Sorry Not Sorry: Really funky beat and sound, I love the lyrics on this, and I think Demi’s performance is pretty solid on this one. Feels a lot like an anthem towards haters, and I can say it’s a good one.
Tell Me You Love Me: I feel like this track shows more vulnerability on Demi’s part, and I think her vocals are both powerful yet sad on this one. I also really like the lyrics on this one. Another pretty good song.
Sexy Dirty Love: Once again, I like Demi’s vocals on this one, the hook is pretty solid, and I think Demi’s lyricism is solid once again. Not my favorite song on the album, but pretty good overall.
You Don’t Do It For Me Anymore: This song reminds me of something I’ve heard before, but I can’t put my finger on what it is. Even so, it’s got a nice light beat, Demi’s vocals are very passionate on this one, and I feel like it’s a pretty good breakup song overall. Pretty enjoyable song.
Daddy Issues: I like the hook on this one, and I think the lyrics are personal and kind of interesting: having trouble falling in love because of her lack of a father figure. The beat is also really good on this one. Yet another very good song.
Ruin The Friendship: A much lighter song with again, a different subject matter: stepping out of your friendship with someone and engaging in sexual activities. Beyond that, I love Demi’s vocals, the song is very head-noddy, and also pretty sexy. Gotta say, I really really like this one.
Only Forever: When this one started, I was getting some old-school Weeknd vibes. Obviously, it changes dramatically, and it changes into a really beautiful song. Light, but wonderfully sung, and kind of sad (she’s talking about being in love with someone and waiting forever for them, something I find very relatable). This is one I’ll probably end up breaking the replay button on, it’s an amazing song.
Lonely (ft. Lil Wayne): This DJ Mustard-produced song (yeah, I know) features yet another different subject matter: feeling lonely and isolated in heartbreak. It’s a really sad song that features a really passionate performance from Demi and some really solid lyrics. And you know what, Lil Wayne’s verse on this track is actually not bad. Another good song overall!
Cry Baby: Once again, Demi’s performance is strong and there’s another different subject matter (Demi’s usually unbreakable emotions are more broken here). The song also sounds very nice, and the hook is pretty solid. Not my personal favorite on the album, but this is another good one.
Games: Demi talks about sending mixed messages on this solid track that features a pretty catchy beat, good lyrics, and a typically strong performance from Demi. Nothing you haven’t heard before, but it’s still a pretty solid song.
Concentrate: Demi delves into themes of lust in this song. The result is a song that’s light, lyrically interesting, and wonderfully sung. The hook is also pretty solid here, and while it’s not my personal favorite on the album, I can say I did enjoy this song.
Hitchhiker: Okay, so not counting the deluxe edition tracks, all twelve songs on this deal with some kind of slightly different subject matter (she talks about feeling completely safe with someone). I like the hook and the instrumental on this one, and as I’ve been saying throughout the whole thing, I like the lyrics as well. A good end to this album.
Instruction (Jax Jones ft. Demi Lovato and Stefflon Don): This is a song that Demi did with Jax Jones and Stefflon Don that’s only on the Deluxe version. I’m glad it’s on here because it’s a catchy, great dance song, and it’s got really great lyrics and a mad catchy hook. Stefflon Don sounds like the girl version of Sean Paul, and you know what? I think that’s kinda charming. I really like this song!
Sorry Not Sorry (Acoustic): This acoustic version of Sorry Not Sorry is only available on the Deluxe version of the album. Pretty much everything I said about the original song applies here. Honestly, it’s hard to tell if I like the regular or the acoustic version better because they both sound pretty similar. Both good, though.
No Promises (Acoustic) (Cheat Codes ft. Demi Lovato): This is an acoustic version of a song Demi did with a group known as Cheat Codes, and it’s only on the Deluxe version. Once again, Demi’s vocals are beautiful, the song itself sounds very nice, and the hook is pretty solid. I haven’t heard the original version, but now I kinda don’t want to because I enjoyed this version so much.
Overall, I gotta say that I really enjoyed this album. Demi brings the goods vocally, as expected, but she’s also brought us an album that has a lot of different subject matters, which leads to some good lyrics, exciting songs, and overall, a lot of fun. I don’t know how this compares to Demi’s other albums, but regardless, this one is pretty great! There were legitimately no bad songs on this thing, and I’ll be honest, I got through the entire review without listing a “least favorite track,” which tells me that this album was generally pretty consistent overall. Demi, you wanted me to tell you this: I love you.
Favorite tracks: Daddy Issues, Ruin the Friendship, Only Forever, Instruction, No Promises (Acoustic)
Least favorite track: None, they were all quite good.
