“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.

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.

Josh Levi and Normani have more in common that many know.

In addition to their resumes boasting respective stints on ‘X-Factor,’ the singer-songwriters are both breakout stars of groups and have called Houston, TX home at some points in their lives.

Their first collaboration came in late 2020 when the former Fifth Harmony hitmaker shined as the video vixen in his sizzling music video for ‘Don’t They’ – a tune found board his first solo project ‘Disc One.’ Now, with the June 10 release of its follow-up (aptly titled ‘Disc Two‘), Levi’s re-engaged the ‘Wild Side’ star to show her softer side on the remix to the romantic tune.

“Don’t they make love songs anymore? / Slow dance while you’re holding me / Slow jams till the morning,” she coos on the Jonah Christian-produced slow jam.

Having spent most of their career topping charts with Pop and R&B-leaning material, Demi Lovato stunned fans by unveiling news of a promise to return to “emo-Rock” for their next musical era – even “holding a funeral” to signify the death of the Pop run.

Holding true to the pledge, the GRAMMY nominee has spent the last few weeks teasing the first fruit of the new album ‘Holy Fvck’ (which is also set to be supported by a massive tour that kicks off this fall).

The OAK-produced first single, ‘Skin of My Teeth,’ not only packs quite the guitar-driven bite but is buoyed by some jaw-dropping lyrics that borrows from dark chapters of the singer-songwriter’s life – namely their highly publicized battle with drug addiction.

“Demi leaves rehab again / When is this shit gonna end? / Sounds like the voice in my head / I can’t believe I’m not dead,” Lovato wails on the new song.

“Wrapped around my finger, eatin’ booty from the bite (Ooh) / Booty make him cry, booty make a n*gga swipe / Booty walk him in the store and tell him, “Hurry up and buy it,” she spits on the Johnny Goldstein-produced bop.

A twerktastic affair that’s already been deemed by some as the ‘song of the summer,’ hop inside to hear it in full and see if it lives up to the hype.
