He/Him
This one put up a strong fight....
Everyone who had something to say at least liked the song, so yay positivity! Our lowest scored commentary comes from @Entropy (7) who describes me to a T: Fun. Catchy. Simple. Basic. Me likey Oh wait, you meant the song. Oh well, it works for that too. On to @M24 (8) who's here for it, but to a lesser extent: I like it. But doesn't reach the other highs in the movie album. That's fair I guess. Next up we have @iheartpoptarts (8) who recognizes country talent: Probably the best country-ish one I’ve heard so far. It’s a bit early Taylor Swift in a way. That's probably the Hillary influence you hear. Ha power! Going over to @DJHazey (8.5) who found another grower: Hmm, seems like I judged this one too quickly back when I first heard it, because the end of the chorus slays a little. "Don't give me, that face..." leading into the fast-lyrics is crazy good. Enough that I'm adding it. Yeah, that part of the chorus is perfect. Finally we have @savilizabeths (10) who yells and gives us a simple command: That underrated bop! Appreciate it, cowards! I'd say top 40 is pretty well-appreciated, wouldn't you?

Don't Walk Away was written by Miley, John Shanks and Hillary Lindsey, and I assume produced by John (and Hillary?) but Wikipedia doesn't say, and I don't have the soundtrack on me right now, for inclusion on the Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack. I talk about John all the time, so Hillary! She's a very well-known country songwriter, who's got a plethora of credits with Queen Carrie Underwood, and has worked with Rascal Flatts, Michelle Branch, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and even a couple more surprising artists like Lady Gaga, BoA and Halestorm. This song is a bopping, sassy, confident pop-rock with country influences song about how Miley is determined to get this guy to pay attention and stop ignoring her, certain she's going to make him hers. Apparently it was originally meant for Breakout, hence the co-write, and I guess it kind of makes sense but Wikipedia didn't link a source for it, and I'm not sold on that because John and Hillary didn't work on any songs that actually made the album. So I don't think it actually was. I think it's extremely likely that Miley was going to writing sessions with John, especially since she was working with him on The Time Of Our Lives EP, and this song came out of those sessions and they were like "Hey, this could work for the Hannah movie soundtrack." It also doesn't fit the main lyrical narrative of Breakout, cause it's about her pursuing a guy, not getting over/breaking up with one. So yeah, I think it was written in 2009, maybe even speciifcally for the soundtrack. Anyways, I've always loved this song, ever since it was first played in the movie. It's not a particularly important scene so no spoiler here, but what happens is it's the first morning after they get to Tennesse, and Miley is determined to act as "farm-girl" as possible to save Hannah, so she goes out to the barn to get some eggs for breakfast, and lots of shenanigans with the chickens ensue while the song plays. From the second I heard it I was like "Sassy BOP" and that opinion hasn't changed. Miley's knack for melody comes through in this song as well, cause it constantly gets stuck in my head, maybe even more then every other song on the album, except the two we have left. I think my favorite part might be the pre-choruses using that sassy melody and the shouted, backing "Hey" to launch into the chorus, which is repeated throughout. Oooo but the middle-8 is great too, especially her voice! And the final chorus goes AWF...yeah I love this. It's a great song, and thanks to the numerous 7s and 8s, and no super low score, it did a lot better here then I was expecting, so I'm really happy with this placement. Critics-wise, About.com compared the song to Kelly's music (fair) and AllMusic praised almost all of the solo Miley songs, and compared them to the "Shania Twain-lite" feel of Breakout (also fair).

Sassily bop along with me:
And here's some Hillary Lindsey classics for you:
(It was really hard picking just one Carrie song for this, but luckily Hillary will pop up later so you'll get more.)
(God Lzzy always sounds so good. Always loved this song. A Halestorm rate really needs to happen.)
(Whew, a fucking classic and one of her best songs)
(One of Gaga's best songs as well, fight me)
