### Track by Track by Demi

Everything Now

“I think Everything Now might be my favorite song on the record, I wrote it when I was so overwhelmed with emotions in a new relationship I was in. I remember talking about this with Stuart in the studio, I shared how that guy made me feel. Then I came up with the lyric “you got me feeling everything now” which I think perfectly describes how overwhelmed I was in that relationship. A few hours later we wrote the entire song over this infectious disco beat and it turned out to be an absolute dancefloor anthem that I'm super proud of“

Midnight Dancers

“The lead single and the ultimate banger of this album, no doubt. It's hard hitting, it's intense but most of all it makes you wanna get up and dance, which made it the perfect song to begin the era with. More than anything I've made in the past, on this album and song in particular, I just wanted you to let go of all your worries and thoughts, just like in this dreamy storyline of two strangers falling in love overnight. It's the first song I wrote with Vargas and Lagola and the rest is history.”

Breathe On Me

“I wrote this song when I was really horny [laughs], it’s quite dark and sexy. On this album, I allowed myself to be sexual for the first time. I don't know why I didn't allow myself to feel free to write about sex before but I think that this freedom came with age and experience. Without being too explicit, I'm basically singing about wanting it hard and steamy with lyrics like ‘I wanna feel you breathe on me’.”

Electric Touch

“Electric Touch feels like a standout moment to me on the album, both because of its lyrical content and sound, which made me release it as the second single. I wrote this song with Swedish House Mafia, but it had different lyrics and concept, it was called Human Touch at first. Then I decided to rewrite most of the lyrics into the song you know today. It’s a very sexual song about being touched, and that feeling... electric [laughs]”

Body Language

“I’ve been very intrigued with the concept of body language as a whole over the past months. When I came to the session with SG Lewis, I knew I wanted to write a dance record about it. This song talks about trying to read someone’s behaviour to figure whether they’re interested in you and all the confusion included in that process. I think this one would be a lot of fun to perform since it’s such a fun and catchy pop song.

Lost In Your Eyes

“this one is really special, we wrote it with Agnes, which is Vincent’s wife (from Vargas & Lagola). It’s been really interesting to see them work together and witness their strong connection. The song talks about being so in love that the world just disappears when you’re together. Agnes helped me with background vocals on this track, which made it sound so warm and powerful.”

New Emotions

“That was actually one of the earliest songs that we wrote for the album which really helped shaped its sound. Linus played us these really cool strings that you hear in the chorus, and we knew it’s going to be an absolute banger. It was written when I dated someone that made me feel so special and worthy, and so many other emotions that i’ve never felt before. This track is all about having fun and feeling at your best”

Keep On Loving Me Baby

“I wrote this song about wanting to feel desired. In relationships, after a while the first spark and butterflies fade away, and your partner might show you less love and affection. I think relationships in general thrive when we are paying attention to each other's needs and worries because insecurities could potentially only grow in time and widen the cracks in the relationship. This track is a very funky, full of attitude yet a vulnerable moment on the album. We had so much fun writing it.”

Euphoria

“The energy in the room when we wrote this song was insane. It was me, Max Martin and Swedish House Mafia, and we worked on this really cool dance record. The song was pretty much done but we felt like the chorus was missing a punch. Then Max suggested that we sampled Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve. They did their thing with the production for a few minutes and the song was done, and then we danced to it for like an hour (laughs). The song itself is just a celebration of love and happiness”

Rhythm of Love

The title track pretty much sums up this entire year and album, I experienced love and happiness after this big heartbreak. I was going through so much during ‘The Storm’ era that I think this celebratory, carefree and fun part in me just desperately wanted to come out, and it very much did. This song celebrates love as whole over this really beautiful synthpop beat filled with strings which I adore. The lyrics in this one are probably the most vulnerable on the album, and the chorus is an explosion of emotions.
