That voice, though. Demi Lovato‘s new song “Stone Cold” is worth a repeat. The singer dropped a music video for the new single on Tuesday, February 23.
Lovato, 23, shows off her incredible vocals in the emotionally raw video, which has already garnered more than 1 million views.
The former Disney star’s acting skills are on point, too. Lovato belts out the tune while sitting in a bathtub of water fully clothed and while walking outside in wintery weather.
“Stone cold, baby / God knows I tried to feel / Happy for you,” Lovato sings. “Know that I am, even if I can’t understand, I’ll take the pain / Give me the truth, me and my heart / We’ll make it through / If happy is her, I’m happy for you.”
Lovato revealed during an interview with Entertainment Tonight that “Stone Cold” was the hardest music video she’s ever filmed.
“One, because emotionally it’s difficult, but two, at one point, I’m in the snow and it’s up to my waist — that’s literally how deep the snow was — so when you have like three pairs of leggings and you’re in the snow, and it’s not snow pants, I wrung my pants afterwards. It was just soaking wet because I had been in the snow for so long,” she explained to ET‘s Samantha Harris.
Lovato filmed the footage in Park City, Utah. “It’s like my getaway, so being able to go shoot this video in a place where I’m already comfortable, where I love it there, it was awesome,” she said. “And obviously it’s beautiful there, so we thought it was a good setting.”
Overall, Lovato hopes that fans can relate to the ballad, which she wrote herself. “Every time I write a song, or every time I do a scene when I act, I always draw from personal experience,” she said. “I think this song, a lot of people can relate to. For me, it was therapy, but I also knew that a lot of people could relate to it — so I wrote it.”
