Demi Lovato knows a thing or two about Valentine’s Day. She once had her heart broken on Valentine’s Day. The experience was bitter enough that she penned her song Don’t Forget in order to make sure she always remembered what happened.

“I was really into this guy and I figured he was going to ask me to be his Valentine,” Demi told Tiger Beat. “Then he got a girlfriend and forget about me! I was bummed and alone on Valentine’s Day. So I wrote ‘Don’t Forget’”Demi turned a negative into a positive, after all. Now, she’s not as worried about boys on Valentine’s Day. Instead, she’s decided to keep the focus where it really matters, on her family.

“One of my favorite memories is from a special Valentine’s Day I shared with my family,” she said. “Valentine’s Day is my dad’s birthday and that day it was the only thing we were celebrating. We had a family friend come over and they brought every girl a rose, a balloon, and a card that said ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’.”

She loved the simple gift.

“It was so sweet, and we had a giant cookie, which is the best thing in the world.”

Demi Lovato hopes her fans will remember what’s important on this special day.

“I think Valentine’s Day is really about loving your family,” she said. “My family is really, really close, so we spend it together. Another great way to spend Valentine’s Day is to watch The Notebook, eat pickles, and hang out with friends.”
