The new project marks a fresh chapter for Lovato, who has been teasing fans with a new sound over the past few weeks. She already released two singles from the album.
Singer Demi Lovato has shared why queer spaces hold a special place in her heart. She went on to explain how they make her feel safe, free, and fully herself.
The 33-year-old pop star, who identifies as pansexual and recently returned to using she/her pronouns, spoke to ‘PAPER’ magazine about her connection to queer club culture.

“I love going out with my friends. I love dancing, and I love doing that in queer spaces because it feels safe to me,” Lovato said. She added that straight clubs don’t give her the same sense of security.

“I feel there’s more danger. But in queer spaces, I know I’ll have a great time with my friends,” she explained.
Demi Lovato emphasized that being around queer people allows her to live authentically. “Queer people have a way of living so authentically that it makes me feel like I can live authentically,” she said.

Growing up in Dallas, Texas, Lovato faced challenges coming to terms with her identity. She recalled dealing with “a lot of religious shame” in addition to the difficulties of growing up queer in an absolutely conservative environment.
“Being a queer kid in Texas, I longed for people around me who made me feel safe to be myself,” she said. “Now, I get to go out, live authentically, and it feels amazing.”

Lovato’s personal life is also a source of happiness and inspiration. She recently married musician Jutes, and the couple’s relationship is reflected in the positivity she brings to her music.
Lovato loves how her songs resonate with LGBTQ+ fans. She recalled performing her track ‘Kiss’ at a queer party and being thrilled by the crowd’s reaction. “It went really great. I’m so happy with how everyone loved it,” she said.
Her upcoming album, ‘It’s Not That Deep’, reflects a lighter, more joyful phase of her life. “I’m in a place where my energy feels very light. I just got married. The tone of my life is lighter. I wanted a project that reflected that,” Lovato told the magazine.
