Tedder went on to compliment Lovato's vocals, stating, "She came in and just ripped it. She in pop music has one of the biggest ranges the highest full voice singer I've worked with, she can belt full voice like three octaves above middle C, it's just crazy, with complete power and complete control. At the beginning she's singing the lowest note she's done and by the end she's going as high as she's gone." Tedder says the song was a "fun dance record."
