All the Way Up

All the Way Up is a 2009 song performed by actress/singer Emily Osment from her debut extended play, All the Right Wrongs. It was released on August 25, 2009 as the lead single from the album. The song was co-written by Emily Osment and Anthony Fagenson, and was produced by James Maxwell Collins. Lyrically, Osment stated she wanted the song to be about "breaking out" and that "a lot of kids can relate to that". The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Some have praised Osment's "spunk", and also make comment about how she chose not to join with Hollywood Records, like most other Disney Channel artist and instead joined Wind-Up Records (the label that is home to Creed and Evanescence). However, some call the song childish, stating that Osment tries to come across as "fierce", but just falls flat in the end. However, some have praised the single, calling it a magnificent start to her career. Osment herself has stated that the song is influenced by Alanis Morissette's album, Jagged Little Pill."All the Way Up" failed to garner much attention on the music charts, but it did manage to enter the charts in a few international territories, as well as becoming a hit on Radio Disney. The music video was directed by Roman White and features Osment, along with the band and labelmates Push Play rehearsing a performance of the song in their apartment. The video shows the effects the loud music has on all of the surrounding apartments. "All the Way Up" was performed on Osment's first tour, the "Clap Your Hands Tour", as well as the American talk show, The View.
