August 1, 2025 — Demi Lovato has officially re-entered the pop music universe with the release of her electrifying new single “Fast.” After a three-year hiatus from the genre, the high-energy track marks a defining shift in Lovato’s evolving musical identity — blending dance-pop with EDM production and emotional urgency.
“I wanna go fast / I wanna go hard / I wanna go anywhere, anywhere you are,” Lovato belts over a pulsing beat that feels tailor-made for club floors and festival stages. The track evokes the same adrenaline found in earlier pop staples like “Cool for the Summer” and “Really Don’t Care.”
From Rock to Rebirth
Since 2022, Lovato had set aside pop in favor of gritty rock sounds, first with her Holy Fvck album and then the Revamped project — rock renditions of her previous pop hits. She even held a symbolic “funeral” for her pop music.
But “Fast” is confirmation that the pop door wasn’t closed forever — only on pause.
A New Album is Coming
According to Rolling Stone, “Fast” is just the beginning. Lovato is working on a full-length dance-pop album, described as a celebratory, uninhibited return to joy, shaped by her relationship with husband and collaborator Jordan “Jutes” Lutes.
The album’s producer, Zhone, says the sound is all about release:
“This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music!”
Making Peace with the Past
In a full-circle moment, Lovato also revisited The Bigg Chill, the L.A. frozen yogurt shop she had publicly criticized in 2021. At the time, she slammed the calorie-count messaging as “toxic,” sparking controversy. While she apologized then, her recent video post with a caption “love you bigg chill” shows that amends have truly been made.
Pop Isn’t Dead — It’s Just Getting Faster
For fans of Demi’s earlier pop reign, “Fast” feels like both a homecoming and an upgrade — fresh, fun, and fearlessly forward.
