'Rebel Hearts' was recorded in August, cowritten by Kara Dioguardi, Skyler Stonestreet & CJ Baran.
'Belong' was cowritten by Mike Einziger, Toby Gad, Edwin Serrano, & Samuel J Watters.
Hilary described Belong in an interview last year:
Quote:
There’s a song called “Belong” that I really love. It sounds cheesy when I talk about it, but it’s not cheesy at all, and it’s more about just like not waiting for anything. Just going for it and not holding back. Like I said, it sounds cheesy when I talk about it, but it’s not at all.
If Rebel Hearts sounds like Madonna's Rebel Heart, then we'll talk about ripping people off. Don't act like artists haven't been using the same titles for ages now.
+ Like I said in the op, the song was recorded almost a year ago, and I doubt Hilary was paying any attention to the process of Madonna's album.
