Demi Lovato has been on a rising comeback these past years, but this could be the most exciting thing they’ve done so far. The ex-Disney star has recently announced that they will be re-releasing a new rock version of their hit single “Heart Attack.” Back then, this 2013 anthem won the Teen Choice Award for best Female single, as well as MuchMusic Video Award for iHeart Radio. With Demi’s new twists and rock-core, fans can expect this single to become 2023s new anthem. The official drop date was March 24th of this year!
Heart Attack But Make it Rock
It’s the way that 10 years later, I get to fangirl about Demi Lovato’s “Heart Attack.” Only this time, it’s bigger, better, and highlights how much strong Demi’s voice has gotten. Lovato has not just changed the music, she also re-recorded the vocals. The song builds from the pop-punk drums and adds raging guitars booming trap beats, and more raw emotion. While staying true to her roots, Lovato knew that remaking one of her most successful songs meant some things would need to change.
In an interview with Billboard music, Lovato spoke about how re-making this song ten years later is almost like reworking her legacy.
“I was so young, and I was a completely different person back then,” they explain. “I hadn’t come out as non-binary yet, so when I look back, I see a totally different person than I am today. But I still love that girl, I love that part of me.”
Quote from Billboard article about Demi Lovato’s rock version of “Heart Attack.”
Given the context of everything Lovato has gone through, it’s no wonder that we can easily hear and feel the differences between the two songs. There’s more grit, more anger, and overall more wisdom. Lovato knows now who they are, and more importantly, how far they’ve come.
