Doesn't Demi Lovato have a song in her album that talks about her life? She must have something similar to that

Can I choose a song that was originally on the album, but then got cut at last minute???
"Lovato penned a song called "For the Love of a Daughter" with The Academy Is... lead singer William Beckett about her relationship with her estranged father, but the subject was deemed too intense for her young audience, and it was removed from the album's track listing. The song was later passed on to her third "

Choose the album, then a song 2 (VOTE - Round 10)
Hello ATRL!
Welcome to...
We had such a great first season with a lot of competition and amazing albums and since many of you showed interest on a second season here we are!
I'll be, once again, your host and one of the judges for the competition!
For those who already know the game, great! For those who are not familiarized with it, let me give you a little introduction!
"Choose the album, then a song", the name says it all. You'll have to pick an album and stick with it during the entire game, until you get kicked out. Each round there will be a different theme, where you will have to pick the most adequated song of the album to play. Let me give you an example!

CHALLENGE 1: Love Song
Player 1 picks a song from 21, it can be (for example), Someone Like You // Player 2 picks a song from Born This Way, it might be You and I.
|
All the players will choose a song from the album for each round and hope not to get eliminated. After that the public and the judges will vote and someone will be eliminated and the game will go on.
There is some things you must pay attention to: 1. You can NOT use the same song twice in a row, you have to wait three rounds until you can use it again;
2. You can ONLY use the same song THREE TIMES;
3. If you fail the deadline, I will submit a random song for you from that album. If you miss the deadline three times, you're eliminated;
4. The JUDGES can not be biased, if you detect any unfair move from a judge, report it to me I'll analyze the case;
-------------------------
I hope you are ready to slay! Because this is the TOP 10!

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Welcome to the tenth challenge.
You had to PM me that song that could be called as a autobiography or that was more personal to the singer from the album you're representing, and now that everyone has sent their submission, let's vote!
THE ENTRIES
1. Strangergab - Adele - 21: Take It All
Quote:
Well, I chose this song because I think it's the most personal song of Adele in "21". where a small autobiography states that person asking it if all you did was right, tells a little story of her life, relatively of her love, as he usually does Adele. I will call this song the autobiography by the love of her life, is a song with feeling lonely but she describes that moment where you're left with nothing and relatively put everything in this case your love. Besides telling us that everything she is, everything that represents this song and everything she did was for him. This woman is able to express in song everything our heart thinks, all that we have lived more than a biography of her and our autobiography.
|
2. BlazingLovatic - Demi Lovato - Here We Go Again: World Of Chances
Quote:
The song is about a relationship where she gives the guy chance after chance, to prove himself, but he fails her everytime. (It's about Joe Jonas)
|
3. Luigi - Christina Aguilera - Stripped: I'm OK
Quote:
I'm OK is a pretty obvious choice this round. I'm OK talks about Christina's nightmare of a childhood. She talks about how her father abused her and her mother.
In the first verse, she sings as if she's telling a story. A story about a young girl who lived in a chaotic home. After that, she sings in first person, singing on how she's affected by her childhood.
|
4. potentbreakupsong - P!nk - M!ssundaztood: Family Portrait
Quote:
This song is about Pink's emotional struggle when her parents divorced, written from her perspective at that young age. She felt like it was her fault and hoped that if she behaved better, it would make her parents stay together. Obviously it didn't, which showed how at the time she had trouble completely coming to terms with the situation. She wanted things to be like the way they looked in her family portrait, a happy and normal family environment. Even though it is a personal song for Pink, the feelings of sadness, urgency, and frustration expressed in the song can apply to any child going through a parental divorce.
|
5. Bahjat - Taylor Swift - Fearless: The Best Day
Quote:
In this song Taylor takes us on a trip, back to her first memories, back to not knowing why the leaves fall, back when life was all about happiness.
She starts singing about when she was five, then she starts singing about being 13 and how she was bullied then it goes on to realizing why leaves fall and realizing that life isn't gonna stay the same, and unfortunately everything ends.
This song talks about her family and how much she loves them, it hits me everytime I listen to this song, I feel like I haven't done enough to thank my family for being there for me and I think that Taylor has done an amazing job writing it, she captured the image of growing up in the best way possible, leaving the listener with flashbacks and tears in their eyes.
I hope you enjoy it!

6. theREALslimSHADY - Kelly Clarkson - All I Ever Wanted: I Do Not Hook Up
Quote:
there isnt really an autobiographical song in the album, but in this song Kelly does describe herself! unconventionally, this rather starts by her describing how the guy she likes is..
Slow motion, sparks, You've caught that chill.. Now don't deny it
But boys will be boys!! Oh, yes, they will..
They don't wanna define it
whenever she is in a relationship, the boy doesnt wanna define it, they just want to be with her and have a sexy thrilling relationship! but then she tells
Just give up the game and get into me
If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet
and thats when she, fed up with the shallowness of her past relationship goes off!! she is not the kind of girl who hooks up ith a bunch of guys and then ditches them when the sex is over... she likes to take it slow.
off the song, before that album release, during its composition she had been through three quick relationships... she had talked about that in My December! and at the time of AIEW media starting publishing reports like "kelly cant keep her man" "kelly clarkson not good at relationships" etc... so she was really fed up with that and she wrote this song(also Mr. Know It All in Stronger), in the middle of a breakup/i want you back album!
i hope you get my point... the song doesnt look like an introspective song, but it is.

7. borntodie - Lana Del Rey - Born To Die: This Is What Makes Us Girls (song starts at 00:32)
Quote:
this song is about Lana's youth/teenage years, she tells about the friends she had back then and the crazy things they did: they were always breaking rules, partying, drinking. eventually, she overdid it and ended up being sent to a boarding school by her parents, which is what the last verse refers to.
she talks about friendship as well, that she and her friends stuck together in their adventures but put their love interests before each other when it came down to it.
|
8. ethan - Shania Twain - Come On Over: You've Got A Way
Quote:
You've Got A Way is a romantic ballad written solely by Shania and her husband, Robert. Shania originally began writing this song in dedication to her husband for their 5th wedding anniversary. After performing it for him, according to Shania, he was in tears and said that they had to put it on her album. They did some re-writing and added more instruments to create the final version heard above. This song is all about being deeply in love with every part of the person you're with, which is exactly what Shania was going through during that period. The lyrics really speak for themselves!
|
9. Mickey - Evanescence - Fallen: Farther Away
Quote:
In the lyrics, Amy says that she's become "a thief a *****, and a liar". The song is about how she has become someone unsatisfied with her identity, and is reaching out and trying to become someone else, which is pretty autobiographical.
