Demi Lovato returns to the studio… just three months after last album flopped
Two-time Grammy nominee Demi Lovato has announced her return to the recording studio, just three months after the release of her eighth album, Holy Fvck.
After her latest record fell short of expectations, the 30-year-old pop star shared pictures of herself looking excited to make new music over the weekend.
‘When [you’re] getting back in the studio,’ she captioned the recording while lip-syncing to audio that read: ‘Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
Making Music Again: Two-time Grammy nominee Demi Lovato has announced her return to the recording studio, just three months after the release of her eighth album, Holy Fvck.
In the clip, uploaded to TikTok, the former Disney Channel star can be seen sporting bright red lipstick, a black leather jacket and a sexy red bra trimmed with dainty lace.
This album marks the first to not ‘yield a Top 50 single on the Billboard Hot 100,’ according to that grape jjuice.
To make matters even more disappointing, Holy Fvck dropped from number seven in chats to 120 in its second week.

The sharp decline is “one of the biggest drops in the Billboard 200’s 55-year history.”
Still, her emotional ballad, 29, which is believed to be about her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, managed to peak at number 96.
In August, while speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the singer opened up about how her anger, sexuality, and past traumas inspired her music.

“The team around me was dictating my decisions and trying to influence the direction I was going in,” he explained.
Lovato continued: ‘I didn’t know who I was, and I had a team that was trying to force me in a direction to be a hyper-female pop star. And I was so unhappy doing that.’
Reflecting on her career after signing a record deal at just 15, she continued: “I started to lose myself and myself as an artist and honestly it didn’t reflect what was inside of me.”

‘I’d get on stage, and I’d be in these leotards and these stilettos that I was miserable in. And danced. I did choreography and stuff like that, and I just wasn’t happy.
Demi detailed the inspiration behind her upcoming album when she explained: “Everything I write comes from personal experiences, and I went through a tough time last year.
“I went back into treatment, and when I came out, I had all this unresolved trauma that I hadn’t dealt with or started to deal with in treatment. And then when I came out, I was like, “It’s okay to be angry and feel those things.”

She added how she found herself “under a microscope” and added what advice she would give her 15-year-old self.
The singer said, “I would say, ‘You’re beautiful. You don’t need to lose weight. You don’t need to judge yourself so harshly.’ But he might not have been able to comprehend those words at the time anyway.
“I was in a position where everything I did was under a microscope, and finding myself was also under a microscope.”
