(2012), which is also one of the lyrics of the song ("Hello my name is...()...Nice to meet you"). It premiered on August 3, 2012 and was released as a digital download on August 7, 2012. The song received positive reviews from music critics, praising the song's unique sound and also Mendler's vocals, which have been compared to Carly Rae Jepsen and Demi Lovato. The song became a modest hit on North America where it reached number 49 at the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and number 43 in Canada. The song performed better overseas, where it became an international hit. It reached top forty in over twelve countries, and peaked inside the top ten in Belgium, Romania, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom making it her first top ten hit. The song was certified gold in Norway, and platinum in New Zealand, United States and Canada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=US certifications: BridgitMendler )〕 The chorus is based on the interpolation of the song "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" by the Delfonics. The music video was directed by Philip Andelman and it filmed at multiple locations in Los Angeles, California.〔 The official music video for the single premiered on Disney Channel on August 10, 2012. It shows the course of a scavenger hunt from day to evening, as items are checked off a list. ==Writing and composition== In an interview with Kidzworld Media about what the song is about, Mendler said: "It’s a fun song about a girl who is feeling like she has been the wallflower her whole life and she wants to go out there and take charge. It has the romantic element of her going for the guy rather than waiting for the world to come to her. I wrote it with some great writers and producers. We wrote most of the album together". Mendler has spoken again, then, over the song: I’m thrilled to finally share my songs with the world. I wanted to write something that was empowering for girls. I consider myself to have been that girl sitting on the curb waiting for the world to notice". Mendler co-wrote the song with Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou and Evan "Kidd" Bogart. Kiriakou also co-produced it with Andrew Goldstein. The chorus is based on the 1996 song "Ready or Not" by the American hip hop group the Fugees. The song is an up-tempo pop track with a strong undercurrent of soul.〔 According to ''Popdust'', they say that "every detail is where it should be, from the multi-tracked vocals on the chorus to the synth sound effects that provide punctuation and punchlines to the verses, to some of the more clever rhymes in the lyrics—which include pairing "Oprah" with "Boca" and "I’m like a crook tonight" with "I could be your kryptonite." The song consists of "layers of synths and backing vocals adding a musical and emotional intensity totally absent from the carefree verses." The song also mentions Prince William and Kate Middleton. Mendler's vocals span from the low note of A3 to the high note of Eb6. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ready or Not (Bridgit Mendler song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
