"Beat of My Heart" is a song by American actress and singer Hilary Duff from her beginning compilation album About Wanted (2005). It was written past Duff and the Dead Executives, a record production team consisting of Jason Epperson, Joel and Benji Madden. Along with the three other new songs on Most Wanted, "Beat of My Center" was crafted with the intention of having a "totally different audio" from Duff's previous material.[ane] It is an upwards-tempo new wave-inspired electropop vocal that incorporates elements of bubblegum popular in its production. Lyrically, "Beat of My Heart" tin can be interpreted in many ways. For Duff, it tells the story of a adult female "com[ing] out of her crush again" after a bad suspension-up.[one]

Following the success of previous single, "Wake Upwards", "Beat out of My Heart" was issued equally the 2nd international single from Virtually Wanted. Information technology was released in Australia past Festival Mushroom Records on December eleven, 2005, and in several European countries on March half dozen, 2006, past Angel Records. The single was a moderate commercial success. It managed to chart in four countries, reaching its highest position in Italy, where information technology peaked at number viii. In add-on, it reached the top 20 in Australia and Spain and the low-terminate of the chart in Switzerland. Critical reaction to "Vanquish of My Heart" was generally mixed, with many criticizing the song for being repetitive and childish, while others gave information technology credit for presenting an easy-to-listen-to sound.

The accompanying music video for "Vanquish of My Middle" was directed past Phil Harder. The music video, which paid homage to Bail girls, debuted a "more mature" image of Duff. Information technology emulates the title sequences of James Bond films from the 1960s to present-day, high-tech 3D designs. Duff has performed "Trounce of My Middle" live on all of her concert tours since its inception. A pre-recorded operation of the song was played during the 2006 edition of Dick Clark's New year's day's Rockin' Eve, which would later become a regular feature during future editions of the program. The song and video were parodied on the American sketch comedy serial Mad Telly. The parody satirizes Duff's thinness and Hollywood'due south obsession with body paradigm.[2]

Background and development [edit]

On May xx, 2005, MTV News reported that Hilary Duff would be releasing a new album in August, comprising previously released tracks and four new recordings.[iii] The following month, in an interview with MTV News, Duff said that she had been working with brothers Joel and Benji Madden, of the American rock band Good Charlotte, and Jason Epperson (together known nether the production name the Expressionless Executives) to write and produce new songs for the compilation. She said that " ... they're 3 of my favorite songs I've ever done. ... It was really fun being in the studio with them."[iv] Described by Duff as the kickoff fourth dimension when "all the responsibility was on [her]", she went into the recording studio without the guidance of her record label or management.[v]

According to Duff, she did not tell anyone at her record label that she was working with the Expressionless Executives.[1] Joel, whom Duff had been dating at the time, was aware that she needed new material for a compilation album, and knew that she wanted a "totally different sound".[ane] Together, the Dead Executives went into the recording studio and worked on new music for Duff, before bringing her into the studio to collectively work on them.[one] Duff described working with them as pleasant, and the music as a new milestone in her career, stating that working with "people you're close with makes a globe of difference when you lot're recording and being creative."[1] At the same fourth dimension, Duff was also nervous near how her fans would react to the new music.[5] Duff recorded four tracks for the album, iii of which were co-written and produced with the Expressionless Executives.[half dozen]

For Duff, who stated that the song tin can be interpreted in many means, "Trounce of My Heart" tells the story of a heterosexual relationship, in which the woman was in love with the man, only he was non "every bit into her as she was him".[seven] Later on the couple break-up, she found herself in a place where she "wasn't herself".[7] She then "comes out of her shell again", which Duff described as: "Coming out again, dancing again, smiling again, having fun and seeing everything in a brighter light."[seven] The Dead Executives were instrumental in the instrumentation of "Beat out of My Heart", performing on the bass and guitars.[7] They also mixed and engineered the song; the latter was also conducted by Todd Parker and Grant Conway and assisted by Allan Hessler.[7] Information technology was mixed and recorded at the Foxy Studio in Los Angeles, California.[7] The drums featured on the track was performed by Dean Butterworth while Monique Powell and The Fruit performed bankroll vocals.[7] The song was then mastered by Joe Gastwirt.[7]

It'south like spilling ramen on a Vivenne Westwood evening gown."[8] A reviewer from CBBC Newsround commented that the vocal is and then repetitive that you lot will experience similar "you've listened to it xx times later on just ane play".[12] The reviewer praised the heartbeat present on the rail, writing that it "make information technology a bit of a foot-tapper", but deemed the lyrics to be "meaningless".[12] The reviewer concluded that: "You'll find yourself humming it but will be hard pushed to remember what on earth she was singing virtually!"[12] Spence D. of IGN wrote that "Beat of My Eye" does non try for subtlety as information technology utilizes the "much overused heartbeat" for the "foundation rhythm" of the song.[11]
