For their first solo release in 18 months, American singer-songwriter Demi Lovato dropped the emotional track, “Anyone,” as their comeback single shortly before their debut performance of the song at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. In the vulnerable ballad, Demi can be heard crying for help as they talk about wanting someone to be there through the tough times with them.

Speaking to Zane Lowe in an interview on Apple Music’s New Music Daily, Demi recalled that no one had helped them with their struggles back when they wrote and recorded the song days before her drug overdose back in July of 2018:

I almost listen back and hear these lyrics as a cry for help. [And] you kind of think, “How did nobody listen to this song and think, ‘Let’s help this girl’.”

[Back then,] I was recording [the song] in a state of mind where I felt like I was OK — but clearly I wasn’t. I even listen back to it and I’m like, “Gosh, I wish I could go back in time to help that version of myself.”

Lovato’s GRAMMY performance of the track was first teased back in December 4, 2019, via Instagram with the caption, “The next time you hear from me, I’ll be singing….” Weeks later, on January 14, 2020, their performance of the then-unnamed song was announced.

According to the ‘music insider’ who had correctly confirmed Lovato’s GRAMMY performance, the song will not serve as the lead single from their upcoming seventh studio album. This was previously pointed out by fans after discovering that the song has not been officially sent to radio.
