“I’m so happy to be able to give a new life to ‘Heart Attack’ with a sound that reflects where I am with my music,” Lovato said in a statement in March about the rock version, which marked that single’s 10th anniversary. “This one is for the fans who have shown so much love to the song over the last decade, thank you for riding with me!”
Recently, Hulu announced that Lovato will be directing a documentary titled Child Stars, which is set to “deconstruct the highs and lows of growing up in the spotlight through the lens of some of the world’s most famous former child stars.”
“There is no better film or topic for my directorial debut than this story, which is close to home,” Lovato shared in a statement. “Our project sheds light on important messages about growing up in the public eye, learning to protect our boundaries, and becoming active advocates of our own destinies.”
