What actor who began her acting career at a young age, and quickly became labeled a teen idol as the title character of the Disney Channel comedy series "Lizzie McGuire", wrote a song for her first compilation album with the Dead Executives?
Beat of My Heart "Beat of My Heart" is a song recorded by American singer Hilary Duff for her first compilation album, "Most Wanted" (2005). It was written by Duff and the Dead Executives, a record production team consisting of Jason Epperson, Joel and Benji Madden. Along with the three other new songs on "Most Wanted", "Beat of My Heart" was crafted with the intention of having a "totally different sound" from Duff's previous material. It is an up-tempo new wave-inspired electropop song that incorporates elements of bubblegum pop and dance music in its production. Lyrically, "Beat of My Heart" can be interpreted in many different ways. For Duff, it tells the story of a woman "com[ing] out of her shell again" after a bad break-up.
