If you're a true Demi Lovato fan, then you know that she is an emo kid at heart — she even sang Paramore's "Misery Business" at last year's Emo Nite LA. Now, she's released an emo remix of her new song "I Love Me" and it features blink-182's Travis Barker — so grab your eyeliner, because this might just resurrect/reawaken your scene kid soul.
In the new version of "I Love Me," Lovato, along with Barker, transform the original pop song into the jam of your inner emo kid's dreams with punk guitars and pounding drums. And as if the remix wasn't enough, Demi shared an equally amazing lyric video centered around Myspace, which aside from maybe Xanga, was the ultimate social media site, especially if you listened to this genre of music 24/7/365.
In the new "I Love Me (Emo Remix)" lyric video, fans are reminded of the glory days of Myspace, filling out your "About Me" section, leaving comments on friends' pages, what the social media site's version of a "DM" looked like, and customizing the animated backgrounds — many millennials' foray into the world of coding and HTML. Basically, this video will take you right back to 2005, and it's, honestly, everything.
When she first announced the new version of the song, Demi shared on her social media accounts, "#ILoveMebut make it... emo?" She also thanked Travis Barker for being a part of the remix, writing, "Shout out to @travisbarker for jumping on my song."
Demi released the original version of "I Love Me" back in March, which followed her emotional single "Anyone." And, most recently, she joined Sam Smith on the uplifting "I'm Ready," which will be featured on his new upcoming album.
