Demi Lovato has told fans about a new album called It’s Not That Deep. It is Demi’s ninth studio album, and it will come out on October 24, 2025. It will be released through DLG Recordings and Island Records.

The artist has introduced two songs: "Fast" and "Here All Night." The new album is in a dance-pop format, according to Demi Lovato, and will sound different, more fun, and lighter, full of joy and energy. The album features 11 songs total. She said,

"This music is a perfect reflection of where I’m at today. I had such an incredible time making this album with Zhone and it was such a freeing experience to let loose and have fun with it."

What does Demi Lovato say about her upcoming album?

Demi Lovato says "It’s Not That Deep" represents a place she is in her life presently. Demi said the songs she had written prior were heavier, darker, and of course, they dealt with hard feelings and things in her life that she needed to heal and recover from. Now, she said,

"With my past eras, I often wrote cathartic music about heavy topics that I needed to process. When I got back in the studio this time around, those songs just weren’t resonating anymore because I’m not in that place in life."

The title It’s Not That Deep comes from this idea. Demi Lovato says,

"I’m happy, I’m in love, and I just want to enjoy life and have fun. I realized it’s not that deep anymore, and that became the ethos for this album. It’s Not That Deep is meant for late nights and dancefloors, and I can’t wait for you all to dance with me."

The sound of the album returns to pop and dance-pop. It is not like her last album, Holy Fvck (2022), which leaned more toward rock. The lead single β€œFast” came out on August 1, 2025 which has elements of EDM, dance-pop, and electropop. The next single, β€œHere All Night”, came out September 12, 2025.
