Demi Lovato is a Grammy nominated and multi-platinum singer, songwriter, actress, advocate, philanthropist, and business woman. In 2017, she released Tell Me You Love Mewhich instantly flew into the Top 5 on the iTunes Charts. The album also features the first single off the album "Sorry Not Sorry", which has garnered over 400 million streams and climbed to #1 on the viral charts.

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME exploded to a #1 debut on the iTunes album chart in the U.S. and 36 territories around the world on the strength of "Sorry Not Sorry," one of the fastest-rising hits in Demi's career. Showcasing "one of the year's most unstoppable voices" (Entertainment Weekly), the track has logged over 350 million global streams, and over 200 million views for its unbridled house party video. Underscoring TELL ME YOU LOVE ME's pop soulful flair, "Sorry Not Sorry" is joined in the Top 10 at Pop radio by "No Promises," Demi's collaboration with Cheat Codes.

Demi performed "Sorry Not Sorry" on NBC's The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, ABC's Good Morning America, and the MTV VMAs. She followed up with release week appearances in support of TELL ME YOU LOVE ME on NBC Universal's Ellen, The Today Show, and MTV's TRL. On Ellen, Demi introduced her full-length official new documentary, Simply Complicated. The 78-minute film amassed more than 7 millionviews in the first week of release.

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME is Demi's first new album since 2015's Confident, the inaugural release on the Island/Safehouse/Hollywood label, featuring the massive global hit "Cool For the Summer," with over 290 million YouTube views to date. Rolling Stone described Confident as "the album she was born to make: a brassy, sleek, dynamic pop production that lets her powerful voice soar to new emotional highs." Her previous album, 2013's self-titled Demi, hit #1 on iTunes in over 50 countries worldwide.
