D: we connected then because we just saw something in each other, maybe it was because of spirituality or maybe it was just our hearts I don't know...

M: Or maybe we were just gay as fuck.

I am totally going to answer your gag order thoughts ask soon!!! But also wanted to ask- have you heard the "rock" versions of some of their previous songs that Demi has been releasing? (I think rn it's just heart attack and cool for the summer) if you've heard them, what do you think? ❤️

Hilariously I have an anon sitting in my inbox from six days ago asking me about Gag Order too XD So no worries and no rush!!

And I have! I love what Demi's been doing lately. Holy Fvck was one of my favorite albums of 2022, and I think a rock sound suits Demi's voice and vibe so much more.

I actually hadn't heard much of Demi's music until DWTD...TAOSO (what an album title lol) so while I had heard Cool for the Summer and Heart Attack before, like on the radio, I didn't have any particular feelings about those songs. But I think the new production fits Demi a lot better, and I bet they'll have a lot more fun performing these classics live now.

Plus, now that Demi is a bit healthier and taking better care of themself, she's having a much easier time belting and hitting higher notes. That kind of rock roar (I don't know how to describe it lol) that she does, especially when riffing off the choruses in the last part of those songs, sounds so clean and strong now.

And I've really enjoyed the production/instrumentation they've been doing now, the drums and guitars sound so good and bring me back to the mid-2000s in the best way.

My favorite part of Cool for the Summer, though, is definitely that she updated "don't tell your mother" to "go tell your mother" because, fuck yeah, we love an out and proud queer baby singing about their love out loud.

I've got a lot of respect and sympathy for Demi, and I'm excited to see what else they do from here. I think she's been through a lot, and it's really incredible to see what she's accomplished in spite of all that.

Demi Lovato - ‘Skin Of My Teeth’

I had these initial thoughts based on the snippets about "Skin of My Teeth"

Yeah, I kinda totally absolutely wish this was not the lead single. It rather feels like repeating the pattern of DWTD...TAOSO. Demi wrote in "California Sober," that she is "tired of being known for my sickness." And yet the first song released from her next album is about... surviving her sickness. Just like the first single from her last album. [...] I think that entering a new era, a FUN song--even if dealing with what she's gone through--would have been the better choice.

 I take them back after listening to the full song. Re-introducing herself to the world (especially so soon after the--let's get real-disastrous D7 era), it really works.

Looking at the lyrics, I totally got it. It begins with:

Demi leaves rehab again/When is this shit gonna end

Let's be honest, how many times have we heard not only her detractors, but even her stans (although they are more gentle about it) say a variation of here we go again. Her whole California Sober phase had just about everyone calling out that it was a recipe for disaster, after all.

I survived but it got harder to breathe

This line is heartbreaking. She did survive, but the pressure to keep going, and probably that continued, stronger pressure to be a role model *and* to stay away from the stuff was even harder for her. And, yet, think of the image she presented to the world.

Asking why doesn’t make it easier/Go easier on me

Trying to think about it, I don't think that Demi's ever really asked for her detractors to just lay off, to just ever really stop and think: Look at what I've gone through, am going through, just go easier on me. Here she is, and I love it.

And, it's not just to her detractors, I think it's also to those who are trying to help, who love her too. Asking why, how isn't helping. It's just.... let her breathe, let her live, she's trying, but it's not easy, so just let her be.

The reaper knocks on my door/Cause I’m addicted to more/I don’t need you to keep score/When I’m the one who’s at war

And this whole verse is directed at her detractors because it's a clear call saying, yes, I know, I know I fuck up. Yes, I know that I keep failing and falling, but I KNOW THAT. I don't need you telling me. I don't need you reminding me. I'm the one who keeps falling closer and closer to the edge.

Aaaah, and then this, this, this bridge hits so much harder when hearing in the context of the whole song:

I’m just trying to keep my head above water I’m your son and I’m your daughter I’m your mother I’m your father

She's saying that there are SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE out there who are struggling with substance addiction. She's just one of millions and millions. Look around and your son, your daughter, your mother, your father is in the same situation. This epidemic is everywhere, which leads us to...

I’m just a product of the problem

Because, yes, drug proliferation is everywhere, effecting so many people. Too many people. Demi is just one of too, too many. She's just put a very public face on it.

And then:

I’m alive

Yes, she's alive. She made it, and there is a triumph there which we can all be happy about it, but it dives right back into that chorus which reminds us that it's still a fight for her. And there is one different line in that final chorus.

Won't you try and have some mercy on me?

So, yes, I take back my complaint for this is as a single, it's a brilliant bridge between D7, all of the messiness that happened and this new era. Like it or not, Demi Lovato has been known for her sickness, and because of that she's done a lot of messy things. In this song, she's reminding people of that and (for the first time) she's asking people to take that into account and have some mercy.

After all, she's alive by the skin of her teeth. But, goddamnit, she's alive.
