''Don't Forget'' is the debut studio album by American singer Demi Lovato. It was released on September 23, 2008 by Hollywood Records. Lovato started working on the album in September 2007, during the filming of the Disney Channel television film ''Camp Rock''. Lovato co-wrote most of the songs with the American boy band the Jonas Brothers, who produced the album alongside record producer John Fields. The album also includes Kara DioGuardi, Jason Reeves and Rooney frontman Robert Schwartzman, who collabrated from the album. ''Don't Forget'' features a power pop sound and the lyrics deal with various teen topics. The album was met with generally positive reviews from critics. Due to most of the album being produced by the Jonas Brothers, critics noted distinctive similarities between the artists. ''Don't Forget'' debuted at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was eventually certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has sold over 530,000 copies in the United States. Elsewhere, ''Don't Forget'' reached the top ten on the Canadian Albums Chart and reached the top forty in Spain and New Zealand, as well as being certified Gold in Brazil. "Get Back" was released as the lead single from the album and reached number 43 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. "La La Land" was the second single from the album. The song peaked at number 52 in the United States and inside the top 40 in Ireland and United Kingdom. In 2009, Lovato embarked on her first headlining tour, Summer Tour 2009, to promote the album along with her sophomore effort, ''Here We Go Again'' (2009). ==Background== Lovato was discovered by Disney Channel during an open call audition in her hometown of Dallas, Texas and made her debut on the short series ''As the Bell Rings'' in 2007.

For ''Camp Rock'', she submitted an audition tape and Gary Marsh, Disney's president of entertainment, asked her to sing.〔 Lovato recalled that "They kind of put me on the spot. I don't mind it. When people put me on the spot, it's kind of like, 'Hey, I'm not going to get nervous. I'm just going to do what I do.' So I did what I did." She sang Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man", and Hollywood Records senior vice president Bob Cavallo said that their "jaws just dropped".〔 The stunt resulted in Lovato receiving the lead role in ''Camp Rock'',〔 and a record deal with Hollywood Records in early 2008.〔 Lovato enlisted her ''Camp Rock'' co-stars the Jonas Brothers to work with her on the album, saying that her own songs needed "polish". She said that it was "important" to include them on her album as she "would love to have their input anytime".
