Jutes hails ‘very helpful’ Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato has helped Jordan ‘Jutes’ Lutes to navigate his sobriety battle.

Jutes and Demi Lovato have both overcome addiction

The 33-year-old pop star and Jutes have both struggled with addiction over the years, and the 34-year-old singer has praised Demi for supporting him through his troubles.

Jutes – who married Demi earlier this year – told People: “It’s very, very helpful having the support of Demi.

“Sadly I’m like, I don’t know if I would have stuck with it if it wasn’t for her, in the beginning. It’s obviously the hardest in the beginning and there’s still times … it doesn’t ever go away. There’s still times where I’ll be out and I’m like, ‘This would be better if I wasn’t sober.’

“It does make me want to go out less now that I’m sober, but my life is just — it’s not comparable how much better it is now that I am sober.

“I mean, I love waking up early and feeding my dogs and meditating and having coffee and doing wholesome stuff and feeling good and going to the gym.”

In September, Demi explained that the “tone” of her life has become “lighter”.

The brunette beauty also explained how married life has changed her music.

Demi told PAPER magazine: “I’m not in this place in my life where I need these huge emotional ballads. The tone of my life is lighter.”

Demi believes her most-recent album is a reflection of where she’s at in her life.

She said: “I think it’s really a reflection of where I’m at personally. I’m not in this place in my life where I need these huge emotional ballads to release some sort of deep emotional trauma I’m going through.

“I realised that when I started making this project. I started writing songs like that, and they just weren’t resonating … heavy topics like that. I’m in a place in my life where my energy feels very light.

“I just got married. It was a learning curve for me to take what I’ve always known about music, which is write what you know now. I had to learn how to write what was new to me, and that’s what this album is a reflection of. The tone of my life is lighter. I wanted a project that reflected that.”

Demi Lovato Finds the Right Frequency on New Album » PopMatters

Demi Lovato began the promotional cycle for her seventh studio album, It’s Not That Deep, by pretending to tease an upcoming documentary. The announcement was false, revealed to be a self-mocking joke about the number of documentaries Lovato has released in the past. 

Although repetitive output becomes ripe for satire, Lovato has endured hardships worthy of documentation. In 2018, the singer experienced a near-fatal drug overdose after six years of sobriety. Additionally, while a Disney Channel star, Lovato struggled with addiction and body-image issues. “I’m sorry for the burnout,” she says on “Sorry to Myself”, an It’s Not That Deep track where she reflects on the amount of pressure placed on child stars. “Hustle culture sometimes does pay off, but it comes with a price,” Lovato said in a 2025 interview with Paper magazine. 

While snippets of It’s Not That Deep allude to the singer’s tumultuous past, most of the album stays true to its name. “Popvato is back,” said its creator, who aimed to return to the lighthearted nature of her early work. Lovato’s recent output, the albums Dancing with the Devil and Holy Fuck, explored the angst of her addiction and sobriety journey.

Produced by Zhone, a collaborator of Kesha, It’s Not That Deep is a sleek collection of club pop, with a variety of sounds that diversify a record of singular purpose. The atmospheric chorus of “Frequency” resembles Lovato’s early hits: radio pop that showcased her vocal range. However, in the post-chorus, “Frequency” transitions into an autotuned EDM haze, where Lovato claims, “No one can f*** up the vibe,” as a bass fluctuates beneath her vocals. 

The record also hits mellower notes without deviating from an upbeat sound. “Let You Go” has a sing-along chorus, but the synths throughout convey a melancholy mood. “In My Head” is a fast-paced yet ethereal attempt at moving on, with a catchy melody that distracts from its cliché lyrics. “Before I Knew You” calls back to the empowerment pop of Lovato’s first few albums but is reimagined in a breathy, confessional mode indicative of the present. 

The main pitfall of It’s Not That Deep is that it risks being derivative of Charli XCX‘s brat, 2024’s contemplative hyperpop smash. While Charli XCX used club-ready tracks to contemplate the nature of her own celebrity, Lovato uses a similar sound to argue that there is currently nothing to think about at all, hence the album’s title. However, even that assertion conveys an important change. It’s Not That Deep is a reversal of the meaning Lovato tried to create on previous records to varying degrees of success. 

In 2021, after the release of Lovato’s third documentary, The Atlantic ran an article titled: “Stars Now Understand That Their Destruction Is Our Entertainment.” By turning her life into reality television, Lovato lost the ability to control its narrative. Instead, the medium for sharing that life became its own narrative for public consumption, where fans decided that the new entry point to Lovato’s work—an investigation of heavy subjects—overshadowed the frothy pop she sang. 

It’s Not That Deep strikes a new balance between work and play, as Lovato accomplishes an adult version of the task given to her as a Disney star: providing escapism. Self-references on this album feel liberating and humorous. The music video for “Fast” features Lovato’s internet memes: snippets of interviews in which the singer made ridiculous comments that fans never forgot. By embracing the outlandishness of these moments, Lovato supports the mission of It’s Not That Deep, approaching a lighthearted task with seriousness. 

On the record’s cover, Lovato tries on a dress still wrapped from the dry cleaner. A tag on the garment reads, “We [Love] Our Customers”. Holding up the dress, Lovato stands amid a bustling crowd of young and old, referencing the cover of Billy Joel’s 1976 album, Turnstiles. To remain relatable to their audiences, pop stars must have one foot in everyday life, while turning the mundane aspects of that life into a spectacle. Completing this act requires an audience’s willful ignorance and a celebrity’s ability to manipulate reality. In this case, then, It’s Not That Deep has depth in one regard: it makes the hustle look easy, which is no small feat.

See Demi Lovato Mashup Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ Songs for BBC Live Lounge

Singer’s new album, It’s Not That Deep, arrives Friday

Demi Lovato performed a mashup of two songs off Lady Gaga’s Mayhem during the singer’s visit to BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.

It’s tradition for guests to tackle another artist’s music while in the Live Lounge, but Lovato upped the ante by mashing up Mayhem’s “Disease” and “Perfect Celebrity” into one seamless performance.

Lovato’s Mayhem mashup comes just two days before the singer releases her latest album, It’s Not That Deep, out this Friday. Lovato previously previewed the 11-track album with the lead singles “Fast” and “Here All Night,” both club-ready records that choose dancing over deep dives. “So proud of all the work I’ve done,” she shared on Instagram, “and now, it’s time to celebrate and have some fun!!!”

“With my past eras, I often wrote cathartic music about heavy topics that I needed to process,” Lovato said in a statement when she announced her eighth studio LP. 

“When I got back in the studio this time around, those songs just weren’t resonating anymore because I’m not in that place in life. I’m happy, I’m in love, and I just want to enjoy life and have fun. I realized it’s not that deep anymore, and that became the ethos for this album. It’s Not That Deep is meant for late nights and dancefloors, and I can’t wait for you all to dance with me.”

Demi Lovato Dances the Heartbreak Away in ‘Here All Night’ Music Video

Demi Lovato has dropped an infectious new single, “Here All Night.” The dance-ready track was produced by Zhone, and arrives alongside a music video directed by Hannah Lux Davis.

“Begging for the bass ’til it’s hitting me right/ Sweatin’ on the dance floor under the lights,” Lovato howls on the soaring pop track. “To get over you/ I’ll be here all night.”

“’Here All Night’ is a breakup song I wrote by channeling a character, and it was so freeing to step into someone else’s story,” Lovato shared in a statement. “From the moment we finished the song, I knew it needed to be a dance video. It’s about dancing through heartbreak. It’s raw and empowering, with a playful, voyeuristic point of view.”

“Here All Night” will appear on Lovato’s forthcoming ninth album alongside her recent single “Fast.” Lovato tapped Zhone — the music maker behind “Someone for Me” by Kylie Minogue, “Rush” by Troye Sivan, and “Joyride” by Kesha — to executive-produce the project.

“It’s been so inspiring working with Demi and experiencing her journey of continued leveling up,” Zhone told Rolling Stone about their work together. “She is such a master in the studio. This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music! It really comes across throughout.”

Earlier this week, Lovato discussed her new era of music during an appearance on the Just Trish podcast. “Where I’m at today, my music is a huge reflection of where I’m at,” Lovato explained on the podcast. “I’m feeling more confident in my skin. I am in a really great place in my life. I’m happy, I’m in love, and that was part of the reason why I started making this music. The last album I made was Holy Fvck, and it was rock. It was very emotionally charged. It was, you know, there was anger and there was angst and sadness, and I’m just not in that place anymore.”

She added that despite finishing her ninth LP, she has already started recording more songs. “[This] was a big year for me, but I’m so inspired creatively right now that I’m already back in the studio,” the singer said. “I’m not taking a break. I’m so inspired and hungry for more music, because I feel like I tapped into something that feels really good and I want to chase that. I was in the studio yesterday, and I’m in the studio again on Friday and I’m just going to continue to work. I’m not stopping.”
