Demi Lovato Revisits Her Most Iconic Memes in ‘Fast’ Video — Watch!

Demi Lovato, the pop star, has been resurrected!

On Friday, Aug. 1, the actress and singer shared the lead single from her forthcoming ninth studio album, “Fast.”

Alongside a propulsive electro-pop beat, they sing: “I wanna go fast / I wanna go hard / I wanna go anywhere, anywhere you are.” 

Alongside the track, Lovato, 32, dropped a music video, which was directed by Daniel Sachon and features the Camp Rock star strutting at night through the street while cars are set on fire, clubgoers wait in line and people run around in their underwear.

At one point during the video, the “Confident” hitmaker saunters by five TV screens that reference some of their iconic memes, including the time they sang “Skyscraper” to a ghost in Unidentified; “Poot,” the 2015 Tumblr image of Lovato that spawned a fictional backstory; responding to a fat-shaming commenter; revealing their favorite dish is “a mug;” and a throwback to their “Disney knees” from Camp Rock.

Last month, Lovato’s executive producer Zhone told Rolling Stone that her next album would be “celebratory dance-pop.”

“It’s been so inspiring working with Demi and experiencing her journey of continued leveling up. She is such a master in the studio,” he told the publication.

Added Zhone: “This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music! It really comes across throughout.”

On July 9, Lovato began teasing her new musical era, initially wiping her Instagram clean of all but two posts.

“I’m not so sure, I’ve ever felt like this before,” they captioned a single photo. 

In the image, Lovato was pictured on a studio floor with a white backdrop, sporting a black mini dress with her back away from the camera. They also glanced over their shoulder to give the camera a sultry look. 

Lovato shared another teaser the following day — a music video captioned, “it feels so right.”

In the clip, they could be seen walking toward the camera, mouthing the lyrics to the sexy song while donning a leotard, stockings and an oversized jacket. She appeared fresh-faced with her hair in a tousled, wet look.

In September 2024, Lovato revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she was working on a new album and “kind of figuring out my sound right now.”

Lovato’s last album release was Revamped — a remix project — which was released in 2023.
