Demi Lovato has recently been in the news for returning to her pop roots. After her rock-influenced album Holy Fvck (2022), she has released a new single titled "Fast" which marks a shift back to a dance-pop sound. This new single is a part of her upcoming ninth studio album, which is expected to be released later this year.

Lovato has been open about her decision to move away from the rock genre, stating that she found it didn't "work" for her and that her new music will be more "fun" and authentic to her current state. She has been working with producer Zhone, who has also worked with artists like Troye Sivan and Kesha.

In addition to her music, Lovato has been in the public eye for her continued advocacy for mental health and body acceptance. She has been sharing photos of her toned physique and has spoken about learning to embrace her body after years of struggling with eating disorders. She has a team that helps her with her recovery, and she is focusing on body acceptance rather than body positivity.
