Demi Lovatois healing through music.

On Friday, the singer released her powerful track “Dancing with the Devil,” where she sings about the relapse, which led to her near-fatal overdose.

“It’s just a little red wine, I’ll be fine / Not like I wanna do this every night,” the 28-year-old starts, referring to her relapse. “I’ve been good, don’t I deserve it? / I think I earned it, feels like it’s worth it / In my mind.”

By the second verse, it’s “a little white line,” then “a little glass pipe.”

“Tin foil remedy, almost got the best of me,” she sings, referring to smoking heroin. “I keep prayin' I don’t reach the end of my lifetime.”

“It’s so hard to say no / When you’re dancing with the devil,” she sings.
