clip sees Frankie Muniz throw down as ‘Action Frank’
Hanson have shared a brand new track called ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ featuring Zac[h] Myers of Shinedown.
The trio, who got their breakthrough back in 1997 with their hit song ‘MMMBop’, have dropped off the latest preview of their upcoming album ‘Red Green Blue’, which is due to arrive on May 20 via 3CG Records.
“‘Don’t Let Me Down’ is a song all about seizing your moment. It’s about living up to your potential,’ explained Zac Hanson. “We all need encouragement to overcome the barriers in our lives, but ‘Don’t Let Me Down’ is a personal message.”
He continued: “I wrote it to myself. As I was facing the challenge of writing a solo project for the first time, I needed to hear, ‘don’t let me down, your moment is now.’”
The song comes alongside a comical video starring Frankie Muniz. Set in a gym, Muniz (playing the role of Action Frank) upsets some local meatheads – one of which is Zac Hanson (Reggie Willie) – and a weight room duel quickly ensues, complete with Rocky-type montages.

Meanwhile, Zac Hanson recently apologised after his deleted Pinterest account, which was filled with controversial and offensive pro-gun memes, was leaked online.
One meme on the account suggested support for George Zimmerman over the 2012 killing of Trayvon Martin, while another compared the right to use an AR-15 rifle with Rosa Parks’ right to sit on a bus.
In an emailed statement to Vice about the Pinterest account, Zac wrote: “The leaked Pinterest page provided a distorted view of the issues surrounding race and social justice, which do not reflect my personal beliefs. I apologise for the hurt my actions caused.”
