Demi Lovato reveals which ‘refreshed’ song was ‘special’ to re-record

Demi Lovato recently reimagined her past musical hits for her Renewed LP, an incredibly meaningful endeavor.

“Reimagining ‘Heart Attack’ was really special because it resonates so much with my fans and was the catalyst for creating RENEWED,Lovato, 31, tells exclusively We weekly while promoting her A very Demi holiday special.

Renewed was released in September, featuring brand new rock versions of ‘Confident’, ‘Sorry Not Sorry’, ‘Cool for the Summer’, ‘Give Your Heart a Break’ and more.
