she just created something that will help people for much longer than any of us will see
anto floyd:
the fact that she even recreated a scene where the sexual abuse is implied... gaves me chills. It takes a whole lotta strength to make that. To even talk about it. That sh** stays in your mind forever
LKG:
The fact she wore the same outfit she wore that night is insane to me. She literally relived the entire thing making this video
yaoilover1488:
Fuck that was powerful. She just took back the power her overdose had over her, in my opinion. She reclaimed that trauma and goddamnit I’m so proud of her.
This, this is why she is my role model.
Grace Edgington:
You know an artist is so dedicated to the storytelling of their work when they reenact the night they almost died just for a music video. That must have taken an unbelievable amount of strength that I can't even begin to imagine. Demi's work ethic is something else.
Cami Petyn:
holy shit. the raw emotion in this performance. wow. just wow.
Perfectly Imperfect_85:
As a recovering addict this hits hard. And I appreciate her honesty and how vulnerable she is in this video. Made me cry thinking of my own past. But also proud... that I’ve been able to keep my demons out for 8yrs so far. Isn’t easy but I’m thankful for each day
Steezy827:
I watched my ex boyfriend die from heroin overdose, they brought him back but the recovery was so hard. He turned to fentanyl after...I have family members with the same issue. People will never understand how hard this is until they experience it themselves. I’m so proud of you for showing the dark dirty side of this. We’re so proud of you for fighting🖤
Ema 1307:
“It’s so hard to say no” damn, such a short sentence but it gives me goosebumps
Bella Jacob:
When I heard of her overdose, I cried, I prayed she didn't die. Watching this video is just flooding me with tears. I'm so glad she survived, a lot of celebrities go through so much and have to pretend that they're okay. That's not fair to them, and people hating celebrities for being vulnerable to us are really jobless.
John Appleseed:
The fact she actually had the courage to relive this...
heidi raise:
my world. my angel. my light.
this hits like “sober” did.
Julia Woody:
imagine how hard it must’ve been to like relive this whole experience in the hospital. and that’s what i call a queen. living through super hard moments and reliving it with a song that it gold.
Tess:
she went through such a hard time as a kid. I'm so glad she still with us
Francinete .Campos Carvalho:
Cadê os Brasileiros que amam essa Rainha❤♥️

Pop World:
Demi's a survivor! She isn't afraid of facing her past. In fact she made this video to let everyone know you can overcome anything! Even drug addiction!! Thank you Demi! 😭♥️
dog mom:
Using her platform to show everyone is human. May anyone out there struggling with addictions find solstice and sobriety. 💕 You're worth it!
Justice Valentine:
I got chills. She really put her whole soul in this track.
zara K:
Demi is definitely one of the few former disney actors who deserve a music career.
T.V.:
"Painful memories, memories of deep regrets, memories of hurting others and being hurt, memories of being abandoned—only those with such memories buried in their hearts can become stronger, more passionate, and emotionally flexible. Only those can attain happiness. So don't forget any of it. Remember it all and overcome it. if you don't overcome it you'll always be a kid whose soul never grows"
- It's ok not to be ok
Jessica Punzi:
She literally took the worst most traumatizing night of her life and made it into a music video.. literally reliving every minute. Just wow.
Paris Senior:
“Lord I’’m sorry, for dancing with the devil” that is so powerful. ❤️ life with the devil is never a good one, so so inspired how you’ve turned your life around, our God truly is an amazing one
Buzzing Bee:
She has been through so much. It takes a lot courage to publicly talk about you dark past. Stay strong and thrive Demi.
Takudzwa Muzondo:
I felt like I was in it. She's really strong being able to act to it
Sarah Belle:
“Feel like I earned it, feel like I deserved it” 🙌🏽
Zariyah Natalya:
The most transparency the industry has seen
Daniela Matos:
This song is so powerful. Hope that everyone that is struggling with this get better soon!
hen ko:
Demi lovato: dancing with the devil Lil nas x: *dancing on the devil Love them both and keep fighting demi
Cynthia Merritt:
One of my best friends passed away from an overdose not to long ago, I wish I could show her this. 💔
Maria Chavez:
Day 9 sober, trying so hard to stay fine. Please pray for me. 🥺
yamilka gomez:
Quiero creer que no fui la única persona a la cual se le salieron las lágrimas con esta canción
Mariah B.:
If just one person says "Demi Lovato helped me get sober" then everything she has done has been worth it
Debra Tencza:
She Sang and said it Boldly, when your in addiction, it feels like that, it grips your emotional whole being to numbness , especially Heroin, it's not that she's a celebrity, it's real. My family members have Died from Heroin, pray for Demi .
Lorranne:
Quando a Demi disse que esse novo álbum era sobre ela, ela não estava brincando...
Essa música é boa mas é triste...
Demi sendo incrível (como sempre).
LUDMILLA ONLINE 2.0:
Demi Lovato relives the terrible night she almost died after suffering an overdose , WHAT AMAZING WOMAN |
Brazil loves you 🇧🇷
Emilee Oldham:
My cousin died of an overdose yesterday morning. Demi this song has been on replay for hours and hours and it's the only thing getting me through. Rest in peace Jared 1997-2021
Audrey Hendricks:
Please protect Demi Lord and keep her safe and loved. Suffering from bipolar disorder or any mental illness is tough.Thank you for speaking up.
Ang !!!:
You are such a strong person. I’ve grown up around addicts and sadly most of them have not been able to step away from that life style. You and everyone battling with addiction is in my prayer. Much love Demi!
Manasvi Jamwal:
After watching the documentary I can literally feel every word...
Mash Art:
I hope Demi understands how much of a positive influence she's got on the younger generation and on people dealing with any kind of addiction. May it give her the drive to stay sober! She is so strong.
grace hill:
ur bravery is so inspiring demi. you’ve seen some of the darkest nights but always seem to come back 10x brighter. the deeper the night, the brighter the starlight.
Farnes Family Scrapbook:
How does one have the strength to act out something that nearly killed you?! She's so strong to have survived and gotten to this point.
Katy Hood:
Almost 2 years clean from cocaine abuse.
I hope Demi and everyone who relates to this is doing well💕
Gwen B:
Why do so many people dislike her video she is underrated all the fans give her likes right now
Meebles Sporella:
THAT WAS POWERFUL!
Gargi Mishra:
This song hits me so hard. I have ocd, anxiety, depression and eating disorder. Two months back i committed suicide by overdosing medicines prescribed to me and my organs were on the verge of failing and going into coma. It's so hard because i feel like my feelinga are not valid i feel like i am getting crazy and people think that everything is okay with me because everything looks okay to them. BUT THE FACT THAT I HAVE BEEN DENIED OF THE HELP I REQUIRED JUST BECAUSE FEW PEOPLE CANNOT SEE THAT I REALLY NEED IT AND MY PARENTS JUST DON'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED ABOUT IT ALSO THEY WANTED TO SAVE ME TO SAVE THEIR IMAGE IN THE SOCIETY.
IT'S THE FACT THAT NOBODY ACTUALLY GIVES A DAMN ABOUT ME EVEN DYING.
Ashley Greeley:
They should show this in high schools. Also, this needs a billion views!!!
Pop Princess:
You know Demi’s gonna ace those high notes!
Mads N:
miss girl turned her mess into a message, we stan this. we are beyond proud of u demi freakin lovato.
Bilal Hassani:
Crying looking at this video , demi has been my number 1 inspiration during my teenage years and helped me overcome so many hardships , thank u for the courage ! You’re brave , strong 💪🏻
Krystle D:
As someone who has been through sexual trauma. The fact that she made the decision to put this out there, the whole story. To be seen. That's so powerful and touching. Wishing lots of love for Demi
odeliya pinhasov:
Words:
It's just a little red wine, I'll be fine
Not like I wanna do this every night
I've been good, don't I deserve it?
I think I earned it, feels like it's worth it
In my mind, mind
Twisted reality, hopeless insanity
I told you I was okay, but I was lying
I was dancing with the devil
Out of control
Almost made it to heaven
It was closer than you know
Playing with the enemy
Gambling with my soul
It's so hard to say no
When you're dancing with the devil
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
It's just a little white line, I'll be fine
But soon that little white line is a little glass pipe
Tin foil remedy almost got the best of me
I keep praying I don't reach the end of my lifetime, mm
Twisted reality, hopeless insanity
I told you I was okay, but I was lying
I was dancing with the devil
Out of control

It was closer than you know
Playing with the enemy
Gambling with my soul
It's so hard to say no
When you're dancing with the devil
Thought I knew my limit, yeah
I thought that I could quit it, yeah
I thought that I could walk away easily
But here I am, falling down on my knees
Praying for better days to come and wash this pain away
Could you please forgive me?
Lord, I'm sorry for dancing with the devil
Oh, yeah, yeah
Dancing with the devil
Out of control
Almost made it to heaven
It was closer than you know (closer than you know)
Playing with the enemy (oh)
Gambling with my soul
It's so hard to say no
When you're dancing with the devil
Mm, yeah, mm

PLAYING WITH ENEMIES

Carla Gabriela:
I literally started tearing, she's such a strong woman, I am so freaking proud of her, but the power and the message of this song are insane
Emmy Brown:
i dont deal with addiction, but i have danced with the devil myself. february 1, 2021 i almost lost my life to myself and everyday is so hard. demi you are a light for people like me because you have shown how hard it really is to fight when all of these demons are winning. for you to reenact this for people to see is so amazing and i’m so proud of all you have done. thank you for being you and for showing not only me but so many others that there is a life worth living and one that can be controlled by ourselves❤️
GoXWithXTheXFlow:
the fact that she showed us every step of the worst night of her life is crazy
Helios Deep:
this will be on repeat for the next 48 hours. don’t text.
Liliana Pascoal:
This is masterpiece she literally put what happened to her in this video. She is very strong and have many problems i hope she is in the better place now .In her world i mean hollywood world its difficult to deal with the things. She is one of my favourite singers not only because her great voice but because you also can feel what she is singing and its great that she is showing her real problems for the people because a lot of people must feel what she is feeling and she is showing also that someone like her has problems to. She is like a good example for everyone a role model that if you fall you also can rise again. For me she is an inspiration because i suffer from anxiety and i know its hard.
Giovanna O. P.:
This is so raw I had to hold back my tears. I'm glad she's able to talk so openly about that. I wish her all the best from now on

Kristy Joy:
Vulnerability is Strength. The raw honesty of her darkness and demons speaks so loudly to a world that’s turned a cheek to a real epidemic.
Dalibor Antic:
Demi is a real Queen for me,imagine how hard it must be to going trough all this shit again with the same Wardrobe, hair and all this! God bless you honey you've helped a lot of people to Stop Dancing with the Devil!
The Blue Bat:
Wtf is wrong with the people disliking??? She’s spilling her heart out.
Teena Festa:
I'm not sobbing. You're sobbing. Omg I can't even begin to express the respect and gratitude I feel towards her for this. What a beautiful and brave girl. This is what it takes to start ending the stigma and creating an environment where addicts feel safe to try to get help before its too late. Every time I have had to go to a hospital, as soon as the doctors realized I had a history of addiction, they stopped caring about my life. I almost died one time because I had blot clots and they just didn't believe me. About an hour after leaving the hospital I collapsed. I woke up in a different hospital. Turns out I have a condition that effects my blood's coagulation. They just assumed because I was an addict that it either wasn't real or maybe they just didn't think my life mattered enough to check. I have a lot of similar stories too. Addicts are the one group of people who humanity collectively openly hates. As soon as a person is labeled "addict", they cease to be a human being. All of the things that brought them to the addiction in the first place don't matter. You aren't the person who was sexually and physically abused throughout your childhood and was diagnosed with CPTSD because of it and went to drugs to try to cope with the pain, flashbacks, insomnia, fear of people, etc. You're no longer someone's daughter. You're just a junkie who is undeserving of compassion or even the air you breathe. OK.. I'll admit it.. I'm talking about myself. That was way too specific lol. Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Nicole Hensiek:
The fact she's wearing the same wardrobe she did the dreadful night is so impactful on the reality
Megan Casier:
Ok but can we all take a minute to realise she had a harddrug addiction and never ever looked like it? I watched the whole documentary and i was speechless. She's the strongest woman ever and i'm happy to know the whole backstory instead of just the sentence "Demi Lovato almost died of heroin overdose" she's so BRAVE. I apreciate and respect her so much more now. I'm so happy she's alive. ❤️
Ela J:
Just a friendly message not related to this video☺️ God loves you, no matter who you are, where you’re from or what you’ve done. He’s waiting with open arms for you to accept Him into your lives. I hope you have a lovely day.God Bless You☁️🙌

Hey, what a great song, I'm not a critic or a professional musician but this song transmits so many messages that I could say that life is so improvised that we must take advantage of it with care, sooner or later we are dancing with evil in our hearts, our interiors,
Congratulations this song is just great, with love a fan.
xAnaxAlbarranx:
It completely painful every part of the video and see as she even though she acted, she remembered again and lived every moment, I really admire her and love her (I do not mind the opinion of others) she fallen and getting up, I hope this time he flies, he stays there, he really deserves it.
