After weeks of building excitement surrounding her comeback with a vibrant new single titled “Fast”, which is infused with EDM elements, the pop sensation has revealed that the track is scheduled for release on Friday, August 1st. This exciting announcement came through a captivating Instagram post on Monday, July 28th, where Lovato shared images from what looks to be a dynamic music video shoot, accompanied by the playful caption, “me when i serve my favorite dish… FAST OUT FRIDAY 8.1.”

This year, Lovato has reassured her fans of a triumphant return, as highlighted in a recent exclusive article from Rolling Stone. The publication disclosed that Lovato is working on a full-length album characterized by a “celebratory dance-pop” sound, collaborating with acclaimed producer Zhone. He enthusiastically shared, “This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music!” This indicates a positive and liberating direction for Lovato’s new music.
