Demi Lovato is about to make an already steamy summer even hotter. After wiping her Instagram feed last week and hinting that something new was on the horizon, the singer dropped a preview of her dance floor-ready new single, “Fast,” on Tuesday (July 15).
“Cuz baby honestly/ I just wanna feel your hands all over me (over and over)/ Right where they wanna be/ Even if it’s only for tonight,” she sings over the song’s insistent, house-like beat on a song that seems primed for high-energy remixes. In the accompanying video sneak peek, Lovato spins and seduces the camera by swiping her hands over her chest as she walks down a moonlit cityscape.
In the Instagram reboot that began last week, Lovato kicked things off with a sultry image of her laying on the floor in a backless back dress and red-bottom shoes gazing over her shoulder with the caption, “I’m not so sure, I’ve ever felt like this before.” She followed up with a video in which she sings those lyrics over a bubbling electronic background and a slide of her wearing an oversized grey suit jacket top in what looks like a photo shoot captioned with another lyric, “I can’t deny, it feels so right.”
At press time a spokesperson for Lovato had not responded to Billboard‘s request for additional information on the single.
In September, Lovato confirmed to Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that she was “working on new music” and said she was “kind of figuring out my sound right now.” At the time she said she wasn’t sure when it would be released, but promised that she was working on “love songs and sexy songs,” which made sense since she was gearing up to marry fiancé Jordan “Jutes” Lutes at the time; the couple tied the knot in May in California.
Jutes co-wrote three songs on Lovato’s most recent album, 2022’s hard-hitting Holy Fvck, which hit No. 7 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
