(2012). The song was released as a promotional single to the iTunes Store as Single of the Week on October 22, 2012, and was later announced to be the second single from the album.

The song was praised by music critics but it missed the Billboard Hot 100 by one position, debuting and peaking at number one on the US Billboard Bubbling Under chart.

Composition

Шаблон:Listen "Hurricane" exhibits elements of rap, gospel and pop. Built on a beat and multi-tracked harmonies, the song's instrumentation includes slow-bouncing keyboard tones, and drums. The song was written by Mendler and American songwriters Emanuel Kiriakou, Evan Kidd Bogart, and Andrew Goldstein, and produced by Kiriakou and Goldstein. Lyrically, the song gives ode to a disaster love, as well as reconciliation and perseverance in love. Mendler's vocals span from the low note of F₃ to the high note of F₅. In interview for Coup de Main Magazine, Mendler commented about recording a rap song for the first time. She said: Шаблон:Blockquote

Critical reception

The song was praised by the media. Tim Sendra of AllMusic said, "[Hurricane] has clever fairy tale lyrics and an impassioned vocal (and a sassy rap section)." Girls' Life magazine stated "[Mendler] brings the beat in 'Hurricane', where she belts out some sweet raps about being in the middle of a stormy relationship." Kai of Embrace You magazine claimed that the track title was "quite ironic when we’re currently experiencing one of mother nature’s conception of the said thing" and later said that "interestingly enough, I love this song. The acoustic opener caught me instantly and I’m addicted to her 'oh, oh, oh…' The singer’s play on natural disasters as metaphors for the way she feels about her love interest once again showcases how witty she is as an artist. The fast paced pop rock driven track is both catchy and substantial."

Music video

The music video for "Hurricane" was directed by Robert Hales and filmed in London in March 2013. It was released on April 12, 2013. Naomi Scott appears as Mendler's best friend in the video. They previously worked together in the 2011 Disney Channel film Lemonade Mouth.

On May 8, 2013, the first video, "Starry Eyed", an Ellie Goulding cover, was released. It received positive reviews. Sam Lansky of Idolator commented, "[Mendler's] husky voice works nicely with the song, especially toward the end, as it gets a little more emotive." On May 15, 2013, she released the second song, "Locked Out of Heaven", a Bruno Mars cover. Fanlala said that they "might like Bridgit's version just as much as the original."
