DLC Release 06/22/10 ~ Miley Cyrus Pack 01

"7 Things" is a pop rock song performed by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. The song was co-written by Cyrus, Antonina Armato, and Tim James and produced by John Fields. It was released on June 17, 2008 by Hollywood Records as the lead single of the Cyrus' second album Breakout. Also registered as "Seven Things I Hate About You", Cyrus developed the song during the Best of Both Worlds Tour while feeling numerous emotions for an ex-boyfriend, mainly being fourious. The song's release brought allegations that it was about lead singer of the Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas, which Cyrus neither confirmed nor denied. Musically, "7 Things" bears aspects of both country and punk pop, while the lyrics in the song's refrain list seven traits Cyrus hates about an ex-boyfriend.

Cyrus says "7 Things" was inspired by an ex-boyfriend. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Cyrus said that she was "going through [...] nine-hundred different emotions while trying to write [the] song" and that her use of the word "hate" demonstrated how furious she was. When Seacrest asked if she was worried the song's subject would hear it and be upset, Cyrus responded that while she was slightly worried, "I want him to be upset. That was my point." She showed her draft to co-songwriters and producers Tim James and Antonia Armato, who suggested adding it to Breakout. Originally, "7 Things" was more "soft and nice" but Cyrus says she "went nuts" during the recording process and gave the song a harder sound. Cyrus had initially chosen "Fly on the Wall" as the lead single from Breakout, but replaced it with "7 Things" because she felt it was a "better introduction" to the album.

Following the release of "7 Things", came allegations that it was about Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. Allegations that "7 Things" was about Nick Jonas, lead singer of the Jonas Brothers, sprouted soon after the song's premiere on the May 13, 2008 broadcast of the Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. Cyrus and Jonas had dated for two years before breaking up in late 2007. Cyrus claimed, "Nick and I loved each other" and that after the breakup she "bawled for a month straight" while trying to rebel "against everything Nick wanted [her] to be".

Henry Freeland of Paste described "7 Things" as "the list of reasons she hates an ex-boyfriend (who just might be lead Jonas Brother, Nick)" and her "concern [...] that all of this hatred only leads them to love Maybe-Nick [...] all the more". Molly Lambert of The New York Times said, "[Cyrus] had recently broken up with her first serious boyfriend — a fellow Disney celebrity, Nick Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers, who was also her arena-concert tour mate during their secret two-year affair. In the video for '7 Things' she wears Nick's diabetes dog tags while singing about how his vanity and insecurity undermined their relationship." Jessica Herndon of People similarly points out the necklace and the fact that Jonas, "who split with Cyrus in late 2007 after two years of dating -- has Type 1 diabetes and is a spokesperson for awareness of the disease." When asked if the allegations were true, Cyrus said,

"With '7 Things,' I think a lot of people do, you know, think it's about Nick Jonas, and if they think it is, that's fine, or whoever they think it's about. But mostly that song is about who, um, they want it to be to. Like mostly, it's if a girl hates her current, or ex-boyfriend—for me it's an ex-boyfriend—so I think, you know, like, Nick is someone that was really important in my life, but I don't hate him. It's a good song and it's fun."

Guitar ~ ProffessorJoe

Not really the most interesting pack ever. Can't Be Tamed is just stupid. They charted something that's not even close to guitar on guitar just to make a song that's basically Tier 1 into something failable.

Vocals ~ RJUCPU

Um well, if you are a fan, you'll really like these I suppose. If you aren't a fan they still offer enough to stay interesting. Nothing of real difficulty and enough movement to keep from being boring. Didn't care for Can't be Tamed in any way shape, just don't like anything about the song personally. Fly on the Wall is by far my favorite from this pack on both vocals and bass, very very fun song. 7 Things and See You Again were also pretty fun to sing. Don't remember much about Start All Over even though I just sang it lol.
