Demi Lovato said on her twitter “There's nothing like the truth. The honest to God, uncomfortable and shocking truth. Sometimes you have to share your story in the most honest way possible... for me, that's through music.”

Demi Lovato- Sober

In the lyrics, it starts off with,

I got no excuses
For all of these goodbyes
Call me when it's over
'Cause I'm dying inside

In the second verse,
I'm sorry to my future love
For the man that left my bed
For making love the way I saved for you inside my head

And I'm sorry for the fans I lost
Who watched me fall again
I wanna be a role model
But I'm only human

In this song, she exposed herself to her utmost vulnerability and heart's cry. She confessed, "I don't know" in her chorus with multiple sorries.

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
why I do it every, every, every time
It's only when I'm lonely
Sometimes I just wanna cave
And I don't wanna fight I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
Just hold me, I'm lonely

Demi has checked herself into rehabilitation for physical and emotional issues at the age of 18, up till now, trying to overcome. In this latest song, she sang her heart out in heartfelt relatability.

"I wasn't working my program. I wasn't ready to get sober. I was sneaking it on planes, sneaking it in bathrooms, sneaking it throughout the night. Nobody knew," Demi said in a statement.

Loneliness is a problem that many deals with, males and females alike. It goes unnoticed. There is a void inside the heart that compels different ones to seek for love or some sort of affirmation. Some fill it up with sex, some fill it up with violence, some fill it up with self-mutilation or even addiction like alcohol, drugs or unhealthy habits.

What is healthy and what is beneficial?
The rehabilitation centre is not that common in Singapore. Girls, instead of seeking for love. The tip is this: Look at your family, look at your friends. If it doesn't help, look at what you like to do, get a hobby and find like-minded friends with similar interests. It's quite sian to step out and meet new people but the fruits of it will be all worth it.

In order for Demi to avoid going back to her old addictions and eating disorder, she checked herself into something called 'sober-living facility' in Los Angeles, which helps people who are recovering from substance abuse to cope with the challenges for the ultimate goal: Sober living.

In the pre-chorus,

I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
Just hold me, I'm lonely
