BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry
Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 29th June 2017, 10:28 PM
Looks like something from Demi Lovato will be out soon. The letters SNS have been updated on her social media.
Posted by: Ryan. 29th June 2017, 10:40 PM
Is she going to drop something on tomorrow's New Music Friday 
Posted by: Andrew. 29th June 2017, 11:30 PM
If she's got something in the line of Confident or Cool For The Summer then I'm looking forward to a bop but otherwise she can keep it tbh
Posted by: Liаm 30th June 2017, 12:54 AM
Omg hype she always delivers *.*
Posted by: mqh 30th June 2017, 06:35 AM
I don't have any recollection of the existence of Body Say whatsoever, so I hope this is more along the lines of Cool For The Summer (or even Heart Attack if she insists on going powerful again).

SNS - SORRY NOT SORRY?

If I was to compare the latest 3 seconds to anything, it gives me Dua Lipa - Hotter Than Hell teas

she actually looks really amazing on the cover, can't wait to hear this!
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 6th July 2017, 04:15 PM
You have to laugh at that cover though. She looks beautiful but I've never seen so much airbrush in all my life 😂
Posted by: SeanGrey 6th July 2017, 04:17 PM
Her left arm and the glitter reminded me a tad of this meme.
Posted by: John-James 6th July 2017, 04:20 PM
It's bubbles
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 6th July 2017, 04:36 PM
I can already tell Ryan's going to drop song lyrics into so many sentences 😭😭
Posted by: Ryan. 6th July 2017, 04:46 PM
sorry not sorry
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 6th July 2017, 06:15 PM
On a Tuesday?
Posted by: shattered_sanity 7th July 2017, 12:59 AM
Can see this easily being posted as a reaction to posts in here based on the title itself should be good.
Posted by: Liаm 7th July 2017, 01:04 AM
So hyped now we know the title and date *.*
Posted by: Ryan. 7th July 2017, 01:27 AM
Rumours are it is a Bonnie McKee co-write, Demi coming for her Teenage Dream *.*
Posted by: Neil 8th July 2017, 10:13 AM
It's got some weird tie in with Amazon Prime day.
Posted by: Ryan. 11th July 2017, 02:58 AM
I've stayed up hoping this comes out in like 3 minutes (and not 63 minutes!), new releases usually come out at 11pm ET on Fridays
Posted by: UltraRedLight 11th July 2017, 03:06 AM
Supposedly it's premiered somewhere but can't find it online yet!!
So ready for this, the benefits on being on holiday so it actually comes out at a good time for once!! *.*
Posted by: Ryan. 11th July 2017, 03:11 AM
Managed to get hold of the iTunes 30 second preview so far, serving some sort of gospel urban sound in the chorus
Posted by: Ryan. 11th July 2017, 03:17 AM
Apparently it sounds like Kehlani and also sounds like No Problem by Chance The Rapper but I've never heard either so can't comment 
Posted by: UltraRedLight 11th July 2017, 03:22 AM
Yeah I've been seeing the same along with early Ariana comparisons! Not heard either of those either but I keep seeing the chance comparison popping up
So excited for this *.*
Posted by: UltraRedLight 11th July 2017, 03:23 AM
I have a link!!!
This is sfg *.*
Posted by: Ryan. 11th July 2017, 03:32 AM
I have it too!
It's no 11/10 moment on first listen like Skyscraper, Heart Attack and Cool for the Summer all were but its very solid. The chorus is very instant, although my favourite part is the pre-chorus. I don't know if the production is letting it down a bit or if its just the version I have, it feels like it should be more BOOMING.
Still very good and sounds like a grower with its urban gospel sound, and Demi always makes sure her songs go somewhere and she does so again here with some big ad-libs at the end. People who aren't a fan of Demi's vocals certainly won't be a fan of this song.
Rumours are the video is coming soon so I look forward to the full package. Not sure it's a major hit, but will probably do a typical Demi single of low top 20 on the Hot 100 (purely based on first listen instinct of course), we shall see how it grows!
Another great single from Demi nevertheless, would give it an 8/10 at this stage - about on par with Neon Lights.
Posted by: UltraRedLight 11th July 2017, 03:35 AM
This is really growing already for me! Had it on repeat and I'd say I'd give it like 9.5/10 atm, I love her vocals on this so much and yeah I agree with your Hot 100 chart prediction for this!
Already preferring this to Body Say but I don't think this will ever touch the three 11/10's that you mentioned for me!
Posted by: Ryan. 11th July 2017, 03:45 AM
Oddly it reminds me a little of Jess Glynne's Ain't Got Far To Go (but better!)
Posted by: Cremey 11th July 2017, 06:42 AM
I can definitely understand the Kehlani/Chance comparisons.
Her voice is painful to listen to though (especially in the chorus), don't think I'll be returning to it...
Posted by: John-James 11th July 2017, 06:46 AM
Posted by: SGrey 11th July 2017, 08:17 AM
Anyone else getting painfully reminded of Jessica J?
Posted by: lordita 11th July 2017, 08:26 AM
jessie j and jess glynne comparisons? 
i'M SCARED TO LISTEN
Posted by: lordita 11th July 2017, 08:28 AM
this is very becky hill isn't it???? i think i like it????
Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 11th July 2017, 08:36 AM
Bleughhhhhhhh 
This is way too screechy and shouty for me.
Hopefully it grows but really not feeling it on first listen.
Posted by: Cameron 11th July 2017, 09:54 AM
This is pretty good, It's certainly no Heart Attack 
Posted by: Jonjo 11th July 2017, 09:57 AM
Def get the Jess Glynne 'Ain't Got Far To Go' comparison. Just with more oompf. I like it. It's catchy. I'm not sure if it's a hit or not, but hopefully it does something.
Posted by: SGrey 11th July 2017, 10:42 AM
One of her best for sure
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 11th July 2017, 11:41 AM
Already 13 on UK iTunes. Will go top 5 for sure by tonight.
Posted by: Davidson 11th July 2017, 11:52 AM
This is literally Chance's 'No Problems' with some Kehlani style verses thrown in for good measure.
I have to say I am enjoying it though due to me loving 'No Problems' so much.
Posted by: HarryEzra 11th July 2017, 11:54 AM
I like it on first listen but could either grow to love it or the complete opposite I feel
Posted by: Liаm 11th July 2017, 12:26 PM
This just doesn't suit her voice, really disappointed It would suit a smoother voice like Kehlani herself, Demi's power works on big pop songs but it comes off as screechy in this :/ Maybe it will grow but for now I'm not fussed.
Posted by: Shaphne 11th July 2017, 01:09 PM
She should be sorry for the way she just raped my ears. Are we sure she wasn't switched out for a dying cat on this?
Posted by: Andrew. 11th July 2017, 02:47 PM
This is awful, even for her I agree with others, the vocals come across as screechy and the song has nothing going for it. She finally gave me a couple bops last era so I'm disappointed
Posted by: travis 11th July 2017, 03:01 PM
I really enjoy this actually, but I'm also a fan of her screech-y vocals. I agree it's not her strongest lead single, but I think it's a nice change of pace for her. I'm interested to see the video and how the album's release will go down.
Posted by: Jack 11th July 2017, 03:59 PM
This is so disappointing
I wish Instruction was her actual lead single. Even Body Say was better than this.
Posted by: Liаm 11th July 2017, 04:30 PM
I normally love her vocals too but this just sounds like Jessie J We knew she was going down a more R&B route but Body Say did that just fine because her vocal style for that was just more sensual and restrained to suit it, but she sounds like a screaming goat at places in this..
Posted by: danG 11th July 2017, 04:33 PM
well I was going to listen to this because Instruction is great, but if she's reverted back to her screechy self then I'm not interested. :|
Posted by: Tyler 11th July 2017, 04:34 PM
I wish Instruction was her actual lead single. Even Body Say was better than this.
I still haven't even heard 'Body Say'.
(Sorry not sorry)

You are big time missing out!
Posted by: JosephStyles 11th July 2017, 05:38 PM
This is really good!! Can kinda understand some of the criticisms in here but I don't think the vocals in the chorus are bad at all. The verses are better though I'd say.
Posted by: cq(uavo)merqn 11th July 2017, 07:31 PM
US 
01. Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry
UK 06. Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry
Posted by: burbe 11th July 2017, 07:34 PM
This is VERY Kehlani! Not a bad thing though, love Kehlani. I just find Demi's voice too screechy in the chorus. But the verses are fab
Posted by: mdh 11th July 2017, 07:39 PM
This is quite good I guess - I think it'll do similarly to Ain't My Fault by Zara did, I can see myself hating this eventually.
Posted by: ML Hammer95 11th July 2017, 07:44 PM
The Bryson Tiller song of the same name is much better.
Posted by: blacksquare 11th July 2017, 10:06 PM
Her voice
No thanks to it all
Posted by: SGrey 11th July 2017, 10:24 PM
We knew she was going down a more R&B route but Body Say did that just fine because her vocal style for that was just more sensual and restrained to suit it, but she sounds like a screaming goat at places in this..I'm glad someone else gets the Jessie J comparisons!
With Demi I've never been overly impressed with her leads but subsequent singles have been on point so hoping she's got something good up her sleeve!
Posted by: jase. 11th July 2017, 11:35 PM
Love the random Bryson plug
Posted by: Mrs. Potts 12th July 2017, 10:29 AM
Hasn't Demi's voice always been rly annoying tho? 
It's alright tbh and I'll probably go back to it a bit but I'm never going to love it like most of her songs for me - they just don't click with me (aside from Skyscraper )
Posted by: Ryan. 14th July 2017, 01:37 AM
The lyric video has premiered via Demi's Instagram live story believe it or not! It's quite clever actually
Posted by: Andrew. 14th July 2017, 02:00 AM
I actually quite like this now HELP ME
Posted by: Liаm 14th July 2017, 02:09 AM
This is growing on me a fair bit too tbh but I think it's still the weakest of her singles for me, Neon Lights is probably next at like a 7.5/10 and the rest are 8+ as her singles discog is so strong! I'm getting used to the chorus a bit more so it might at least leapfrog Neon Lights.
Posted by: Andrew. 14th July 2017, 02:15 AM
Neon Lights is my favourite Demi song!
Addmitedly that's out of five I even like (this, Neon Lights, La La Land, Confident and Heart Attack) though
Posted by: all is vanity. 14th July 2017, 07:35 AM
Not bad.
Posted by: Ryan. 14th July 2017, 08:26 PM
Demi and Selena just had the cutest exchange on Twitter!

Demi: My record label has said Selena has a new single out and it would be good if I acknowledged her.
Selena: Yes much single, Fetish. Sorry not Sorry good. My record label has advised you and your fans enjoy the word Slay. So Slay.
Posted by: Ryan. 14th July 2017, 11:59 PM
Don't be all ATRL on us Martyn! Let's just imagine this is a cute spontaneous exchange from two former best friends who were our childhood stars
Posted by: shattered_sanity 15th July 2017, 06:08 PM
Sounds a little average but it's alright.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 15th July 2017, 06:24 PM
I gave this a second proper listen and I actually really like it!
Posted by: Ryan. 15th July 2017, 06:28 PM
This seems to be doing VERY well on Spotify and having surprising longevity in both the UK and the US so far, I think this could become her biggest hit!
Posted by: jase. 17th July 2017, 07:09 PM
I couldn't actually get through it on first listen. Those vocals had my ears BLEEDING. 
Posted by: Jack 17th July 2017, 10:13 PM
After initially writing this off, it's growing on me rapidly, such a good song!
Posted by: Andrew. 17th July 2017, 10:17 PM
I'm also loving this now! It's a real anthem and I actually like her vocals for once Maybe I'll actually get behind her this era, I feel slightly ashamed tbh
Posted by: Tombo 18th July 2017, 10:18 AM
This incredible, she slays! It is an awesome empowerment anthem. Tell them haters I'm sorry I ain't sorry!
Posted by: Ryan. 19th July 2017, 03:01 PM
Screaming that Hannah Lux Davis has used the same neon colour schemes yet again in this video but I do love neon so it's fine by me! Really enjoyable video, I thought the talking interludes would annoy me but there isn't that much and it extends the love party feel. This video would have been even more suited to Cool for the Summer than the (great) video that it got.
And the ending is iconic!
(Video will be on YouTube in an hour and is already out on Apple Music US)
Posted by: Ryan. 19th July 2017, 03:03 PM
And her current image and styling is her best ever
Posted by: Ryan. 19th July 2017, 04:26 PM
Posted by: *Tim 19th July 2017, 04:37 PM
I really like her looks in that video, but omg that screechfest of a chorus, I cant
Posted by: liamk97 19th July 2017, 05:52 PM
I feel the same. The video is much better than the song (aside from the awful "Demi threw a house party and we made a music video" tag line as if we're meant to believe it was totally spontaneous). I'm sure it'll be catchy enough on a night out but, away from that, you can keep it.
Posted by: Josh! 19th July 2017, 05:53 PM
The video does it's job nicely, it's nice to see her looking so confident too. The song is massively growing on me too, it might have been a bit nicer on the ears if she had reined it in a bit but it's fun to lip sync to if I'm being honest () and it's well catchy so I can't complain.
However, I'm not so keen on the product placement in the video or the talking clips, at least pause the song in the background and insert other clips, don't just talk over it! 
Posted by: Ryan. 19th July 2017, 05:55 PM
I guess the talking will stop anyone YouTube ripping it!
Posted by: Cremey 19th July 2017, 06:24 PM
PARIS HILTON
The song is trash though.

I liked the bit at the end.

Who knows!
When DENA makes a listenable song then come back
Posted by: jase. 19th July 2017, 09:03 PM
I watched the video because I thought I'd try and give the song another chance...NO. JUST NO. How can anybody possibly listen to that and enjoy it? It sounds like Jessie J on a bad day 
(I love Demi normally, so I'm just really disappointed )
Posted by: WallIsSoGood 19th July 2017, 09:41 PM

I swear the SNS video is just a crapper version of the CFTS vid?
Posted by: Cameron 19th July 2017, 11:05 PM
Demi just seems like she is going through a bit of an identity crisis right now...
Posted by: Ryan. 19th July 2017, 11:12 PM
I'm not really sure she's ever had a musical identity except for her first 2 albums which were an extension of her Camp Rock identity. She hasn't really stuck to a sound from 3rd album onwards, just high quality but admittedly quite faceless pop bar Skyscraper. But Demi's fantastic vocals (even if not to everyone's tastes) overcome the sometimes generic material to make it a Demi song.
Selena's found her identity very well since Heart Wants What It Wants but I did find Revival a bit samey and less appealing than her pure pop with The Scene. I never get bored with Demi as you never know what to expect next.
Posted by: Cameron 19th July 2017, 11:12 PM
Also I am dying at the Paris Hilton, Jamie Foxx and Wiz Khalifa(?) cameo's
Posted by: Liаm 19th July 2017, 11:16 PM
Tbf I think this is more her thing, she always said she wanted to do a more R&B album. But I don't feel it suits her as much, her voice just isn't really right for it.
Posted by: troylovesmusic 20th July 2017, 12:27 AM
I must be one of the only ones on here that actually genuinely likes this ? and I'm not really a Demi fan but I'm digging this !
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th July 2017, 12:35 AM
Yeah I absolutely love this, can't get enough right now. Sorry not sorry (
)
Posted by: සුනු# 20th July 2017, 08:31 AM
It's not bad, I do prefer Demi Popato but this is alright and it's nice to hear her go in a different direction (preferably temporarily though)
Posted by: *Tim 20th July 2017, 09:59 AM
This is pop tho
Posted by: Jonjo 20th July 2017, 01:14 PM
I too, am really loving this! Love the vibrant, neon-y colours in the video (my weakness for music videos tbh). She looks so good too!
Surprised more people aren't loving this tbh.
Posted by: Cameron 20th July 2017, 01:15 PM
I'm loving it though, the chorus is the type of thing you want to hear when drunk
Posted by: RobBob 20th July 2017, 07:08 PM
I'm cringing at this whole thing and the video really is just picking up the scraps from CFTS. She's just... not a star.
Posted by: Tombo 21st July 2017, 07:43 AM
I love it too, there are some really horrible comments in this thread but I know the song is amazing and I am glad to have her back as a lead artist!
Posted by: Tyler 21st July 2017, 08:32 PM
The video is good minus the ending. Unnecessary with the current political climate. Lmao. She looks fantastic, there's that. Cameos seemed a bit unneeded.
Song: 5/10
Video: 6.5/10
