Anyone (Demi Lovato song)
"Anyone" is a song by American singer Demi Lovato. It was written by Lovato, Dayyon Alexander Drinkard, Eyelar Mirzazadeh, Sam Roman, and Warren "Oak" Felder, and produced by Drinkard, Roman, and Felder. The song was recorded just four days before Lovato's overdose in July 2018 and was intended to be a plea for help.
The song is a ballad, driven primarily by piano and Lovato's vocals. Lyrically, "Anyone" expresses feelings of isolation, desperation, and a desire for connection and assistance during a period of deep struggle. The lyrics convey a sense of feeling abandoned and unheard despite actively reaching out for support.
"Anyone" was first performed live at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards on January 26, 2020, marking Lovato's first major performance since her overdose. The performance was highly emotional and widely praised for its vulnerability and rawness.
The song was officially released as a single on January 27, 2020, following the Grammy Awards performance. It was included on Lovato's seventh studio album, Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over (2021). "Anyone" received critical acclaim for its powerful lyrics and Lovato's vocal delivery, with many critics noting its emotional depth and the significance of its creation preceding Lovato's hospitalization.
