The lead single from the album, "It's Alright, It's OK", was officially released in Canada on April 13, 2009.[1] The second single from Guilty Pleasure, "Crank It Up" was released on October 9, 2009, in Europe.

The album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling 25,000 copies in its first week.[2]

Background and release

[edit]
Katy Perry was one of the inspirations for the album Guilty Pleasure.

In April 2008, she said that she has recorded a few songs for the album and she would fully focus on the album after filming High School Musical 3.[3] Tisdale has noted that the songs in the album have a message and a story that anyone can relate to,[4] and hoped to reveal her "edgier" side with more mature songs.[5] She also said the album was titled Guilty Pleasure because of her guilty pleasures.[6] Tisdale was involved in every aspect of the album's production.[7] Tisdale's music inspirations for the album include Katy Perry and Pat Benatar.[8] The song "Switch" is also featured in the motion picture Aliens in the Attic, which Tisdale starred in.

I’ve been working on the second album for a year, and it’s something completely different from the first album. Doing the first album is a lot of learning about yourself -- I had to get to know what I like, even though I knew I wanted to do something pop and R&B. I went for more of a rock sound. I’m 23 now, so I’m growing up, and I wanted something more mature and edgier. I’m starting to show a side of myself that people don’t know.[8]

— Ashley Tisdale

Warner Bros. said the first component of the label's album roll out was revealing Tisdale's new look with a relaunch of her web site in March and the cover of Cosmopolitan's April issue. "We wanted to create a conversation and then follow quickly with the music," he said.[9] The album was to be released on June 16, 2009 in North America, but it was pushed back to July 28, 2009, although it[10] was released a month before, on June 12, 2009 in several countries such as Germany, Italy and Spain.[11] The album's release date in the US and Canada was preceded by an exclusive "Countdown to Guilty Pleasure" on iTunes for the U.S. and Canada, on which "Overrated", "What If" and "Acting Out" had promotional releases in each week.[12] The first two songs debuted on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart due to digital downloads at number three and number one, respectively.[13]

The first single, "It's Alright, It's OK", Tisdale said, "is a strong, empowering song that kind of helps you move on" and continued to say: I have definitely on and with someone you really like, if they are cheating on you, you don't want to believe it. But, unfortunately, you either stay in the relationship and keep getting hurt because it keeps happening or you get up and you move on. You don't look back.[14] Tisdale said the song "Hot Mess" is "about hanging out with a motorcycle bad boy that makes life more interesting" and the song "How Do You Love Someone", written by Porcelain Black, is "about a girl who deals with the split of her parents".[15] Tisdale said the song could also be about "when you have been cheated on or you're in a relationship".[14] Black was initially reluctant to let Tisdale record the song, but eventually green-lit the track; however, she also recorded her own version, produced by RedOne.[16] Tisdale co-wrote several songs on the album such as "What If", which was co-written with Kara DioGuardi. Tisdale described "What If" as the most personal song on the album, and said the song "is about when you’re in a relationship and you say 'If I really needed you, would you actually be there?’"[17] "Time's Up" it was first recorded by American pop singer Katy Perry, for her second album One of the Boys (2008), though it was never included for the album and was passed on to Tisdale.

Following its release, Guilty Pleasure generated mixed reviews from critics and has a 48 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on six critical reviews.[28] The most positive of reviews came from Allmusic's Stephen Erlewine, who gave the album three and a half stars out of five, stating that when Tisdale "sticks to the surface, she makes sure that Guilty Pleasure lives up to its title". The ballads however, were not as well received, stating Tisdale "isn't convincing when she tries to deal in either pain or carnality".[19] Billboard gave the album a mixed review with four and a half stars out of ten, stating Tisdale "can deliver the radio-ready goods" but criticized the album as a whole and that it "doesn't give the singer room to comfortably let loose".[20] Digital Spy's Nick Levine praised Guilty Pleasure for Tisdale's new sound, comparing her to the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson. Levine praised tracks such as "It's Alright, It's OK", "Erase and Rewind" and "Hot Mess", however was not impressed with "Crank It Up", stating it "shamelessly rips off Britney's robopop sound, right down to the Spears-aping vocals"; he went on to give the album three out of five stars.[22] The most negative of reviews came from Margaret Wappler of the Los Angeles Times who only gave the album one and a half out of four stars. Wappler said the album has "few glimmers of hope" and went on to criticize the producers as "not seem[ing] to have gifted Tisdale with their best work".
