What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this single follows the classic Carrie Underwood pattern: no offensive language, sex, substance use, or other adult content of any kind. Although the tune covers romantic-relationship ground -- this time finding her wishing she could erase the memory of a failed relationship -- Underwood describes her heartache in very innocuous terms.

Positive messages: While the message is a bit on the bitter side, it's still an overall positive one about not putting up with poor treatment in a relationship.
Positive role models: Carrie Underwood has managed to become a huge star while maintaining a super-clean lifestyle.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
  • Families can talk about why wishing you could erase the past isn't always the healthiest reaction to a break-up. Have you ever had a relationship that ended, but you still remember some of the good times?
  • Discuss Underwood's career. How did she become the most successful AI alum? Was it her talent, or making good choices? Or perhaps both?

What's the story?

What's the story?
"UNDO IT" is the latest single off the smash-hit album Play On by Carrie Underwood -- the former American Idol who took the show by storm with her powerhouse vocals and sweet country way. Like most of Underwood's music, the tune covers romantic-relationship ground -- this time finding her wishing she could erase the memory of a failed relationship. Though it's a tough topic, Underwood avoids using graphic language or adult references, choosing instead to describe her heartache in very innocuous terms. For example: "You had my heart, now I want it back / I'm starting to see everything you lack / Boy you blew it, you put me through it, I wanna undo it."

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

With a voice like hers, no Carrie Underwood song could ever suffer from bad vocals. That said, "Undo It" is another Underwood tune with rock-solid singing. The super-catchy hook straddles the line between new country and pop, combining some power synthesizer and a little bit of fiddle.

Great, Clean Music
I personally love Carrie Underwood, she always has very good, clean music. You should be at least 8 years old, though, to listen to it because yes, it is about having a positive attitude after a bad relationship - and some younger children under 8 don't know much about relationships.

Iffy...
The song is pretty iffy. It's very catchy, but it has a lot of negativity toward the other person. It's not a BAD song, but it has an iffy message.

It's a little bit edgy... I don't really like the bitterness, I think kids should be taught not to be bitter. Kids should be taught to forgive people that hurt them.

Carrie Underwood
I do NOT adree with 'Clarence Bean'.All of Carrie Underwoods songs are so clean, please parents, kids, teens, take my advice. I listened to her from a young age, the first song was jesus take the wheel. unlike alot of other stars that get way too MUCH money, and go crazy, like MIley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood has not, and remember, when you think of music for kids, think of Carrie Underwood.

I think this song is very good. Carrie Underwod is a very positive role model because even though she has became a huge star but has managed to keep it clean and gets her publicity the right way, earning it by making music, etc.

very good for kids
It's a very catchy song with nothing you would think would be inappropriate for young kids.All of Carrie Underwood's songs are good and nothing bad in them. She's a very good role model. The song is short and has a bit of repitition in it. But the vocals are great and the lyrics are okay. It's good song overall.

Catchy
I like this song; it's catchy, but I don't love it. But I think Carrie Underwood is a great singer. This song is about wishing that you weren't in a bad relationship, so the lyrics are kind of bitter.

Very Expressive
This song is really catchy; no doubt about it. It's about a girl's emoctions about a break up going from sad to mad and bitter. She's also kinda blaming herself for ever being with the guy and that she should've known that he wasn't the right one for her and he was a jerk. This song shows kids that love isn't always happy, it can really break someone's heart and cause them to do things they would normally do or have really strong feelings. In this song, Carrie is saying she just wishes she could "Undo it" meaning that she wishes she could change things so she wouldn't have ever been in a relashinship with the guy. Overall, this song is squeaky clean, but kids might not get the message. They might just think of this song as a groovy dancy kinda song. But that's okay, cause there is no bad content.
