"Confident"
The first song we were played was the title track "Confident" and is full of horns and cheerleading percussion. We were also watching Demi throughout the playback and she was l.i.v.i.n.g. for this song. She even asked the sound people to turn it up.
Compared to the 'leak' that appeared few weeks back, this version sounded a bit more polished. Regardless, this song is a banger and certainly sets the tone for the album. And, when asked about the video, Demi slyly let slip that the clip was all about "strong women". Our faves!
For You
Demi described this one as a "power ballad from the future" and good grief it's certainly that! According to Demetria, this was the first song that the singer worked on with Max Martin and it incorporates the rocky vocals, soulful trills and a sh*t loads of pop production. We've written in our notes that the pre-chorus was amazing and a bit in the chorus where Demi sings "I put my fist through a wall", which we thought was good. The middle-eight was super spacey, too, and there were some MAJOR vocals towards the end. Runs and trills for dayz! In fact, we'd go so far as to call this the best from the bunch.
Lionheart
Before we were played this song, Demi spoke about how she wrote it a year ago but how, after the tragic death of her puppy, Buddy, the song had taken on new meaning. The poor thing started crying before the song started to play. It was quite emotional, tbh.
Anyway, "Lionheart" is a MASSIVE ballad that has the lyric "you're the brightest moon; I am safe" in it, which we thought was quite poetic. The chorus also had this chord progression that changed from minor to major, which gave the whole thing a really nice, uplifting vibe.
Waitin For You
This was the sassiest song we heard and probably the sassiest song that Demi has ever recorded. Before it played, she quickly said, "I don't want you to listen to it and be like, 'God, you're a bitch'." However, she quickly went on to explain that like her faves Rihanna and Nicki Minaj, she wasn't afraid to be a "bad bitch" and speak her mind.
Anyway, the song itself started off with sultry synths and R&B clicks, while Demi cooed her melody in her newly adopted breathy vocal. For us, the best bit of the song was when she sang, "f*ck my bad habits you act like you don't have none". Yes Demi, serve that sass. The song also features Demi's friend and rapper Sirah, who has the line "Bitch, I thought you heard I was coming for your title", which we loved.
As Demi said to us, there aren't a lot of female singers singing about being the baddest bitches in town.
Stone Cold
The last song Demi played us, "Stonecold" was the most traditional 'Demi Lovato' song of the bunch. Opening with a solitary piano, the verses displayed a honest vulnerability to Demi's voice before swelling into the chorus. It kinda reminded us of Target only bonus track from Demi "I Hate You; Don't Leave Me" in the best possible way.
The song is all about coming to terms with your ex's new relationship, which surely anyone can relate to. There's also a heartbreakingly sad lyric in the song that goes "If happy is her, then I'm happy for you". *SOBS UNCONTROLLABLY*
Towards the end of the song, Demi serves up some vocal runs that were so incredible that we let out a quite "yass", only to look and see that she had heard us and that she was laughing at us (she later called us cute, so we're ok with it now). In our notes we've quite literally written "slay".

Nnnnnnnnnnnn. Don't come for me, I just found it funny. 
I won't lie though, I definitely didn't want as many ballads either originally. The way she spoke about the album I thought it was going to be an album filled with 85% sexy, uptempo bops with a few ballads thrown in. For You and Stone Cold sound fantastic though so I guess I will deal. Seriously hope basically everything else is uptempo though.  Yes is almost surely a ballad too.

What if Demi pulls a Bad Blood and have Beyonce on the vid as one of the 'strong women'! That would explain all the #Yonce posts. or it could be Nicki and Rih since she keeps talking about how "Confident" they are. It also explains why Demi is one of Nicki's 'gals' on the post-VMA post on instagram.
