Songfacts®:

  • Tired of dealing with the silly games of a guy she's dating, Demi Lovato responds with venom:

    I date men, but you're acting like a little boy

    Lovato explained during a New York City private album launch event: "Music is such a great outlet for expressing emotions, and I wrote this song during a very frustrating time. It's about playing games when I got out of a relationship and started dating again. This was something that was totally foreign to me, so it caused a lot of confusion and frustrations. And that's what I wrote this song about."
