Demi Lovato Talks Labels and Sexuality In New Documentary

The 'Tell Me You Love Me' singer is sick and tired of everyone labelling her...

Thursday, September 21, 2017 - 11:01

Demi Lovato isn't here for labels and is tired of her sexuality being made into headline news, okay?

Yesterday the 'Sorry Not Singer' singer spoke out against Brazil's recent approval of gay conversion therapy, encouraging fans to sign a petition that hopes to revert the heartbreaking decision that will hurt many LGBT+ people, and some media outlets totally missed the point and turned it into some age-old 'coming out' tabloid fodder.

Understandably, Demi isn't happy about this, saying "Just because I refuse to label myself for the sake of a headline doesn't mean I'm not going to stand up for what I believe in."

Now I'm out here looking like revenge
Feeling like a ten, the best I ever been
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt
To see me like this, but it gets worse (wait a minute)
Now you're out here looking like regret
Ain't too proud to beg, second chance you'll never get
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this
But it gets worse (wait a minute)

Now payback is a bad bitch
And baby, I'm the baddest
You fucking with a savage
Can't have this, can't have this (ah)
And it'd be nice of me to take it easy on you, but nah

Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Being so bad got me feeling so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned
Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that it burns

Baby, fineness is the way to kill
Tell me how it feel, bet it's such a bitter pill
And yeah, I know you thought you had bigger, better things
Bet right now this stings (wait a minute)
'Cause the grass is greener under me
Bright as technicolor, I can tell that you can see
And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this
But it gets worse

Now payback is a bad bitch
And baby, I'm the baddest
You fucking with a savage
Can't have this, can't have this (ah)
And it'd be nice of me to take it easy on you, but nah

Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Being so bad got me feeling so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Baby, I'm sorry (I'm not sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned
Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that it burns

Talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby
If you talk, if you talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby
Oh yeah
Talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby
If you talk, if you talk that talk, baby
Better walk, better walk that walk, baby, oh yeah

Baby, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
Baby, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
Being so bad got me feelin' so good
Showing you up like I knew that I would
Baby, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry
Baby, I'm sorry, I'm not sorry (sorry)
Feeling inspired 'cause the tables have turned (have turned)
Yeah, I'm on fire and I know that it burns
(So sorry, not sorry, not sorry)

The singer has never disclosed her sexuality - I mean, why should she have to? - and her annoyance with some media's obsession with labelling is 1) totally understandable, and 2) giving us everything.

Just because I'm refuse to label myself for the sake of a headline doesn't mean I'm not going to stand up for what I believe in.

She went on to say that "If you're that curious about my sexuality, watch my documentary. But I don't owe anybody anything." YES, DEMI!

This isn't the first time that she's publicly supported the LGBT+ community, or that her own sexuality was publicly questioned after her bicurious anthem 'Cool For The Summer' made headlines back in 2015.

It's ridiculous that there's still such a huge fascination with sexuality in 2017 and we just hope that Demi calling this out will make the exposé style of some media think twice.

Whether Demi is Cool For The 365 Days A Year, just for the summer or winter, it doesn't actually matter at all. We just hope she's happy, and we're glad that she feels confident (reference) to address it on her own terms.

If you're that curious about my sexuality, watch my documentary. But I don't owe anybody anything.
