Well, this is the first song eliminated to recieve a 10, and let me celebrate that it's not one of mine. But honestly, listening to it and writing this, I'm a tad upset. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Love That Lets Go is a song recorded for the final season soundtrack, Hannah Montana Forever, and was written by Adam Anders and Nikki Hassman and was produced by Anders. Adam has worked quite a bit with Disney, and did a lot of work with Glee, and Nikki has done some writing and production (including Ashley's Don't Touch (The Zoom Song) which is a total BOP) and both of them will actually pop up later. The song is first featured in the show in the fourth season episode of the same name, which
revolves around a bet that Miley and Lilly have, where if Miley climbs the rope in gym, then Lilly will ride Blue Jeans (Miley's in-show horse, who we first meet in the movie). While Lilly is riding Blue Jeans, something scares him, and he bucks Lilly off, causing her to break her leg, and he runs off. Eventually they find him, and he ended up getting bitten by a snake, causing him to not be able to stand. The song plays over a montage of Blue Jeans flashbacks after it seems like he might die, but in the end he stands up and is okay. The episode is dedicated to Miley's real horse Roam-Man, who died sometime in 2009.
That said, the song is clearly more about the relationship dynamic between Miley and her dad, and about how they both need to be ready when Miley moves on and starts her life outside of home. Critics noted this as well, with AllMusic saying that "Cyrus says goodbye...to Billy Ray Cyrus on...Love That Lets Go" and EW adds that "Even ”Love That Lets Go,” an acoustic duet with her dad Billy Ray, feels more sweet than sappy" (which sounds positive). It's actually kind of beautiful, with the gorgeous production, and their strong vocals coming together to make something really sweet and meaningful. I really love the way it builds, starting with the acoustic guitar and coming with some strings and what almost sounds like a maraca, then adding the drums, and more elements as it goes on. Also, this is one of the few songs I think should be credited to Miley rather than Hannah, because it feels like her singing, and was probably something she could relate to at the time. It just makes more sense as a "Miley" song to me, but I digress. Y'all are wrong for this, there's much worse left. I should've given this a 9.5, especially since it's slowly becoming more and more relatable for me. I definitely underscored this, so I only have myself to blame. If I gave it a 10, it would have gone up a placement.

Let's just get your hateful comments over with. I should say hateful comment, since only 3 of you had something to say about this, and only one of you was a low scorer so here's @DJHazey (2) Strap in for another Father-n-Daughter ballad, I guess. Yup and it's exactly what I feared it would sound like. I'll play the whole thing through of course but I already have a score lined up and it's not pretty. Change my mind. See you in hell, you heartless heathen. Okay, now that we have the ugliness out of the way, let's see what @M24 (7.8) had to say: Another cute Hannah and Billy ballad! It's a better version of "Butterfly Fly Away". Still prefer "I Learned from You" out of those three. I agree with it being better than that song, but I also think it might be the best one out of all of them. I really fucking underscored this. Finally, we have our sole, and our first, 10-giver, @savilizabeths (10) who will be coming for all of you: I am here, yet again, as a fan of the father/daughter duets in this rate. This one starts so delicate and almost mystical feeling. It’s so pretty, damn. Definitely hits me in the sappy feelings. It’s so soft and pure. I love that shit. You are beautiful and perfect. Never change. Except you know, doing so in the normal ways humans do.

Here's that montage I mentioned:

You know, I hate it when gorgeous ballads don't do well. Just A Girl was recorded for the third season soundtrack, Hannah Montana 3, and was written by Toby Gad and Arama Brown, and produced by both of them as well. Like I said, this is gorgeous, especially the way it builds in the production. I extremely love the electric guitar that becomes prominent throughout the song. Miley's vocals are emotional and strong, never wavering from what she's trying to convey. Lyrically, its about how "Hannah" regrets getting caught up in the fame and glamour of being famous, and losing touch with how she got there in the first place, which actually continues themes from the movie soundtrack, which was released just a bit before this, and I love that it wasn't just a throw away idea they had for the movie. Now, I can't find any info on what episode this was featured in, but I'm sure I remember it being in the show, so once I watch through season 3 and find the episode I'll make a post about it. (Unless someone remembers which episode it is.) Critical reception wasn't very nice towards this song, with AllMusic saying, "the only thing worse than a big star singing about how fame has damaged her is a big child star singing about how fame has damaged her." So despite my love for the lyrical content and the production, unlike the last song, I don't think I underscored this. There's just something missing, but I'm not entirely sure what. I do think y'all did it wrong though.

Again, let's start with the people who didn't like it. @DJHazey (4) was enjoying the couple songs preceding this and got annoyed: And then we had to go kill the vibe with this slog...not getting into it at all. How rude dddd. I'm sure you'll be happy. Anyways, @iheartpoptarts (5) just had a question: I guess this show must’ve had its dramatic moments, right? I hope I've answered that by now, but I will say it definitely did. Sadly, I can't seem to find the one connected to this song. @M24 (8.6) was kind of blown away: I rate it high because of the lyrics. This is too deep to be a Hannah song, oh my. Had to double check this wasn't credited to Miley. I don't know, I feel like there are a couple times where Hannah gets deep. Though, to be honest, I do feel like this should be credited to Miley. Finally, we once again have highest score @savilizabeths (10) who will probably have to recover after two blows: This is so delicate. It starts with such soft guitar and vulnerable vocals. Then the STRINGS cut in and I absolutely love it. It’s so stunning and fragile. The added electric guitar is such a beautiful, interesting touch. This one is just a really beautiful intimate moment that builds into something so powerful and emotive. Miley’s vocal performance conveys so much pain and real vulnerability and it’s really special. Yes to all of this. Thank you.

If you haven't heard it, I recommend a listen:

Plus, here's a beautiful live performance:

Wow, this rate moved on so quickly already! Sorry for not being able to comment before, I had a lot to work on.

First of all, I want to thank you @Music Is Life for your writeups! I'm enjoying them so much; I'm so thankful you took the trouble to search for the songwriters and critical reception for each song (and also for embedding the songs you've mentioned before: I listened to Selena's cover of Cruela De Vil again and it really was a bop!).

A few thoughts so far (if anyone cares):
- I still can't get into Zip A Dee Doo Dah. Heard the original and Miley's version again, but felt nothing. I did a quick Wiki search though, and found out Aly & AJ covered this one too! And honestly I love this version much more than the other two, it very much needed a rock twist.
- I've been listening non stop to the original Part of Your World. I replayed Miley's version just to see if I would hate it even more... but I'm actually getting used to it? Would've given it a 7 now (not that it could've changed anything).
- I'd be so down for a Disneymania rate. Problem is, there would be so many bad covers in it that we could all lose motivation hahaha.
- Completely ok with Que Sera being the first Hannah song out.
- Old Blue Jeans isn't good, but it wouldn't have been my second Hannah elimination... at all. "Gonna Get This" is still here you people!!
- You may be right @Music Is Life, "Love that Lets Go" is probably better than "I Learned from You". I think I simply love the latter more due to nostalgia. Might need to keep listening to HMF to be sure if I made the right choice. I'm surprised this left before "Butterfly Fly Away" though, or "Ready Set Don't Go".
- I'm bummed you all kicked out "Just A Girl". It's a beautiful song! I scored it with an 8.6, which makes it my 15th best Hannah song lol.
- Oh, and I'm more than fine with this pace of eliminations. I just might post relatively late, as I'm doing now. Hope that's ok.

Ahhhh thank you! I knew I was forgetting to put something in that write-up. Can't believe I forgot my queens. And yeah, they're version is definitely superior. @iheartpoptarts should check it out for something boppier.

See? I told y'all the cover was a grower! And yes please consider running one @pop3blow2! As for Gonna Get This...well I gave it the same score as Old Blue Jeans, and actually every Hannah song that's left so far.

I understand that. Nostalgia does funny things. And yeah, I actually do wish it had outlasted those two as well. And Just A Girl is such a random song to make your Hannah top 20. I love that! And thanks for letting me know, its perfectly fine if you need to catch up.

Also I lied. I'm not gonna be able to do a fourth one today. I have to crank out three more assignments real quick then pass out cause I'm really tired. Also, I got distracted by this cute boy I've been talking to, that I'm hoping goes somewhere. Don't worry, tomorrow I have nothing to do, so I'll get as my eliminations done as possible.

My anti-Hannah/Miley ballad self is getting into hot water again, oops! I feel bad considering how much @savilizabeths stans for them. Sorry!

That episode description about the horse named Blue Jeans, I don't know why I chuckled when you said "but in the end he stands up and is okay" like "Disney magic!" no reasons for suddenly just becoming okay again other then to have a happy ending to the episode and not upset the intended viewers.

Just a Girl was one of my lowest scores on HM3 but Ice Cream Fail is even lower and needs to skedaddle very soon, but I still have many low scores across the board.

You have extreme taste issues.
Also there was always a chance he would stand up but also a chance he'd die. It was like 50/50.

But, yeah seriously some taste issues.

Both of these songs have something 'grown up' about them which is great, but sonically, they are a bit bland.

"Love That Lets Go" could've been around a bit longer, since it's a really pleasant song and actually my favorite out of the four Billy Ray Cyrus duets (pleased to see I'm not alone). The chorus is my favorite part. Still, I gave it a 6,75 and am not really bothered by its elimination.
I think we can expect the songs with her dad to start leaving one by one now.

On a similar note, "Just a Girl" is another pleasant ballad that I'm completely okay with it leaving, since I gave it a 6,25 which is my joint lowest score on that album, along with "Ice Cream Freeze (Let's Chill)".
The build-up is lovely, but there's something uninteresting and slightly boring about it that puts me off.

And I find it shocking that @savilizabeths lost two(!) 10's and @Music Is Life none so far.
Expect the unexpected, I guess.

Gonna Get This was recorded for the fourth and final season's soundtrack, Hannah Montana Forever, and was used as the opener of the album. It was written by Niclas Molinder, Joacim Persson, Johan Alkenäs & Drew Ryan Scott, and produced by Twin and Alke. I have been dying to talk about this one, due to the episode its featured in, "Hannah's Gonna Get This." But first I need to say I lied in the Que Sera write-up, cause while I thought it was only used in one episode, its actually used at the beginning of this one, where Hannah is in the studio recording the song. Oops. The episode aired on October 03, 2010, and the only reason I mention this is cause the timing is really interesting. Before I continue, I need to say I will be talking about the plot of this episode in length, and don't want to put it in a spoiler cause it connects to the write-up as a whole. But I don't spoil anything major in the show, so feel free to read on. Anyways, the episode starts with Miley and Robby talking to their record producer about how Miley wrote 9 songs all by herself for an album, but the producer wants one more song because Taylor Swift had just written 9 songs plus a bonus track for her new album. As if we'd ever live in a world where Taylor only put 10 songs on an album, but its really funny, because the album Taylor released in 2010 is Speak Now, which there was a lot of press about how she wrote the album entirely by herself, because she wanted to prove she could do it. Also, that album would come out just 22 days after this episode aired, on October 25. What a coincidence, huh? Anyways, he needs a new song by Friday, and Miley agrees to write one. We soon find her in her room, telling Lilly she already wrote one, and sings some of it to her...to the melody of "Supergirl" from the third season soundtrack and I’m assuming Hannah’s in-universe third album. Miley does this three more times with Nobody’s Perfect, If We Were A Movie and The Best Of Both Worlds before giving up. She then tries to record Robby writing a new song for her – Barefoot Cinderella – and asks to use it for the album and pass it off as her own, but of course he says no. Soon, Lilly gets Miley to leave her room, where she’s holed herself up in for days, and takes her to the nearby pier for some sun and to get her mind off of the song. Desperately and hopelessly, Miley says “I’m never gonna get this, never gonna get this!” over the sounds of the pier (video games and rhythmic bucket tapping) and soon, this song is born. After playing it for the producer, he says he loves it but its totally wrong for Hannah. Miley, Robby and Lilly argue differently, and the producer suggests a focus group of random Hannah fans to see if more than half of them like the song. Miley agrees, but 6 of the fans don’t like the song, or the idea of the song being a Hannah song. Miley tries to tell them that her changing and growing as an artist is exciting and good, when one of the fans hugs her and says she never wants her to change and loves her just the way she is. Eventually, Miley decides to use the song, and Iyaz shows up and they record it as a duet. Now, the point I'm trying to make is...well, @pop3blow2 talks a lot about the duality of Mandy Moore between her music and her acting in his rate (that's led to some very interesting write-ups, I definitely recommend reading through it) and I've always felt like that's going on here with Miley the person, and her character. I don't know much about how the show was written, then filmed, then released but the first episode of the final season didn't air until July 11, 2010, almost a full month after the Can't Be Tamed album came out, on June 18. So is it far-fetched to think that the situation that Miley Stewart experiences with Gonna Get This is that different than what she experienced with Can't Be Tamed, the song and album? I don't think so. I mean, can you imagine what it was like when Miley went to Hollywood Records with the title track, and was like "I want this to be my lead single,"? They probably weren't very happy, and I can definitely see them being very similar to that producer and trying to convince Miley it was too different, nothing like her, it wouldn't work, the fans wouldn't want it, etc. Hell, they might have even brought up the idea of a focus group and done that, especially since the fans Miley would have had at the time are very similar to the Hannah fans in the episode, but I'm not sure if Miley would have gone for it. Obviously, the song and album got released, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Miley had to fight a little for it to happen, considering it wasn’t just a more “mature” album lyrically, but different musically than what us fans had been used to. It could have been a crazy coincidence but I think there's a chance that the writers for the show did this episode to represent that happening in Miley's life. And if not, then there's still the duality of "Hannah" wanting to grow as an artist and singer in the show happening at the same time Miley was attempting to do the same thing. Whew, I've had those thoughts inside me for a long time, so it's great to finally share them.

Now, I guess we can talk about the actual song. Gonna Get This is definitely unlike anything else in Hannah's discography, with its video game-esque electronic production, synthy handclaps, extremely auto-tuned vocals, the (very random in my opinion) feature, and the lyrics about partying and checking out/meeting up with a guy. It's the perfect song to use for the episode. The question is though, whether or not the experiment works. For most of you, it didn’t. To be honest, it used to not work for me either. I used to think the song was really grating, annoying, and exactly what I didn’t want from a Hannah song – which I know is the point. Eventually though, the absolute fun that exudes from the two of them throughout the song won me over, as well as the production. The electronic explosions and synth –laden handclaps (y’all know I love handclaps in songs!) just do it for me, especially listening to it on repeat for this write-up. That said, it’ll probably never be one of my Hannah favorites and I won’t use it very often. Though it is interesting that it was top 80 at one point, and is the first song to cross 100 points. Critical reception towards the song was quiet. I can't find any reviews that explicitly mention how they felt about the song, but AllMusic did make it one of their track picks for the soundtrack, so that must mean they liked it. Unlike most of the people here.

Lowest scorer @iheartpoptarts (2) just quotes: It’s my girl Hannah! so thanks for giving me a fun way to open this. Other lowest scorer @savilizabeths (2) will be very happy after the last couple messes: Oof, no. I really don’t like the chorus. Yeah, I think the chorus is why I can't give this a 10. It's just not as fun as the verses. @DJHazey (4.5) brings up another Disney queen: Hearing something like this just reminds me of that random song with a rap feature on one of the early Selegend's albums. Honestly this Iyaz guy is the exact antithesis of what I enjoy from this kind of featuring vocal and I usually don't mind them. This is a no thank you. (By the way, looked it up. It's "Intuition" on A Year Without Rain). That's one of my least favorite Selena songs as well. I think Iyaz is fine here, but you weren't the only one with issues cause @M24 (5) brings him up as well: Who is this guy? Totally ruined the song. But I'm not sure if the song was any good by itself anyway, doesn't sound like Hannah. Dddd you sound like the kids in the focus group in the episode. Also Iyaz is a hip-hop/reggae/R&B artist, who apparently had a number one in the UK but doesn't seem to be very popular otherwise. I've only heard one other song with him on it. Don't worry, I'll post it below. Finally, our highest scorer to submit a comment, @pop3blow2 (7.2) mixes things up: Yeah, this just never clicked for me. Reading the credits here & I see Denise Rich was a co-writer. She was a writer on Mandy’s ‘Candy’… so, yeah…… The fact that I knew I was going to mention her and your rate in this write-up, and you send this commentary…coincidences are bullshit. I’m just saying. Sadly though, Denise Rich didn't co-write this, but did have a hand in Que Sera.

Here's a pseudo-music video for the song:

The other Iyaz-featuring song I mentioned:

(This has always been one of my least favorite Demi songs dddd)
That Selena song Hazey mentions:

Even though it's a mix-up, here's Mandy's Candy:

And one of my favorite Mandy songs that has some duality themes:

(This is lowkey the best song in this write-up.)​
