when Lovato performed them both with choir and band for Vevo. It’s hard to beat the gospel organ sound behind the chorus “Oh tell me you love me / I need someone / On days like this I do / On days like this.” By the bridge, Lovato is practically giving a sermon—one I am happy to be seated for, as I watch their fervor in the old video.
Lovato is joined by Slash for “Sorry Not Sorry,” and I really like this sped-up rock version. Robert Joffredthat “this song makes a ton of cool harmonic choices.” The F# to A# to B transition is my favorite part of the chord progression, where the guitars hit as Lovato sings “Baby I’m sorry .” I was initially surprised to hear a metal scream on the formerly spoken “Wait a minute!” The bridge is an exhilarating race to Slash’s masterful solo, which should have gone on for many more measures.
“Heart Attack” also clips along at a fast pace, but the shift in tempo between sections feels more pronounced and gives the effect of a racing heart. The production’s fast trap beats sound almost like someone rapidly shuffling a deck of cards. Verse two, perhaps, takes on another meaning in light of Lovato’s life over the years: “And every time I try to be myself / It comes out wrong, like a cry for help / It’s just not fair / Pain’s more trouble than love is worth.
“Give Your Heart a Break” is a powerful antithesis to “Heart Attack.” Instead of Lovato avoiding falling in love, it’s the love interest of the song who is hesitant. Bert McCracken of The Used matches the emotional, candid tenor of Lovato’s voice in his own way.
