Why We Rated This on for Ages 8 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    One line hints at some type of high school fight- "There's a mark above your eye, you got it in July, fighting for your sister's reputation."
  • Sex:

    There's not even much flirtation happening on this song and the singers only go so far as to sing about wanting to "know you" or "find out what you know." In effect, the song could be about friendship as well as romance.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The song debuted on Radio Disney and was featured in an on-air duet with the pair on the Hannah Montana television show.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About "I Wanna Know You" (CD single)

Parents need to know this is an ultra-safe song that's as much about friendship as it is about boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. The lyrics imply very little sexuality or romantic interest. One line about a teenage fight could give parents pause, but the fight it refers to is about standing up for a sibling.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about pop stars, TV shows and record labels working together to capitalize off of each other. Do you think Miley Cyrus stays popular because she teams up with stars that tweens admire? What about David Archuleta -- why do you think he chose to appear on Hannah Montana? Do you think the two artists might gain new fans from this pair-up?
