Songwriting[]

Lovato has said that she writes music from the heart and from experiences she's had. She told M Magazine: "I'm more of a writer whose stuff wouldn't make it on a Disney album. So I came to the Jonas Brothers and I was like, 'Ummmm ... I need help writing catchy stuff just because, well, my target audience isn't [into] metal music." [2] She also said about the Jonas Brothers' contribution, "My songs needed a polish, which is where the Jonas Brothers came in - and it all began on Camp Rock." [3]

Recording[]

Lovato stated in an interview that the vocals for the album were recorded in ten and a half days.[4]

Singles[]

"Get Back"

The album's lead single, "Get Back" was released on August 12th, 2008. It peaked at #6 on iTunes Top 100 Songs chart and #43 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was written by Lovato and the Jonas Brothers, with Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas on backing vocals. The Radio Disney edit omitted the word "kiss" from the line "kiss me/like you mean it/like you miss me" to "hold me/like you mean it/like you miss me". The edit was used for the music video.

"La La Land"

The second single in U.S and first in UK was chosen to be "La La Land" which was released on December 19th, 2008. The song was released to promote her new TV show "Sonny With A Chance" and the music video featured the main cast including Sterling Knight. It was performed on "Dancing With The Stars", and was not as successful as "Get Back", peaking at #52. In the music video, it changes the line "I'm not a supermodel, I still eat McDonald's" to I still eat at Ronald's.

"Don't Forget"

The third and final single was chosen to be "Don't Forget". The video featured a more mature Lovato singing in the rain, and was praised by critics. It became the #1 video on iTunes. The single's highest position on the Billboard Hot 100 was at #41."Don't Forget" is the most successful single released by Lovato yet.
