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.”

Metallica bassist Jason Newsted says he is now “free and clear” after facing throat cancer.

The 63 year old musician, who played with the Enter Sandman legends from 1986 through 2001, has shared details of his diagnosis publicly for the first time. He explained that doctors discovered it early, and on May 8, 2025 he “underwent a procedure” to treat the condition.

Speaking on the Let There Be Talk podcast, he said: “They took a bunch of s*** outta here and then they went in with lasers this way and took a bunch of s*** out.

“So the cavern inside my head is different than it was, but we got it early. And I got my ‘free and clear’ about three weeks ago. So I beat it.”

Jason contributed to several of Metallica’s most iconic releases, including 1988’s ...And Justice For All, their self titled 1991 album, 1996’s Load, the 1997 follow up Reload, and 1998’s Garage Inc.

After going through his cancer experience, the bassist made a point to slow down and actually give himself time to recover instead of constantly pushing forward.

He explained: “I promised myself I was going to rest, and that was the first time I’ve done that in my life.

"I’m usually just on or off. And so I promised myself I was gonna take the gravity off and lay down for the right amount of hours."

The health scare also led Jason to give up smoking weed and drinking alcohol, something he admits he likely would not have done otherwise.

He added: “The great spirit got my attention and said, ‘That’s not good right now, man.’ And so it pulled me off it.

"And so now I’m more clear-headed than I’ve been in my entire adult life. And so there’s blessings within everything. The lemonade I’m making this summer, bro — mm. Sweet. Ooh.”

Jason has previously said that his unexpected departure ultimately helped Metallica continue moving forward, while James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich later admitted they struggled to process his decision at the time.

Lars told Apple Music in 2021: “Jason is the only member of Metallica who has ever left willingly. And that in itself is a statistic.

"And the resentment from James and I was just so… 'You can’t do that. You can only leave if we want you to leave'.

"And then we weren’t equipped at the time to do a deep dive into why he was leaving. So of course, now you can see 20 years later, it makes complete sense.”
