Demi Lovato Is Sifting Through Heartbreak On New Song 'Still Have Me'

Last week, the surprising news came out that Demi Lovato and her fiancé of two months Max Ehrich had ended their engagement. The two had received with each other in March, around the time quarantine started, and immediately after Ehrich proposed in July in Malibu, the two shared adorable beach pictures expressing their excitement.


Although whatever the reason for their split, Lovato hasn't directly weighed in — up until right now. Order kind of. On a new single titled "Still Have Me," Lovato sings her own praises, acknowledging that things may be "a disaster she might be "still damaged although, because the chorus reminds, "I don't have much however at least I still have me."


Over an electric although subdued piano rhythm, Lovato sings her heart out on "Still Have Me," and whether it's a direct response to her current situation or a retooled version of something she's had in the works since at least 2019, it's hard not to be able to see it as a statement of determination, especially once she sings:

Everything around me shattered

All the highs are right now just low

But it doesn't even matter

Cause I'd rather be alone

The empowering anthem comes soon after "Anyone" — and its rousing premiere at the 2020 Grammys earlier this year — and also singles "I Love Me," "I'm Ready" (alongside Sam Smith), and the Marshmello collab "OK Not to Be OK," a tapestry of new music pointing to Lovato's new path along the path of perseverance and self-actualization.


Ahead of the song's release on social media, Lovato wrote, "Music is usually there for me."
