Demi Lovato is making a big comeback to pop music with her new single “Fast,” set to drop on August 1. The singer announced the release on Instagram with a series of photos from what looks like a music video shoot. Fans are excited as this marks her return to dance-pop after focusing on rock music in recent years.
The announcement came with a playful caption:
“me when i serve my favorite dish… FAST OUT FRIDAY 8.1.”
This references an old meme where Lovato joked that her favorite dish was a mug. She also shared a TikTok preview of the song, giving fans a taste of its upbeat, EDM-inspired sound.
A New Era for Demi Lovato
After exploring rock and pop-punk with her last two albums, “Holy Fvck” (2022) and “Revamped” (2023), Lovato is now shifting back to her pop roots. The new single is the first from her upcoming dance-pop album, which she has been working on with producer Zhone.
Zhone, known for collaborations with artists like Troye Sivan and Kesha, shared his excitement about the project:
“It’s been so inspiring working with Demi and experiencing her journey of continued leveling up. She is such a master in the studio. This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music! It really comes across throughout.”
The album is described as “celebratory dance-pop,” reflecting Lovato’s personal growth and happiness in recent years. A source close to the singer mentioned:
“Over the past few years, Demi has found love, joy, and newfound confidence, making the choice to approach life with much more lightness and fun. She took this sentiment into the studio, which can be felt in every track.”
