The lead single is “Skin of My Teeth.”
Just 14 months after releasing Dancing With the Devil in April 2021, Demi Lovato announced their eighth studio album in June 2022. Arriving later this summer, the new album is dedicated to the 29-year-old artist’s longtime fans as well as new ones: “The process of making this album has been the most fulfilling yet, and I’m grateful to my fans and collaborators for being on this journey with me,” Lovato said in a statement. “Never have I been more sure of myself and my music, and this record speaks that for itself. To my Lovatics who have been rocking out with me since the beginning and those who are just now coming along for the ride, thank you. This record is for you.”
