Demi Lovato makes a vibrant return to the pop music scene with the release of her new single “Fast,” marking her first foray into pop in three years. Released today (August 1), the track showcases a club-ready sound reminiscent of her past Billboard hits like “Cool for the Summer” and “Really Don’t Care.” The catchy lyrics express a desire for excitement, emphasizing lines such as, “I wanna go fast/ I wanna go hard/ I wanna go anywhere, anywhere you are.”
This new single comes after a significant period during which Lovato transitioned to rock music, notably with her 2022 album “Holy Fvck” and the follow-up compilation “Revamped,” which reinterpreted her earlier pop tracks as rock anthems. According to a report from Rolling Stone, “Fast” serves as a precursor to a forthcoming album packed with fresh pop music. This upcoming project aims to embody a celebratory dance-pop vibe, inspired by her romance with her husband, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes.
Producer Zhone, associated with the forthcoming album, expressed that the creative process was liberating: “This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music!”
In a gesture that reflects her reconciliatory spirit, Lovato also made headlines for returning to The Bigg Chill, the frozen yogurt shop she had previously criticized in 2021 for its calorie-count displays. The artist shared a video of her visit, signaling a positive shift and posting, “love you bigg chill,” indicating that she has moved past her earlier complaints.
With “Fast,” Lovato not only marks her return to pop but also starts a new chapter filled with joy and creative expression, promising fans more exciting music in the near future.
