Demi Lovato is officially back with a new era. The GRAMMY-nominated pop star has announced her upcoming album It’s Not That Deep, set to be released on October 24, 2025, via Island Records. The reveal arrived in classic Lovato fashion—playful, dramatic, and a little bit mischievous.
On September 14, Lovato teased fans by announcing what she framed as a brand-new documentary: “getting deeper and more personal than ever,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). The link that followed, however, wasn’t a film trailer at all, but a pre-save link to her new record. Clicking through revealed the album’s title, artwork, and release date, leaving fans buzzing over the surprise twist.
So far, Lovato has confirmed the project will feature 11 tracks, with her latest singles “Fast” and “Here All Night” listed as the opening two songs on the tracklist. While the rest of the titles remain under wraps, these early releases give a strong sense of direction: a full embrace of dance-pop and electronic influences, signaling yet another bold reinvention for the 33-year-old singer.

A New Sonic Chapter for Demi
Lovato’s most recent singles have already offered fans a taste of this sound. “Fast” arrived earlier this summer, produced by Zhone (who has worked with Kylie Minogue, Troye Sivan, and Kesha). The track brims with shimmering synths, thumping beats, and anthemic vocals, setting the tone for an album made for late-night clubs and festival stages. “Here All Night” continued in that direction with its pulsing energy and soaring chorus, quickly becoming a fan favorite.
The shift stands in contrast to her 2022 album Holy Fvck, which leaned heavily into rock and pop-punk and debuted in the Billboard 200 Top 10. Lovato has been candid about the transition, admitting that while the rock project was meaningful, it didn’t fully reflect where she wanted to go. “The rock stuff didn’t work for me. And that’s OK,” she explained on the Chicks in the Office podcast. “It was a passion project… But this one is fun, and I realized what worked for me was ‘Cool for the Summer’ and these other big pop songs. I was like, ‘Why don’t I just go back to that?’”
What the Album Represents
In addition to being a sonic pivot, Lovato has hinted that It’s Not That Deep reflects her current state of mind: lighter, freer, and rooted in love. In an earlier appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in September 2024, she revealed that much of the album’s writing stemmed from a joyful, romantic space. “I’ve been writing nothing but love songs and sexy songs because I’m in this really good place,” she said at the time.
The album title itself seems to play into this mindset. Where past projects have tackled deeply personal struggles, recovery, and trauma, this one suggests a celebration of the present moment and a willingness to let go of overthinking.
