Dancing with the Devil ... The Art of Starting Over is Demi’s 7th studio album. The 19-track album delves into her personal struggles with addiction, relapsing and her relationships.
On the album, Demi teamed up with pal Ariana Grande for hit track “Met Him Last Night.” The duo, Demi shared, have a special bond and reconnected when Lovato consulted Ari about teaming up with manager
Scooter Braun.
“We hadn’t seen each other in a minute and it was good to catch up with her, but I also wanted to connect with her because I was looking for new management and there’s a certain energy that some women have in the industry, like, they’ll be your friends, but they want let you use their glam team or whatever,” Demi explained. “It’s a little competition. … So, I wanted to make sure — I knew that I wanted Scooter to be my manager; I knew I wanted to take a meeting with him, … but I also didn’t know how to approach that with Ariana,” Demi added. “… We’re not super similar, but we’re both females in the pop industry around the same age and so I thought it was important we have a conversation about it and she’s just the most supportive. She’s the type of person that will give you her glam squad and then some and then her manager.”
