“Holy fvck” is undoubtedly what viewers of ‘Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ were saying once they got a load of Demi Lovato wailing ‘Skin of My Teeth’ via its first televised performance Thursday (June 9).

The new tune – which serves as the first single from Lovato’s August 19-due album ‘Holy Fvck’ – had barely made its way to digital shelves before the singer-songwriter was already pressing the gas on its promo.

When not wowing with the showing, Demi spoke candidly about ‘Holy’ during the inteview portion of their appearance.

“After going through even more stuff last year, I came out of treatment again, and I realized, like, I really want to do this for myself and I want to make the best album possible. Something that really represents who I am,” shared Lovato.

A return to their Rock roots, look inside to see the performance and sit-down chat in full.

Months and months after her breakthrough single ‘Hrs & Hrs’ became her first top 40 hit as a performer, the Muni Long tune is still reigning as a top 5 hit at R&B radio despite the singer-songwriter’s attempts to move music lovers on to her other material (i.e. ‘Another,’ ‘Pain,’ etc.). Her laterst bid in that stead comes via the Saweetie-assisted ‘Baby Boo.’

A dancefloor-ready ode to 90’s party starters, ‘Boo’ – reminiscent of Ghost Town DJ’s classic 1996 hit ‘My Boo’ – is a sugary sweet call from Muni & co. to an unsuspecting love interest.

“I love you, I love you /  I’m always thinkin’ of you / And no, it’s not a crush / Baby, I wanna lock you down (I wanna) / Ooh, I wanna cuff you,” Long croons on the Khaled Rohaim-produced jam.

Found aboard the deluxe edition of Long’s critically acclaimed ‘Public Displays of Affection’ EP, look inside to hear ‘Baby Boo’ in its entirety.
