[edit] Song description

In the song, Cyrus lists seven things she hates about an ex-boyfriend.[1] At the end, she lists seven things she likes about the ex-boyfriend.

According to one review, "7 Things" "mix[es] jangly pop verses with a raucous rock chorus, resulting in a weird but entertaining hybrid of Natalie Imbruglia's 'Torn' and No Doubt's 'Just a Girl'."[2]

The song is said to combine Avril Lavigne-style angst with dad Billy Ray Cyrus' country twang, according to People.com.[3]
