As an artist, Demi has gone beyond just creating music for enjoyment. Through her lyrics about drug addiction, mental illness, and heartbreak, she assures listeners of her strength and resilience and in turn, offers hope. That’s why it’s important, now more than ever, to listen to her words and remind ourselves that she will get better — just as she has before. Keep scrolling for seven Demi Lovato songs that showcase just how strong she truly is.

1 of 7

“Skyscraper”

Demi released “Skyscraper” in 2011 and it quickly became an anthem for anyone who understands what it means to rise above in the face of tragedy or hardship. Even seven years ago, fans knew Demi was something special because of this song. You can listen to “Skyscraper” here.

2 of 7

“Confident”

Though “Confident” doesn’t sound as emotionally charged as some of Demi’s other songs, it’s all about never apologizing for being exactly who you are — flaws and all. You can listen to “Confident” here.

3 of 7

“Warrior”

With a name like “Warrior,” there’s no question that this song embodies Demi’s resilient spirit. Beyond that, it’s about understanding that you can channel your pain for the better and become stronger because of it. You can listen to “Warrior” here.

4 of 7

“Sorry Not Sorry”

Despite the fact that “Sorry Not Sorry” is a song you’d likely hear playing at a party, the message is all about strength. For someone who has struggled as much as Demi, hearing her belt out words like “savage” and “bad b–tch” should come as an inspiration to anyone hiding behind their insecurities. You can listen to “Sorry Not Sorry” here.

5 of 7

“Smoke & Mirrors”

Lyrically “Smoke & Mirrors” is seemingly about Demi’s failed relationship with Wilmer Valderrama. Demi walks the listener not only through her initial heartbreak, but also her triumph in the realization that maybe she’s better off without him. It takes a strong person to realize that not all love is the right kind of love. You can listen to “Smoke & Mirrors” here.

6 of 7

“Unbroken”

“Unbroken” is another single that at first just sounds like your run-of-the-mill pop song but when you listen more closely, it’s all about letting go of your demons and embracing love. You can listen to “Unbroken” here.

7 of 7

“Sober”

Demi’s most recent single “Sober” is perhaps the most powerful song she’s ever released. For Demi to open up about her drug addiction and relapse as publicly as she did with this song is nothing short of brave. She is a woman to be admired and the whole world is rooting for her.
