}} "Remember December" is a song recorded by American singer Demi Lovato for her second studio album, ''Here We Go Again''. It was written by John Fields, Lovato and Anne Preven, and produced by Fields. The song was released as the album's second and final single outside North America on January 18, 2010 through Hollywood Records. "Remember December" adapts power pop and synthpop genres and diverges from Lovato's usual pop rock sound. The lyrics describe the protagonist's attempt to remind her boyfriend of the good times of their relationship. Lovato described the song's sound as an example of what she wanted her future music to sound like. "Remember December" received generally positive reviews from music critics; the majority of them praised its hook and chorus. Several critics also named it one of the album's standouts. "Remember December" was commercially unsuccessful, peaking at number 80 on the UK Singles Chart and failing to enter charts elsewhere. It sold 144,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Lovato has performed the song numerous times, including on her tour Summer Tour 2009 and ''The Alan Titchmarsh Show''. ==Background== In January 2009, Lovato first started writing the songs for her sophomore album ''Here We Go Again'', right after filming from the first season of ''Sonny with a Chance''. In April 2009, Lovato explained about the album's process and collaborating with other songwriters and artists, such as Jon McLaughlin and The Academy Is... lead singer William Beckett. Unlike her first studio album ''Don't Forget'', she did not collaborate with the Jonas Brothers, as she wanted to see what her sound would be like without their input. According to Lovato, the album's writing process was nearly completed in just two weeks.〔 Lovato worked with songwriter Anne Preven wrote three songs on the album, "Solo", "Quiet" and "Recember December".〔 John Fields, who helmed production on ''Don't Forget'', co-wrote "Remember December" with Lovato and Preven, and produced all three songs, along with the majority of the album.〔 The recording sessions for the album began in January 2009,〔 and "Remember December" was recorded by Fields in Studio Wishbone in Los Angeles, California.〔 The song features Owsley on guitars, synths and backing vocals, and Dorian Crozier on drums.〔 Tommy Barbarella contributed synths, while Ken Chastain handled percussion.〔 Fields and Paul David Hager mixed the recordings.〔 In an interview with Jocelyn Vena of MTV News, Lovato said that the song is meant for "all her girls out there who need to remind guys that they messed up". In the same interview, she said that it is different from her usual pop rock sound: I love this song for many reasons. It had a different sound than a lot of my songs. I related to it personally more than other songs, and I have so much fun with it. I thought if it could be a single that it would be incredible to perform it all the time ... What stands out about the song (that ) I can dance to it and rock out to it, which is ultimately my goal. I was just so excited when I heard this one, 'cause it's the epitome of where I want to go with the future.〔 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「Remember December」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
