What parents need to know

Parents need to know that though this song includes nothing in the way of graphic language or mature themes, it's not an overwhelmingly positive tune, either, chronicling the back-and-forth of a difficult relationship that has generated many painful feelings.

Positive messages: Song discusses the ambivalence you feel after breaking up with someone.

What's the story?

What's the story?

This is the first track off the second album (which shares the same name as the song) from Demi Lovato, star of Camp Rock and Sonny with a Chance. It's a fitting song title, since the tune covers the same love-sick territory as so many of the tracks on Lovato's debut record, Don't Forget. Here, we find the young star describing how she can't let go of the object of her affections -- even though she knows the guy is no good for her: "You only hear half of what I say / And you're always showing up late / And I know that I should say goodbye / But it's no use -- can't be with or without you."

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

In a refreshing change of pace from most of today's synth-pop songs, this single starts off with a distinctive guitar hook that catches your attention. Unfortunately, that hook gets overpowered soon enough by the power-percussion and heavy production that characterize much of the music from Lovato's contemporaries. Still, the young singer puts in a fine vocal performance that will likely shove this single to the top of the charts for at least a few weeks.

Good song, nice change of pace for Disney music
This is a good song. It grows on you quickly, and is a refreshing difference from Disney's typical cookie-cutter pop artists.

 
great song!
Here we go again is now one of my favorite songs. I'm not Demi's biggest fan, but I think this song is one of her better ones. Great for tweens and teens!

Good song 4 tweens
The song is all about a relationship, which is kinda for older kids. But I think that it is fine for kids 10 and up, for there is really no adult content just dating problems. It has a happy ending, besides.

Good song
It's a nice, but not great. Demi's a really good singer, but some of the music is just okay. There are no concerns here except that the song is about a relationship a girl knows that she shouldn't be in, but some part of her wants him. But I don't think kids'll pick up on the messages.

LOVE IT
a lot of songs are about how here botfriend lied to her or how she felt good after breaking up with him or how he started to love another girl when he was still dating her. Is this really what your younger kids listening to?????????????? but for older kids that are eatleast 9 it's probably ok. I love this alblum!

Shes a great role model but . . .
I dont like this song but it's clean. however i dont think that young kids should be listening to songs about relationships. demi is a great role model for children and her songs are great but i think that her songs are only appropiate for kids ages 8 and up.

one CSM review i dont agree with
I love Demi Lovato. Shes very pretty, a great role model, and an average girl who happened to be talented enough to land a part in Disney's group of stars. This song is certainly appropriate for young ages...8 or 9! I'm almost 12 and this song is very appropriate compared to some things that kids my age are being exposed to. Looking forward to buying Demi's sophomore album!!!

great for ages 7- 96 all around audience
it's great and you have to remember what theyre listening to isn't going to affect them as much as you do. their enviorment counts. i mean it's defineatly something young fans of her ages 8 or even 7. just give them some freedom. and it's great for older kids 12-16 going thru some break ups but to kids it's just their fav song. and dall adults have a kid in them so it might even please them too!
