Vella also has a Diane Warren-penned cut, "Don't Mistake This For Love," where she sings of attraction and the messy paradox of emotional openness. Sometimes it isn't love that makes the heart beat fast, or jealousy, or endless phone calls. The narrator says I like the contradiction, the denial, the struggle to maintain control when the feelings are threatening to give it all away. "I might hate it when you're gone" captures the tension. The song explores the tendency to mask attachment as indifference, and it is a striking portrait of someone who refuses to admit how much they care.
