Demi Lovato has released a new song, “Dancing With the Devil.” The track comes off her upcoming album Dancing With the Devil…The Art of Starting Over, out April 2nd via Island Records.

On the vulnerable, soaring anthem, Lovato sings about temptation, crooning, “I told you I was OK but I was lying/I was dancing with the Devil out of control/Almost made it to heaven/It was closer than you’ll know/It’s so hard to say no when you’re dancing with the Devil.”
