Demi Lovato‘s upcoming Grammys performance will mark the fulfillment of a promise she made to herself after nearly dying from an overdose … so expect it to be very emotional.
The singer will perform at Sunday’s award show … her first live performance since suffering the OD in July 2018, and TMZ’s learned the song she’s chosen is deeply connected to that scary ordeal.
Our Grammys sources tell us … Demi wrote and recorded the song 4 days before her overdose, and the lyrics will reflect her state of mind during that time in her life.
We’re told it’s a “big ballad style” tune, and Lovato vowed while she was recovering in the hospital for months … it would be the first song she’d perform at a big venue if she ever got the chance again.
Sunday will be that big moment … and she’s taking advantage of her comeback opportunity. Along with performing the track on a huge stage, our sources say she’ll be releasing the single after the show. We’re not sure what the title is yet.
Demi’s Grammys gig will kick off a music revival for her. As we’ve reported … she’s also going to be singing the National Anthem one week later at Super Bowl LIV, and she plans to release a full-length studio album in the first half of 2020.
We’re told the new single will be included on the album.
