Demi Lovato turns pain into movement in Here All Night music video

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.”
