Untitled

Don't Forget is the first studio album of singer-songwriter Demi Lovato. It was released on September 23, 2008 in the United States by Hollywood Records, and it debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. The album was released in the UK in April 2009 under Fascination Records.[2]

Background

Lovato has said that she writes music from the heart and from experiences she's had. She told M Magazine: "I'm more of a writer whose stuff wouldn't make it on a Disney album. So I came to the Jonas Brothers and I was like, 'Ummmm ... I need help writing catchy stuff just because, well, my target audience isn't [into] metal music."[3] She also said about the Jonas Brothers' contribution, "My songs needed a polish, which is where the Jonas Brothers came in - and it all began on Camp Rock".[4] Lovato stated in an interview that the vocals for the album were recorded in ten and a half days.[5]
