"He Said She Said"
Song
B-side"Be Good to Me", "Last Christmas"

"He Said She Said" is the second single from Ashley Tisdale's debut album, Headstrong. The song was co-written by songwriter/producer J. R. Rotem and Ryan Tedder. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales of 500,000 copies.[1]

The song appears in the season 3 of MTV's series The Hills.

Release

The song was released as a single on iTunes on December 19, 2006 alongside "Headstrong", the title track from her debut album.[2] It was released as a single in the UK and the U.S. on September 17, 2007, and in Germany on October 26.[3] The song is featured in the 2008 monster film Cloverfield, on the 2007 album Now! 12 (the twelfth edition of the Canadian Now! series), and during the credits of the 2007 film Bring It On: In It to Win It. It was also on the Spanish version on Madden NFL 08.

Background

The song was recorded in three versions: the original leak, where she sang at the High School Musical Concerts; the Radio Disney Version, where she completely re-recorded her vocals, in order to sound less suggestive; and the third version, released previously on iTunes as an exclusive version and remains available to download. In between versions are some significant differences, for example:

Album Version version[4]

Baby I can see us movin' like that

Baby I can see us touchin' like that
Baby I can see us kissin' like that,

We don't need no more that he said she said

Radio Disney version[5]

Baby I can see us bein like that

Baby I can see us dancin like that
Baby I can see us chillin' like that

We don't need no more that he said she said

The first version leaked during High School Musical: The Concert on early December 2006, the version used in airplay of Radio Disney and was the first version that leaked. The version used best known as "album version" is being played in the other radios and also in the music video. As "He Said She Said" would be the first single, "Headstrong" would be the second, even being briefly released as a double A-side along with the original version of "He Said She Said", but was cancelled, when "Be Good to Me" was released as the first single in reason of the explict content of "He Said She Said".

Music videos

First Version

The first video for "He Said She Said" was filmed on January 25, 2007. In the video, Tisdale is in a high school. She becomes attracted to a male student and does various things to impress him. Tisdale enters a classroom, and starts to daydream. Then the class room turns into a nightclub. She starts having a dance-off with the mean girls from her school, and at the end, dances with the object of her affection. Tisdale has mentioned on a YouTube video that for the first scene of the video, she slammed a locker door so hard that it could not be reopened for a retake.[6]
