The Art of Starting Over.
Dancing With the Devil
The albums first title track re-creates Lovatos near-fatal overdose in 2018.
It started when she had a little red wine and called someone with drugs.
The song goes into details like a little white line leading her to a glass pipe and tinfoil.
Themusic videotakes it even further, retracing the night from a hospital bed.
I dont censor my substance use in Dancing With the Devil.
I want to confirm that people know that Im not glamorizing anything.
Thats the sad reality of how lonely it can be when youre in that position.
I wrote it for my little sister, Madison.
We didnt know how bad my brain damage would be [after my overdose], Lovato recalled.
Im talking about, no matter what, always being able to see my little sister.
At the end, it’s possible for you to hear Madison say, I love you, Demi.
I love you too, Lovato replies.
Met Him Last Night, Featuring Ariana Grande
Look,Scooter Braunis good for something.
His clients Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato have finallyblessed us with a collab.
Grande was one of the people who was there for Lovato through it all.
At first, Grande wasnt going to feature on the track.
She was like, No, no.
Ill be, like, mystery harmony lady, Lovato recalled onSiriusXMsThe Morning Mash Up.
And she was like, Are you sure?
And I was like, Yes.
And so she added her vocals, and shes just so shes so talented, so great.
Im so grateful to have a friend like her.
I dont care if you have aWAP.
15 Minutes
Congratulations to Ehrich, who doesnt deserve the banger Lovato wrote for him.
15 Minutes hits herex-fiance of two monthsright where it hurts: in the ego.
/ Crying in Malibu, while you were looking for 15 minutes.
Do we even have to say it?
California Sober
In this uplifting ballad, Lovato shares her experience of no longer being wholly sober.
She drinks in moderation and smokes marijuana (hence California).
I havent been by-the-book sober since the summer of 2019, she told the New YorkTimes.
I realized if I dont allow myself some wiggle room, I go to the hard [expletive].
And that will be the death of me.
Used to dread the month of June / Cause it reminded me of you, she begins the song.
It was this beautiful release of all the resentments I had towards him.
Oh, it was painful, it was needed, she sings on Butterfly.
