The 27-year-old singer and actress recently opened up on The Ellen DeGeneres Show about how her and Justin have both released documentaries, and have both gone through similar situations with being in the industry at a young age.
“This is what you and I are both meant to do. You’re meant to entertain and sing, and I think same as me. So I think when we run away from that, we feel less happy,” Justin said.
“When I struggled last year, I looked at you as an inspiration because you’ve been through this and come out the other side. I really admire the man that you are,” Demi said.
The 27-year-old’s new track is all about loving yourself and how hard we are on ourselves.
“I can’t put into words just yet what this past year for me has been… but this song focuses on a lot of what’s been going on in my head. We have good days, and we have bad days. The best we can do is be the best version of ourselves and celebrate that with those closest to us,” Demi shared on Instagram.
In the music video, Demi literally walked through some major moments of her past, including Camp Rock and her hospitalization in 2018. She also showed references to her love of jiu-jitsu, and her Fabletics collaboration.
At the end of the video, Demi had a few cameos from her current friends and team around her, including her BFFs Sirah and Matthew Scott Montgomery.

“So I was on tour. I was about 16, I think, and I want to say you were 14. You were outside of a radio station. I was doing an interview that day and you came up to me,” Demi said.
She continued, “You just ran up and was like, ‘Can I have a picture?’ It was so sweet. And you were like, ‘My name’s Justin…I’m Justin Bieber! You’re going to know my name one day.”

So it’s (laughs) not hard to figure that one out, but- um, but it is. It’s an anthem, and it, it discusses, you know, in the, in the beginning of the song, it talks about, and the second verse as well, but it talks about how hard we are on ourselves and this, the negative self-talk. You know, how easily we can listen to that. But when is loving yourself gonna be enough?”

At the end of the day when we enter this world and when we leave this world, our souls are all we have.

Demi Lovato looks happy to be at The Ellen DeGeneres Show!
The 27-year-old singer was beaming during her appearance on the talk show, which airs Thursday afternoon, March 5. She was on the show ahead of the release of her single “I Love Me” on Friday.
Demi got the chance to talk about her upcoming music, relapsing and her struggles with bulimia. It was revealed that her previous team had hid all the snacks that had sugar in them that Ellen leaves for her guests in their dressing rooms.
“I didn’t know that until today, too,” Demi shared. “I lived a life for the past six years that I felt wasn’t my own. It was, I don’t like to use this word but, controlled.”
She added, “If I was in my hotel room at night, they would take the telephone away so I couldn’t order room service, or if there was fruit in my room, they would take it out, because that’s extra sugar.”
Demi recalled that this was the first year in a long time that she had actual birthday cake.
