The title is pretty self-explanatory, but I'm still going to explain what this new "series" is. Basically, in these posts, I'm going to be comparing two songs that I think can fairly and rationally be compared. Just as a disclaimer, I respect both songs and artists. This comparison is just for fun, please don't take it too seriously. There may also be spoilers from the songs' respective shows.

"What to Do" by Demi Lovato "Stuck on You" by Ross Lynch
Overview:
"What to Do" sung by Demi Lovato, is a song released by Walt Disney Records from 2010, which heavily relies on its guitar/acoustic instrumentation.
The song was featured on the "Sonny with a Chance" official soundtrack album, but was also showcased on "New Girl" (Episode 26, Season 2), the series finale of "Sonny with a Chance". "Sonny with a Chance" is a Disney Channel show that follows the life of Sonny Monroe (played by Demi Lovato), as she moves away from her hometown in Wisconsin to star in her favorite tv show, 'So Random', which was a sketch comedy show.
After Sonny dumps her boyfriend, Chad (played by Sterling Knight), she writes and performs "What to Do", to explain the confusion she felt during their relationship.
"Stuck on You" sung by Ross Lynch, is a song released by Walt Disney Records from 2013, which also primarily relies on its guitar/acoustic instrumentation.
The song was featured on the "Austin & Ally: Turn It Up" official soundtrack album and was also showcased on "Critics & Confidence" (Episode 10, Season 3). "Austin & Ally" is a Disney Channel tv show that documents the lives of Austin Moon (played by Ross Lynch) and Ally Dawson (played by Laura Marano), as Austin becomes an online sensation by singing a song that was written by Ally.
When Austin receives an unpleasant review from a credible reviewer, he becomes determined to impress the unsatisfied critic. Austin sings "Stuck on You", as an attempt to captivate the critic.
Similarities/Differences:
Obviously, as I've mentioned this before, the production on both songs are very similar. Both songs have a very fun and relaxing aesthetic. However, the similarities don't stop there. The lyrics also display a connection between the two songs.
In "What to Do", Lovato sings: "Tell me what to do, about you. Is there any way, anything I can say, won't break us in two. 'Cause it's been a long time coming. I can't stop loving you. Tell me what to do about you."
In "Stuck on You", Lynch sings: "So forgive me, if I'm doing this all wrong. I'm trying my best, in this song, to tell you. 'What can I do? I'm stuck on you'."
Even though, the songs were performed during different circumstances, with "What to Do" being about a breakup and "Stuck on You" being about the 'crush' phase, there is still a noticeable similarity between both songs.
Final Thoughts:
When I first heard "Stuck on You", I immediately thought of "What to Do", a song that I had already loved. I love both songs, and I actually have difficulty choosing a favorite. What are your thoughts? Do you think that these songs can be compared fairly? Which song do you personally like better?
