Heart Attack


"Heart Attack" is the lead single from Demi Lovato's fourth studio album, Demi, released in 2013. The electropop track uses cardiac motifs as a metaphor for the fear of falling in love, and received critical praise for its lyrics and vocal performance. For electric guitar players, the song offers an opportunity to explore clean pop-rock tones, dynamic builds, and rhythm work that bridges pop production with guitar-driven arrangements.

  • The song was co-written by six collaborators, including Lovato herself and producers Mitch Allan and Jason Evigan.
  • "Heart Attack" served as the lead single for Demi Lovato's fourth studio album, setting the tone for her pop-rock direction.
  • The track uses cardiac and heartbeat imagery throughout its lyrics to symbolize vulnerability and the anxiety of romantic feelings.
