David tweeted this on 30 Aug, saying that he was going to record a scratch vocal on a new song:
Some fans asked Sunny Hilden, one of David’s songwriter, what a scratch vocal is, and she was nice enough to reply via her Twitter:
A scratch vocal is temporary, to test tempo, key, structure, build of a new song, before committing to more instruments.
During Monday’s scratch vocal, we changed the order of the verses, the key, the tempo & experimented with the time signature.
During Tuesday’s scratch vocal, on a different song, we added time after the 1st chorus & altered the piano part…it’s fun…
For those of you asking what “comping vocals” is, one song had 40 takes – comping is figuring out which line to use from which take. Some takes have melody experiments, a “v” that sounds too much like “d,” magic moments, “p’s” that “pop,” fun puzzle:)
All sounds pretty complicated to me. haha…

OMG!!! 
New song co-written by David!!!
“LET ME IN” PRESTON POWIS
produced by Chuck E. Myers
written by Preston Powis, David Archuleta, and Dean Kaelin
©2011 Preston Powis / David Archuleta / Dean Kaelin / Big Idea Music Productions inc.
Inspired by the classic films of old Hollywood, “Let Me In” combines the raw emotion of a pop-rock ballad with the beauty of orchestral film score. The music video pays tribute to that source of musical inspiration with its cinematic styling. Let Me In, in its nod to the movies, is a story of stark realization and love lost. Even through pain and feelings of doubt, a glimmer of hope still remains.
LYRICS
“LET ME IN”
These picture perfect memories,
Seem to fade out with time.
And now I’m stuck here wishing
I could read your mind.
Oh, I’ve tried!
Thought all along we’d turn this thing around,
The more I tried the more you held your ground.
I hope that you haven’t shut me out completely.
(Oh no)
