Overview

• “Fast,” released on August 1, marks Lovato’s first mainstream pop single in three years after staging a symbolic “funeral” for her earlier pop work.
• Produced by Zhone, the electro-pop track channels the synth-driven energy of hits like “Cool for the Summer” over a club-ready beat.
• The single serves as the lead preview of her forthcoming ninth studio album, which Rolling Stone says will embrace a celebratory dance-pop sound later this year.
• In the Daniel Sachon–directed video, Lovato strides through city streets as cars burn and fans spot references to her most iconic memes.
• Inspired by her recent marriage to Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, Lovato’s new era emphasizes lightness and uninhibited fun on and off the dance floor.
