Track Review: Demi Lovato - Confident



Demi Lovato has previously said that her new album showcases her "badass" side and now, she has given us a glimpse with her new single Confident. The song sums up all the the intentions Demi has, with her new album, of telling the world that she is no longer the coy and cutesy teen she used to be, she has matured. After showing us the sexual side of her maturity with Cool For The Summer which I really enjoyed, Demi declares her unquenchable ambition to "run the show" and how she is "the boss right now" with Confident.

The song begins promisingly with blaring trumpets setting the song's triumphant mood. The booming bass-drum beats and snapping fingers kick in next. When Demi's voice enters the mix, I'm all ready for a catchy little tune. Though the song is fairly hooking, it left me disappointed. It is not a song that can be listened to on repeat. Hearing Demi sing lyrics like "Bitch, I run the show" is worth revisiting though.

Confident is a sassy statement and serves Demi's purpose of expressing her ambition and confidence, but is nowhere as well-written or catchy as Cool For The Summer which had gotten me excited for her album.

Rating: 6/10
