What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad with Clevver News, and after calling off her engagement
with Max Ehrich, Demi Lovato is detailing her sudden split in the form of an emotional
new song.
In times of doubt, Demi Lovato has always turned to music, and this time around is no
different as she navigates through her recent breakup with Max Ehrich.
Since news of the split last week, Demi has yet to speak out on what went wrong, however
Max has shared many Instagram stories first alleging that, like the rest of us, he found
out about their breakup through tabloids.
He also made claims stating that he and Demi hadn’t even spoken about their split via
phone yet, among many other statements, but we broke all those details down for you, so
feel free to click right over here if you’re not caught up yet.
As for Demi, aside from cryptic Instagram stories posing without her ring, there hasn’t
been much word from her yet regarding the split.
However; on Tuesday, Demi took to social media to tease a new song she’d be releasing,
in a tweet and IG post that read, “Music is always there for me… song in the am.”
Fans were thrilled to finally get new music from Demi for the first time in months, but
fast forward a few hours after teasing the new song, and BOY DID SHE DELIVER.
Just this morning, Demi posted the song to her socials called “Still Have Me,” along
with the video featuring beautiful, emotional lyrics and of course, her powerful angelic
vocals.
In her post, she reiterated that QUOTE, “Music is always there for me…” and ironically
sings about preferring to be alone, being robbed of all the light within her and the
painful aftermath of everything she’s going through.
Check it out:
I don’t have much, but at least I still have me.”
It’s almost inevitable to assume Demi released this on purpose just days after her split
with Max made its way across headlines, as other lyrics include QUOTE, “It feels like
someone's stolen/All the light I ever had" and "Everything around me shattered/All the
highs are now just lows/But it doesn't even matter/'Cause I'd rather be alone.”
However, one thing to note is that Demi actually wrote this song a year ago and only teased
a snippet of it as fans hoped she would release the full version at some point.
It seems now was the perfect opportunity as the lyrics perfectly encapsulated her feelings
about the split as TMZ confirmed QUOTE, “Demi wrote her new single a while ago with friends,”
but she “kept the hook but changed the lyrics to reflect her split with Max.”
The outlet also revealed that Demi ended up leaking the song, adding QUOTE, “She blindsided
her team by dropping her new break-up song on twitter, sending them into a frenzy to
get it on platforms so her fans can buy the tune.”
So while Scooter and the rest of Demi’s team are scrambling to get the song on streaming
platforms, which has already surpassed 500,000 views in the first hour of going public, fans
have been replaying it via social media, and have already been deeply affected by the lyrics
in the best way possible.
One user took to Twitter to recall the time Demi dropped the snippet, writing, “I remember
listening to a snippet of this song a year ago.
I was in the darkest place I’ve ever been & was hoping she would release the full song.
Now I’m in an amazing place & it’s here, but the difference is I can actually believe
the lyrics this time.”
This user wrote, “I know demi's purpose with still have me wasn't to get commercial
success but this song DESERVES to be heard everywhere by everyone like it's not even
about charting but it's just her art and all the passion put into it being acknowledged,
I don't know if that makes sense.”
And this fan pointed out that despite everything she’s been through in recent months QUOTE,
“Demi started the year with ‘lord is there anyone?
I need someone,’ to ‘I still have
Back when news of the breakup went public, sources from Us Weekly confirmed that one
contributing factor to the fallout was Max’s instant “self-promotion,” adding, “Once
they got engaged, he really hit the gas pedal and wanted to make the most out of his career
opportunities.
He felt more comfortable doing so after they were fiancés and had a little bit more of
a leg up.”
Demi’s new song is the first instance of her “speaking out” on the breakup, however,
another source revealed that she’s been feeling a “sense of relief after seeing
Max’s true colors.”
The source added QUOTE, “She’s in a really good place and already jumping right back
into work and spending time with friends and family.”
Demi has been surrounding herself with her tight circle, and with the love and support
from fans, it appears she’ll have no problem getting through this difficult time.
As for Max, US weekly reports that a source close to him told them QUOTE: “He is heartbroken.
He’s not responding to friends again, and he is in a fragile state.”
Max has yet to reply directly to Demi’s song, but he did post this quote to his stories
the morning Demi dropped her song, “Do The Right Thing When Nobody Is Watching.”
