Released by: Universal Music Indonesia
Pop rock bertempo kencang menjadi citra musik Demi Lovato. Ehem, meskipun 'Skyscraper' masih terasa gemanya hingga sekarang, corak yang sebenarnya masih sangat tergambar jelas untuk Demi adalah hal-hal yang begini, seperti 'Made in the USA' ini. Single kedua dari album keempatnya, "Demi" telah dirilis berdekatan dengan hari kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat. Momentum yang pas untuk menjadikan lagunya sasaran pemutaran radio, terkait dengan patriotisme yang terselip dalam judul dan liriknya.
Apa sebenarnya isi dari 'Made in the USA' ini? Well, enggak jauh-jauh dari C.I.N.T.A. sih. Ya, lihat saja baris per baris liriknya, contains strong statements of love and relationship. "If you fall, I'll fall with you baby" di awal lagu sepertinya mengintimidasi quote film Titanic "You jump, I jump". Sementara "our love was made in the USA" tampaknya menyanjung produk buatan negara adidaya tersebut yang punya kualitas no.1.
Sebanyak-banyaknya pujian yang tertuju pada single ini, sebanyak itu pula yang menyindirnya menjiplak ide 'Party in the USA' milik rekan Disney, Miley Cyrus. Penyandingan tersebut tampaknya tak akan pernah sirna hingga 10 tahun ke depan. Tapi sebenarnya fakta unik mengenai 'Made in the USA' adalah lagu ini tercipta di tahun 2011 dan hendak dibawakan oleh seorang artis R&B. Itu membuat sebuah rujukan rasa R&B yang ada di dalamnya sebagai sesuatu yang seyogyanya terjadi. Tapi jika didengar secara spesifik pada bagian bridge, lagu ini justru mengandung unsur country yang terdengar di menit kedua detik ke-17. What the hell dengan persandingan tersebut, saat Demi masih bisa memberikan vocal run dalam lagu-lagunya, ini asli produk made by Demi Lovato.

LYRIC
Our love runs deep like a Chevy
If you fall I'll fall with you baby
Cause that's the way we like to do it
That's the way we like
You run around open doors like a gentleman
And tell me, "Girl, every day you're my everything."
Cause that's the way you like to do it
That's the way you like
Just a little West Coast, and a bit of sunshine
Hair blowing in the wind, losing track of time
Just you and I, just you and I
Whoa, whoa
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Made in the USA, yeah
You're always reading my mind like a letter
When I'm cold, you're there like a sweater
Cause that's the way you like to do it
That's the way we like
I'll never ever let the world get the best of you
Every night we're apart, I'm still next to you
Cause that's the way I like to do it
That's the way I like
We touch down on the east coast
Dinner on the sky rise,
Winter is the best time for walking in the city lights
You and I, you and I
Whoa whoa
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Cause baby I'll bite the bullet
And take the blow for love
Whoa oh oh, our love was made in the USA
Made in the USA, made in the USA
No matter how far we go,
I want the whole world to know
I want you bad, and I won't have it any other way
No matter what the people say,
I know that we'll never break
Cause our love was made, made in the USA
Made in the USA, yeah
Made in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.
Made in the U.S.A
