Don't Forget

Don't Forget is the debut album by American pop music singer Demi Lovato. It was released on September 23, 2008 in America and April 24, 2009 in Germany. The album was released under the label Hollywood Records, with whom Lovato has been signed since 2008. The songs Get Back, La La Land and Don't Forget were released as singles.

Background

In the summer of 2007, Lovato auditioned for a role on the series Sonny Munroe (then called Mollywood) and for Camp Rock on the same day. For the Camp Rock audition, Disney's chairman of entertainment, Gary Marsh, asked Lovato to audition. The song sung was Christina Aguilera's Ain't No Other Man. Bob Cavallo, vice president of record label Hollywood Records, which is part of Disney Music Group, later said their jaws "dropped". Lovato then first signed a record deal with the Hollywood Records label in early 2008 and began working on her own debut album with the Jonas Brothers shortly after. At the time, she was just 15 years old.

Origin

Shortly after Lovato signed a record deal in the spring of 2008, the Jonas Brothers began working on songs for the album. They wrote the first songs while filming the TV movie Camp Rock. During the Jonas Brothers' When You Look Me in the Eyes Tour, they then wrote 10 songs together in one week.

Here's what Lovato had to say about the writing process with the Jonas Brothers:

Then, before traveling to Europe to open for Avril Lavigne's The-Best-Damn-Thing-Tour, the band went into the studio with Lovato and John Fields, where they recorded the songs they had written. The album took only ten and a half days to record.
