Background
"Heart Attack" was originally recorded by Nikki Williams for her upcoming debut album. However, Williams felt that something was not right and therefore gave the song to Demi to record it. Pia Toscano was also interested in the song, but it was not conclusive. Demi's version has some lyrics altered, and has the dubstep break removed. You can listen to the demo here:



Williams said the song was written two years prior its release. She explained: "At the time I was going through some relationship stuff, and I was just so depressed, so when I got into the session I thought, 'You know what? I’m gonna pour it all out there, and get it off my chest.'.

Songwriters and Producers
"Heart Attack"  was written by Mitch Allan, Jason Evigan, Sean Douglas,  Nikki Williams,  Aaron Phillips and Demi Lovato. It was produced by The Suspex (Mitch Allan and Jason Evigan).

Music Video
The video begins with interspersed closeups of Lovato wearing dark makeup, with mirrored images of her head and face rising out of black liquid.[citation needed] A different-looking Lovato in white clothes with less makeup, hair pulled back, and hands painted black then starts singing, against a white background with varying horizontal or vertical black dripping lines. At the bridge it then cuts back to the darker version singing in a lobby with her band in the background (the same lobby as in Daughtry's Crawling Back to You and Matchbox Twenty's She's So Mean) ,against a dark background with straight white lines, interlaced with shots of black ink running down white walls. The video won "International Video of the Year - Artist" at the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards.

The music video has almost 80 million hits on VEVO.

Lyrics
Puttin’ my defences up

‘Cause I don’t wanna fall in love

If I ever did that

I think I’d have a heart attack



Never put my love out on the line

Never said yes to the right guy

Never had trouble getting what I want
