Our Final Song Choice

We have decided on using the song 'Heart Attack' by Demi Lovato.



We decided on this song as we feel the lyrics fit well with our idea of a girly pop music video.

Here are the song's lyrics:

Puttin’ my defenses up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack

Never put my love out on the line
Never said "Yes" to the right guy
Never had trouble getting what I want
But when it comes to you, I’m never good enough

When I don’t care
I can play ‘em like a Ken doll
Won’t wash my hair
Then make 'em bounce like a basketball

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear high heels
Yes, you make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand

You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won’t let it show,
So I’m...

Puttin’ my defenses up
'Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack [3x]

Never break a sweat for the other guys
When you come around, I get paralyzed
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
I gasp for air
It feels so good, but you know it hurts

But you make me wanna act like a girl
Paint my nails and wear perfume for you
Make me so nervous
That I just can’t hold your hand

You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won’t let it show,
So I’m...

Puttin’ my defenses up
'Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack [3x]

The feelings got lost in my lungs
They’re burning, I’d rather be numb
And there’s no one else to blame (no one else)
So scared I take off and i run
I’m flying too close to the sun
And I burst into flames

You make me glow,
But I cover up
Won’t let it show,
So I’m...

Puttin’ my defenses up
‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love
If I ever did that
I think I’d have a heart attack [5x]

We have come up with some ideas to relate the lyrics and visuals;

• For the line 'I can play 'em like a Ken doll' we aim to use stop motion and an actual Ken Barbie doll. We hope to have the girl pull the Ken doll's head off, showing each stage of the process through the use of stop motion
• As this song is by a solo artist, we have decided to use a girl group made up of 4 girls, however we still want a 'main' girl that sings the whole way through. Her band members will feature in the video and assist her get ready to go out etc.
• In the beginning half of the song we will have the girls be getting ready for a nigh out and will show a range of shots including close ups and mid shots of them applying make up and putting on clothes/shoes. This will create visuals for the line 'paint my nails and wear high heels'.
