The 27-year-old half-Mexican America singer/actress has released the official remix of her latest single “I Love Me” featuring Travis Barker.

Complete with a Myspace-themed lyric video, the new version of the song is every former emo kid’s dream as Lovato transforms the single into something that would sound perfectly at home amid the punchy pop-rock of her 2008 debut album, Don’t Forget.

“‘Cause I’m a black belt when I’m beating up on myself/ But I’m an expert at givin’ love to somebody else/ I, me, myself and I, don’t see eye to eye, me, myself and I/ Oh, why do I compare myself to everyone?/ And I always got my finger on the self-destruct/ I wonder when I love me is enough/ I wonder when I love me is enough,” she belts out over crunchy guitars and the iconic Blink-182 drummer’s roiling percussion.

First released back in March following her triumphant performance at the 2020 Grammys,“I Love Me” is set to serve as the lead single for the pop star’s forthcoming seventh studio album, and has thus far peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100. 

Lovato has since collaborated with Sam Smithon the bombastic “I’m Ready” from the non-binary singer’s as-yet-untitled follow-up to 2017’s The Thrill of It All.

Demi Lovato has reunited with an ex-boyfriend…

But it’s not what you think!

Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas

The 22-year-old part-Mexican American singer-actress joined forces with her ex, Joe Jonas, for a special Camp Rock reunion when she made a tour stop in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Nearly six years after the Disney Channel original movie that they starred in together premiered, the two singers performed one of the songs from the film for the crowd at the Staples Center.

“You want to hear me play a really old song?” Lovato said while introducing the song. The intro of “This Is Me” kicked in and fans in the audience began freaking out. They sang along and screamed louder when Jonas appeared onstage mid-song to sing his part. She gave him a big hug after finishing the duet.

After the performance, Jonas posted an Instagram photo of him and Lovato onstage, saying, “Surprise LA! @DDLovato thank you for having me.” He also shared a video taken during a rehearsal and captioned it, “Tonight was amazing. Fun keeping this a secret.”

Jonas wasn’t the only special guest at Lovato’s L.A. concert. The “Really Don’t Care” hitmaker was also joined by Blink-182‘s drummer Travis Barker. She took to Instagram to share several photos of her performing with her guests.

It looks like Ashanti will be makin’ music with First Lady Michelle Obama…

The 32-year-old part-Dominican American singer/actress, who recently starred on Lifetime’s Army Wives, will form part of a hip-hop album from the first lady and non-profit organization Partnership for A Healthier America aimed at inspiring healthy living among our youth.

Entitled Songs for a Healthier America, the 19-track rap album due in September is part of Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign, which aims to fight childhood obesity.

Along with Ashanti, the record will include tracks featuring Jordin Sparks, Run DMC, Ariana Grande and Blink-182‘s Travis Barker.

Mrs. Obama herself won’t be heard on any of the tracks but she will be making cameos in the music videos, with a total of ten clips to be created for the album, which will first be released to New York schools before being distributed to other major cities.

The first track, “Everybody“, featuring Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Ryan Beatty, Artie Green and Dr. Mehmet Oz, was already released back in June as a free download and its music video can similarly be found online.

The positive message as well as the bouncy beat of the track, not to mention the spoken word feature from the First Lady highlighting the second year of her “Let’s Move” initiative, calling on everyone to spread the word is a fitting lead track for the well-intentioned project.

Lending some of his valuable support to the First Lady’s pet project is President Barack Obama himself, who has, in the past, made appearances and even sung publicly to help promote the program.
