Untitled

Here We Go Again is the second studio album from American pop rock singer Demi Lovato. It was released on July 21, 2009 under Hollywood Records.[8][9] It debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 108,000 copies in its first week.[10]

Background

Lovato stated that the new album is "going to have a different sound." In contrast to the rock influences of her debut album, Don't Forget, this album will incorporate more "John Mayer-ish type of songs".[11] Demi also expressed that her previous album had more of a Jonas Brothers sound, as they helped co-write it. She wanted to make this album more her.[12]

She has been working with musical inspirations John Mayer, Jon McLaughlin, and William Beckett.[13][14] Lovato said she would be performing her new music on her Summer Tour.[13]

Critical reception

Critical reception for the album was positive. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic noted that the album was not as much fun as Lovato's previous album, Don't Forget, but he praised "Here We Go Again," "Solo," "Remember December," and "So Far So Great" as high points, for being "ideally matched to Lovato's adolescent energy and spirit, which remain her most appealing qualities."[3] Chicago Tribune also gave the album five stars, saying "No sophomore slump for these young artists". Kerri Mason of Billboard praised the album for not relying heavily on production compared to other Disney Channel artists and called Lovato "a natural talent who could really take flight after outgrowing Disney."[4] Simon Vozick-Levinson of Entertainment Weekly praised the more rock-oriented tracks such as "Got Dynamite," calling them suggestions of "a direction that might set her apart in years to come."[2]

Singles

"Here We Go Again" is the first single from the album. It was released as a digital download on June 23, 2009. The song debuted at #15 on the Billboard Charts.

"Gift Of A Friend" is a promo single from the album and was released on September 8, 2009 to promote Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure film, as well as the album. The music video features Tinkerbell and various characters from that movie.

Promotion

Radio Disney premiered songs from the album daily starting on July 16. This led up to the album premiere on Saturday, July 18 with a rebroadcast the next day.[15]

Alterations

Earlier versions of the track listing were very different.[17] From the original track listing, "Everything You're Not" was removed and two other tracks existed titled "For the Love of a Daughter" and "Shut Up & Love Me".[17] The current track listing has some tracks in different order, "For the Love of a Daughter" and "Shut Up & Love Me" removed, and "Everything You're Not" added to the standard edition.

When asked about the deletion of "For the Love of a Daughter", a track written about Lovato's relationship with her estranged father, she said, "When I took a step back I realized I wouldn't like those subjects being talked about in somebody else's home, with a seven-year-old and their mom."[18]

Another track titled "Love Is the Answer" which was written by John Mayer was also left off both versions of the album for unknown reasons.[19]
