Release: Lead single for Demi's fourth album Demi, in February 2013.
Songwriters: Mitch Allan (also producer), Jason Evigan (also producer), Sean Douglas, Nikki Williams, Aaron Philips, Demi Lovato
Fun Facts: Demi had just broken her leg from slipping on the floor after her roommate had just cleaned it with Pledge, but made it to photoshoot for the single cover. "Heart Attack" was originally written by Nikki Williams for her debut album and the title "Heart Attack" came about because Jason Evigan said whenever Nikki has a crush on someone she has a heart attack. A lot of people actually wanted this song but Demi freaked out when she first hard it after recording the song "Two Pieces", then made a few lyric changed that everyone loved.
Hazey's Focus: As much as Demi stan I consider myself to be, the dark secret is I've gone through phases on multiple occasions where I wasn't paying attention to her music at all. One of those times is currently, after the day I heard "Sorry Not Sorry" and the subsequent album. The other time was back during the Unbroken era because literally nothing excited me much beyond "Give Your Heart a Break" and it took being pointed to "Heart Attack" on his release for me to comeback. Sometimes I think this is going to sound like something less than a 10, but the listening is experience is through the roof. Never really thought the huge chorus was amazing but I'll bop, instead it's really all about the verses especially at each "make me feel like a girl"... damn the melody of that section is unthinkably good.
We've seen a few examples of @Sprockrooster's (5) boyfriend underscoring favorites but the roles are reversed this time: "I CANNOT AT MY BOYFRIENDS' SCORE. I am still traumatized this of all Demi songs went to the first winner's rate."
You'd think @Sally_Harper (7) had been all shouted out by now, but maybe Stockholm Syndrome worked out us: "This is pretty good, and actually the shoutier vocals work here." Hey, they work here a heck a lot better than Skyscraper.
Like I definitely agree with @Blond (7.5) is saying but she still slaays it: "Awful lyrics but kind of a bop? These seems to be the beginning of Demi’s wailing banshee era which she hasn’t come out of yet."
Want to here what logic sounds like? Here's @WhenTheSunGoesDown (8.5): "Such a dumb song. I love it."
It was never going to perfect for @livefrommelbs (9.75) because of sports: "Probably my fave Demi song after Cool For The Summer. Deducting 0.25 points for the 'bounce like a basketball' line, but the way she hits that note before the final chorus is chill-inducing."
Hey stop saying @Mina (10) doesn't like a happy bop because she shocked the world by calling this "Fun!" - We're writing this date down in herstory.
You're right @unnameable (10) but it goes right up with September's "Resuscitate Me" which will kept us alive after being slain: "Demi is your queen when you’re having a cardiac event."
Yes that's other flawless moment @iheartpoptarts (10): "Just a ridiculously huge song. The “putting my defenses up, ‘cause I don’t wanna fall in love” bit is so melodically perfect."
@GhettoPrincess (10) is happy that the underdog story finally came through for poor Demi: "catchy and impressive vocals all over the track. The production is great and shows what Demi is capable of as a pop artist. Unfortunately it’s clear that generally she doesn’t get the material that could make her a bigger force in pop like this often. I love how it builds up to utter chaos at the end."

Okay now Sparks out and we will have the best top 4 of all time.
he/him
(Sparks is on the last page, so you're all set)
Oh my bad, I always try to say 'they' and 'their' when I don't know so I can't imagine I've been doing it all rate, but if so I'm sorry.
It's alright, just letting you know it does not feel right to me xx
In other rate related news I'll be happy with whatever wins but hope it's my 11 that does win

Yay.
At this point I'm okay with any of them winning, but Love Song and Come Clean have won in other rates before and Demi winning seems unlikely so I'm rooting for Naturally.
she/her
It's okay, we all have!
A statement that can be applied to my whole life, right there.
he/him
*nerve giggle* I've got to put my battle gear on because after people see this elimination, there could be meltdowns.
Two 11s and at least a few more people who treat this as another 11...
*gulp*
But now it's officially Hilary vs. Demi vs. Selena
#4. Selena Gomez - Love You Like a Love Song - 9.050

Release: Second single from Selena's third album When The Sun Goes Down, in June 2011.
Songwriters: Antonina Armato (also producer), Tim James (also producer), Adam Schmalholz, also produced by Devrim Karaoglu
Fun Facts: The video sparked a minor controversy when initial photos showed horses with pink body paint on them; something that was criticized by singer P!nk actually. The final video has them omitted despite the paint proving to be non-toxic and used under supervision by the Humane Society. The song was rumored to be called "Love You Like a Song" before being released under its real name, wow that would've sounded weird huh?
Hazey's Focus: I figured this would be in the running for victory of course as it did win the Selena Discography rate with a 9.722 average. Back then I gave the song a 9 and over the years I'll admit it has lost a bit of its steam. Obviously, I still use it though because it's undeniable teen-pop anthem and this how I described it back then:
"This song deals with a relationship in its early stages and is described be Selena as her most "high fashion" sound at the time. You can't deny the pulsing synth in the first few seconds, as it sets the tone. The lyrics are other-worldly here in just about every part of the song. The "repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat" moment is always talked about with reason; in the dictionary next to pop music hook. Her vocals are seductive and teasing and the bridge is one to make your head spin with infatuation. Where does this song truly win the game and send everyone else home? Just put the song on and hear the 2:15 mark once, "No one compares, you stand alone, to every record I own..." and try to deny that you aren't absolutely love drunk. Anything other than 100% all-in after that is a complete and utter lie."
@Sally_Harper (6) loves the visuals but only likes a few of the stronger moments in the song itself: "This is inoffensive but a bit boring, although the “No-one compares…” section is lovely. The video’s fun though and her hair in the karaoke scenes is INCREDIBLE."
It's pretty much overrated if you ask @Martyn (7): "It's ok, not sure why it is one of her big ones."
@unnameable (10) was hitting re-peat-peat-peat seven days a week and twice on Sunday: "what a jam! Played this to death." I think that's unfortunately what I've low-key done to it.
That's never going to be issue for @31entrance (10) or @Sprockrooster (10) though: "lowkey her best song no matter how many times I hear it I never seem to get tired of it." \\\\//// "This does not age and barely gets old. Also, I stan the Willam-take on this also a lot!"
@Blond (10) is aware that the Selegend loves to snatch hits from other pop girls: "Was this written with Rihanna in mind or did I just make that up? Either way this slaps. The production is fucking great and no shade but whether a Selena song is good or not is really 100% down to the producers." No, not this song, but Britney had some songs taken from her for this album.
@aniraz (10) is here to prove I meant what I said about "basically another 11 for a few other people": "nearly my 11…"
They weren't alone either because it made choosing between an underrated favorite (their heart) and a song that had a shot at winning (their head and their heart) an impossible task.
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (10) was definitely feeling the pressure: "It feels so wrong to not give this my 11, but this rate is tearing me apart with an unreasonable amount of bops!"
@iheartpoptarts (10) knew exactly what was at stake, thinking "What Dreams Are Made Of" needed it more: "THE Disney pop karaoke song. Should probably win. (Because I doubt my 11 has a realistic shot...)"
This should put your minds at ease:
Even if all three of you had bumped your 10 up to an 11, "Love You Like a Love Song" still wouldn't have surpassed our #3 song.

I have no 10s left. In the Disney rate. Everything is broken.
he/him
But I have two 10s and my 11, how did that happen?
she/her
he/him
Haha, what I meant is if the final three are clearly the tops for the genre how did at least one of them not get a 10 from you?
she/her
I'd say one of them doesn't even belong in the genre!
(Sorry, you know I heart you, etc. etc.)
he/him
This passive aggressiveness. Whew, what a journey.
he/him
But when it's constantly discussed as her best song among her fans and one of the best songs in modern teen-pop. You two just aren't on the same bandwagon and that's fine.
