As we reported here, World Suicide Prevention Day 2020 (September 10) brought with it ‘OK Not to be OK’ – the uplifting new single from Demi Lovato and Marshmello.
“It’s okay not to be okay/ It’s okay not to be okay/ When you’re down and you feel ashamed/ It’s okay not to be okay,” Lovato sings on the tune’s inspiring chorus.
Designed to build awareness for Hope For The Day (HFTD) – a non-profit movement empowering the conversation on proactive suicide prevention and mental health education – the song comes as Lovato’s latest effort to bring special attention to mental health-related matters.
The day of its release she took to Instagram to say:
“Since a young age I’ve dealt with suicidal thoughts and depression. I’ve been very vocal in raising the awareness of mental health because it is possible to see the light when you start the work on yourself. I’m living proof that you never have to give into those thoughts. I’ve had many days where I’ve struggled but please let this song be an anthem to anyone who needs it right now.”
Her heartfelt message apparently resonated with many as peruse of the refreshed Hot 100 reveals the tune made a promising premiere in the top 40.
Details inside:
Debuting at #36, ‘OK’s inaugural placement comes as Lovato’s 17th time appearing in the Hot 100’s top 40 with her last entrance in the chart region coming courtesy of Sam Smith‘s ‘I’m Ready’ (which arrived in April 2020).
As we celebrate the latest career win for the powerhouse vocalist, look below to see who joins her on this week’s TGJ Chart Check.
This song is going to be a sleeper hit for Demi like Give Your Heart A Break was. Haters can’t block or clock talent! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
She’s a good vocalist but her career is very middle of the road
She needs to switch it up.
We are tired of these self love anthems.
She’s not a huge success neither is she a flop
She’s just in the middle.
Compare her to her fellow Disney counterparts, selena, ariana, miley, jonas brothers. Etc who are huge.
Dumba**. Selena’s last 4 singles didn’t even chart.
And?
But she scored her first number one song
And her album hit number one
Selena last single was ice cream and it peaked at number 13
Dùmb àss
U didnt take ur meds today onlyflops
Clarkson you’re not the beat one to talk about flops or not your fav is by no means a top girl at all especially after her disaster of an era. Ouch!
This is a good song for the top 40. I like the message.
Nobody cares about this p**. She’s literally the second coming of Christina PIGTina Aguilera….but without the hits 🤣
