"Who Owns My Heart"
Song
B-side"Forgiveness and Love"

"Who Owns My Heart" is a song performed by American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus. The song was written by Cyrus, Antonina Armato, Tim James, and Devrim Karaoglu and produced by Armato and James. It was released on October 22, 2010 by Hollywood Records, in Australia, and exclusively to European countries on October 26, 2010, as the second and final single from Cyrus' third studio album, Can't Be Tamed. The writing group composed the track about the feelings a club's environment can lead one to believe. "Who Owns My Heart" is musically club-oriented and driven by synths. Lyrically, the song questions speaks of meeting a potential love interest at a club.

"Who Owns My Heart" has garnered mixed reception from contemporary critics. Some critics argued it was dull and faceless, while other deemed it one of the best tracks on Can't Be Tamed. The song charted at number 24 on the German Singles Chart. A corresponding music video for "Who Owns My Heart" was directed by Robert Hales. It follows Cyrus throughout preparing herself for, arriving, and dancing at a mansion party. The video received criticism from the Parents Television Council (PTC) for its sexual elements. Cyrus will promote the song with a forthcoming promotional tour in Europe.

Background

The song was written by Cyrus in collaboration with Antonina Armato, Tim James, and Devrim Karaoglu. Cyrus described it as a "total dance track" with a cool concept. "Who Owns My Heart" was written about the feelings a club's environment can lead one to believe.[1] Cyrus depicted the club scene to be very sexy, which she thought was primarily composed by the music playing and intense lighting, and thought that it might trigger fake emotions with the person one is dancing with. She stated, "If you're out, dancing at a club, the way the whole vibe is [...] Do you actually like the person you're dancing with or is just the whole ambiance of what's going on?"[1] A digital download was released on October 22, 2010 in Australia.[2] "Who Owns My Heart" was released as a Europe only single, to be released on October 26, 2010 as a CD single.[3][4]

Composition

"Who Owns My Heart" is a electropop song with a length of three minutes and forty-four seconds.[5] It is an uptempo and predominantly club-oriented dance-pop number that is inspired by 1980s music, with a tempo of 138 beats per minute, and a key of A minor, much like one of her former singles, "See You Again".[6] Gliding along a peppy beat,[7] "Who Owns My Heart" is heavy in rubbery and bubbling disco synths[6][8] Keyboard riffss also drive the song's instrumentation.[9] Lyrically, "Who Owns My Heart" speaks of the thrill of meeting a potential love interest on the dance floor.[10] Verses and the bridge describe the setting using comparisons to numerous things, including tsunamis and rodeos.[11] The song's refrains proceed to question, "Who owns my heart? Is it love or is it art?"[12]

Critical reception

Bill Lamb of About.com thought that, despite its beat, the overall sound of "Who Owns My Heart" is faceless and dull.[7] Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly stated, "This song is a pulsy, possibly club-ready jam that deserves single status."[13] Heather Phares of Allmusic used "Who Owns My Heart" as an example of, according to her, a recurring problem on Can't Be Tamed: "too often, Cyrus equates grown-up with joyless".[5] Alexis Petridis of the United Kingdom magazine The Guardian felt the song was a gamely attempt at Lady Gaga. He said the chorus invites the answer: "probably that creepy bloke from the Disney Channel who went on about violating your godliness."[12] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters also found an alternate answer to the song's chorus. "It’s commerce that owns your heart, Miley, and it always has been", he wrote.[14] Mikael Wood of Billboard compared "Who Owns My Heart" to 2010 singles released by the Black Eyed Peas.[15] Nick Levine of Digital Spy said it was a post-GaGa Hi-NRG track that was inclined to the generic. However, he said that lyrical references were a large reminder that Cyrus sung the track.[11] Robert Copsey, another editor from Digital Spy while reviewing the single, rated it with 3 stars (out of 5) and call it "a pulsating bassline and fizzy pop beats that hark back to the still formidable 'See You Again'. If it's boys and parties that are to blame, then we'll reluctantly forgive her on this occasion".[16] "Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic deemed "Who Owns My Heart" to be one of the best tracks from Can't Be Tamed, despite containing a "cheesy ABBA-worthy chorus".[8] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times also perceived the song to be "in the vein of Cascada" and one the most "exciting" on Can't Be Tamed. He said it was a sound that "Ms. Cyrus hasn’t previously shown any affinity for and may never again. Still, it’s a timely and sharp sound."[6]

Chart performance

"Who Owns My Heart" made its highest debut in Germany, one of the biggest music markets, where it debuted at no. 24.[17] It has also charted at no. 35 in Austria and Slovakia.[18][19] It debuted at number 33 on the Belgian Tip Singles Chart (Flanders) on the week ending October 16, 2010. The following week, the song ascended to number eighteen and, then, jumped to number nine. It then peaked at number two.[20] In the Romanian Top 100, the song debuted at no. 88 and the next week it had climbed 39 positions, toward no. 49. A few weeks later, it peaked at number 36, becoming Cyrus' first top forty in that country.[21] The song debuted and peaked at no. 76 on the European Hot 100.[22]

Music video

The music video for "Who Owns My Heart" was directed by Robert Hales, who previously directed the video for "Can't Be Tamed", and filmed on August 6 and 7, 2010 in Detroit, Michigan.[23] The video commences Cyrus asleep, blindfolded on a mattress in a bedroom. She awakens and writhes on the mattress. Following, Cyrus proceeds to a bathroom, her attire is composed of a white tank top, white boy shorts, a fishnet hair wrap, rollers, and heavy metal jewelry. While in the bathroom scenes, Cyrus sings as she sits on the edge on a bathtub and prepares herself for an upcoming party. With the arrival of the song's refrains, Cyrus appears writhing in the backseat of a limousine, costumed in a low-cut gold halter top, black hots pants, a black jacket with shoulder pads, and big hair. Once arrived at the mansion party, she is first seen dancing atop a big, wooden table. In the continuation of the video, Cyrus dances with multiple people on the dance floor. Cut-scenes feature Cyrus in all prior scenes or dancing with others in the mansion's study. The video concludes with Cyrus back in her bedroom, once again waking up.

The video for "Who Owns My Heart" was premiered in MSN Spain on October 7, 2010.[24] Jocelyn Vena of MTV News said, "There comes a time in every pop princess' career when she must throw a sexy dance party and proclaim her womanhood. Back in 2001 Britney Spears did as much in 'I'm a Slave 4 U,' and this week, Miley Cyrus is doing the same in the video for her club-ready track 'Who Owns My Heart.'"[25] Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly assumed the theme of the video were the divergent hairstyles, but acclaimed the video for its fun.[13] Stransky said the sultry aspect of the video added to its frothy, "thumpa-thumpa deliciousness".[13] Edith Zimmerman of New York magazine viewed it as "awkward".[26] Megan Vick of Billboard thought the video followed the same steps as the video for "Can't Be Tamed" — dark lighting, lots of bare Cyrus parts and writhing around on flat surfaces. Vick recalled Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" video when seeing the bathroom scene and viewed the ending as a relief.[27] Tim Winter, president of the Parents Television Council (PTC), criticized the video for its suggestiveness and sexual elements.[28] Winter continued, "It is unfortunate that she would participate in such a sexualized video like this one. It sends messages to her fanbase that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fanbase so rapidly."[28]

The video has received over 8 million views from Youtube.[29][30]

Live performances

Cyrus first performed "Who Owns My Heart" at a concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, California, which was streamed across over thirty websites owned by MTV Networks.[31][32] Dressed in a cut-out leotard that and black, leather pants, Cyrus single-handedly roamed throughout the stage to perform the song.[33] Cyrus will embark on a European promotional tour for the single on October 2010.[34] Cyrus performed "Who Owns My Heart" at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards at the Caja Mágica in Madrid on November 7, following a performance of the song on the German television show, Wetten, dass..? a day earlier.
