On their Story, the hitmaker wrote, 'a new era has arrived' and added, 'i know i shouldn't have kept you waiting … but i'm here now.'
Lovato has been getting fans hyped for 'Fast' for weeks, sharing snippets of the summery track on social media. Over a punchy electronic beat, the Camp Rock star sings softly on the song, 'I wanna go fast/ I wanna go hard/ I wanna go anywhere, anywhere you are.'
The song is expected to be just the first piece in Lovato's pop-music homecoming after they previously disavowed the genre in favor of rock on 2022's Holy Fvck. Lovato later followed that album up with Revamped, an LP of her past pop hits reimagined as punk bangers.
This year, however, the singer has promised fans a return to form, as teased in a recent Rolling Stone exclusive. The publication reported that Lovato has a 'celebratory dance-pop' full-length in the works with producer Zhone, who revealed, 'This album is about letting inhibitions go, and we had so much fun making this music!'

Justin Bieber's son Jack makes adorable cameo in new music video
Justin and Hailey Bieber's son is making his creative debut. In the black-and-white music video for "Yukon," which Justin Bieber released on Instagram Aug. 5, the family of three – which includes the nearly 1-year-old Jack Blues Bieber – frolic on a yacht and in the sea. A diapered Jack plays in the water and gets his toes kissed by his heavily tattooed dad. In another scene, the three are cuddled up on the boat as Justin holds his son with one arm and Hailey kisses his left shoulder. Later, Hailey embraces Jack in the water as droplets streaming down the lens strategically cover the toddler's face, with Jack pointing at the camera. Watch Justin Bieber's 'Yukon' music video: At one point in the music video, Justin and Hailey share a close embrace. In between shots of his family time, Justin dances across the edge of the boat, sings straight at director Cole Bennett's camera and moodily croons while gazing at the floor. "We shot this a couple weeks back over the course of a few days in Spain & Italy," wrote Bennett on Instagram. "Shot on FX3 & GoPro, printed on 16mm film. I'll remember these memories for the rest of my life. Thank you for everything @lilbieber @haileybieber 🤍" A post shared by Cole Bennett (@colebennett) 'Swag' is out: How Justin Bieber rolled out his surprise drop "Yukon" is the third track off Bieber's latest album, "Swag," and the first song to get the music video treatment. The 31-year-old has interspersed references to his wife and son throughout the surprise release project and featured them in some of the imagery for the record. The YouTube sensation-turned-popstar also appears to comment on the status of his seven-year marriage with the Rhode founder in some of his lyrics. In "Walking Away," he pushes back on the rumor mill with thinly-veiled messages: "Baby, I ain't walking away/ You are my diamond, gave you a ring/ I made you a promise; I told you I'd change/ It's just human nature, these growing pains/ And baby, I ain't walking away." Then in "Go Baby," he sings: "When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face/ Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain/ Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break/ Don't need to pretend that you're OK."
