The story behind ‘Substance’ by Demi Lovato
During the Audacy Check In, Bru mentioned that the song obviously had a meaning behind it — and asked if Demi would explain.
Without hesitation, she preceded to explain the story behind her new single.
“I feel like we live in a world where it lacks so much depth. We’re all connecting through social media. We won’t see a friend for three years but we’ll be talking through social media all the time. That human connection is what we’re missing,” she explained.
“The content we consume is like trashy reality television, and it’s like ‘Where is the depth in this world?’ so that’s what I wrote substance about.”
