If you don’t remember, Demi Lovato planned to take a break from entertainment in 2017 but ended up releasing lots of music!

It turns out, the 25-year-old singer was just pretty burnt out and needed some inspiration to get back on track.

“I was in a darker…I was just more frustrated last year with social media and things like that, and words getting twisted in interviews. I was tired and burnt out and had just come off of a tour. I wasn’t feeling very inspired,” she told W Magazine.

But Demi says her plans changed when she found out Confident had been nominated for a Grammy and after a visit to Kenya where she helped build a women’s empowerment center.

“[I] stopped focusing on the negativity in the industry. I just felt ready to go,” Demi explained.

We’re so glad that Demi decided to return to the spotlight this year!
