What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this song from Lovato's upcoming album is about a girl trying to convince a former boyfriend to "get back" together with her. The lyrics are simple and not overtly sexual, but Lovato does make her vocals seductive at times as she tries to lure this former beau back. Kissing and "wanting" someone are repeated topics in the song.

Positive messages: Lovato sings about getting a former boyfriend to take her back.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Since the song is all about rekindling a romance, some of the lyrics discuss kissing and desire in a very general way. "Oh, kiss me like you mean it/like you miss me/'cause I know that you do," "Every time I see you it gets more and more intense," and "You were the only one I wanted/and you were the first one I fell for."
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: Demi Lovato is a part of the newest wave of Disney teen pop stars. She co-starred with them in the Disney TV movie Camp Rock.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about Lovato's image. She's continually compared to Miley Cyrus and is touted as the next big thing in tween pop music. Do you thing Cyrus and Lovato are similar? In what ways are they different? Do you think the two signers are promoted by Disney in the same way? How important has the Disney Channel become in promoting and marketing their teen artists?

What's the story?

What's the story?
Watch out: "GET BACK," the first single off Demi Lovato's debut album, is loud and in charge. It debuts to much buzz, with Lovato being compared to Miley Cyrus ever since her breakout performance in Disney's Camp Rock alongside the Jonas Brothers. The JoBros helped to produce and write this song about winning a boyfriend back, and their trademark rock guitar riffs and up-tempo vocals are well represented.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Get Back begins with a guitar intro straight out of a Van Halen album. Lovato then jumps right into rocking her lyrics, with a little bit of sultry sass. The single has the retro '80s rock pop sound that's currently being made popular by the Jonas Brothers on their own albums. Compared to many of Lovato's songs which she wrote herself, "Get Back" is lighter and definitely radio-friendly. Her vocals are clear and well executed while the thunderous chorus is dance-inspiring. Overall, this is a fun introduction to a promising Disney star.

Older kids will understand the lyrics
The song is fine for those under 10, but they probably wouldn't understand it. So the ideal age is 10/11+ though there's nothing wrong with it.

I know she uses a persuasive voice, BUT shes a sixteen year old girl-maybe older- just trying to express herself.
