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.”

Fontaines D.C. have teamed up with Rosalía for their new collaboration, Where Is Gone?.

The song features on the Irish rock band's forthcoming album, Dopamine Chamber, which arrives on Friday (16.10.26). For guitarist Carlos O’Connell, working with the Spanish superstar is particularly special because of his own Spanish roots.

He explained: “I’ve admired Rosalía ever since her debut album, which I thought was absolutely beautiful.

“What excited me most was the way she continued to preserve Spain's musical traditions, something that felt spiritually connected to what we've been trying to achieve with Irish music. Having roots in both countries, it's been really special to witness. "She's an artist who has continued to amaze me at every point in her career.”

Frontman Grian Chatten has also described the collaboration with Rosalía as one of the most memorable achievements of his career.

He revealed that he felt "humbled" when she agreed to lend her voice to the band's album.

Speaking to NPR, Grian said: “I've always felt there's something almost like a single big idea that I'm personally trying to communicate to the world before I get old and die, if that makes sense. There's one thing I think I'll spend my life trying to express. I have a feeling she has a similar outlook. … I mean, she's an amazing arranger, composer and lyricist. It means so much that she wanted to sing on something we'd put together. It's definitely one of the highlights of my career.”

Rosalía's links to Irish rock music extend beyond Fontaines D.C. She also offered inspiration and helped develop the Spanish lyrics for U2's The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), a track from their forthcoming album, Carnaval de Luz.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, she spoke about frontman Bono, saying: “I don't know him personally, but he sent me a text explaining that he was working on a new project and had written a song called The Mirror Maker."

Rosalía joked that Bono had invented a few words of his own.

She recalled telling him: “I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I told him he could create his own language if he wanted to.”

She described the opportunity to collaborate with the 66 year old music veteran as a real privilege.

She added: “Bono is a legend.

“It's amazing.”

Bono recently revealed that he was worried about seeming like a stalker when he reached out to Rosalía to ask whether he could name the song after her.
