Global pop sensation Demi Lovato has set the internet alight, announcing a fresh version of her track 'It's Not That Deep' with a sizzling new video shared directly with her fans on Instagram.
A Yacht-Side Revelation
The 33-year-old hitmaker showcased her signature vocals and impressive dance moves in a clip filmed aboard a sun-drenched yacht. Looking radiant, Lovato wore a stylish black and white bikini that highlighted her array of tattoos as she performed the lyrics with palpable energy.
In the caption accompanying the flirty post, she echoed the song's words, writing, 'Got you looking at the camera cause I love the memories!!!' She proudly announced the release, stating 'It’s not that deep a little bit extra version is OUT NOW!!!!' and listing the new tracks: Joshua Tree, Let You Go (Live), and Ghost. She signed off with a heartfelt message for her supporters, 'Just for you', alongside a heart and a kissy face emoji.
Her legion of fans were quick to express their admiration, flooding the comments with heart and flame emojis. One devotee wrote, 'Te amo mi amor', while another exclaimed, 'SHE’S REALLY GOOD.'
Healing and Advocacy Through 'Child Star'
This exciting musical release comes during a period of significant personal and professional growth for Lovato, who married artist and songwriter Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in May. Her journey has recently involved deep reflection, largely prompted by the creation of her 2024 documentary, 'Child Star'.
The film, which delves into the realities of child stardom, fame, and working in the entertainment industry from a young age, proved to be a profoundly therapeutic experience for the former Barney and Friends actress. Lovato confessed to Who What Wear, 'I had a blast working on Child Star. But I also did a lot of healing for myself.'
She emphasised that the process allowed her to 'honour the truth of my inner child' and acknowledge the struggles of her younger self, who missed out on a normal childhood. Speaking with People, she explained, 'Going back and acknowledging my struggles was honoring my inner child and holding space for my younger self.'
From Personal Healing to Political Action
The documentary's impact extended beyond personal catharsis, propelling Lovato into the realm of political activism. The chart-topping star has become a vocal advocate for children working in the US entertainment industry.
Lovato shared a remarkable story of her direct advocacy, revealing she personally lobbied California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign a protective bill for child performers. 'I kind of put him on the spot,' she said. 'I was like, "There's a bill that needs to be signed."' Her efforts were swiftly rewarded. 'Then the governor called me the next day on my way home, and he said, "All right!"'
Collaborating with fellow former child stars like Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson, and Raven-Symoné for the documentary also provided a powerful sense of community. Lovato noted that sharing their parallel experiences was both 'encouraging and therapeutic', making everyone involved feel less isolated.
With a new musical release thrilling her fans and a powerful documentary fuelling positive change, Demi Lovato is confidently steering her career and advocacy into a bright new era.
