Confidence Demi Lovato Lyrics: A Music Artist’s Perspective

OYWM – Hey there, my friend! As a fellow music artist who loves to travel, I’ve been completely obsessed with Demi Lovato’s latest album and the powerful message behind her “Confidence” lyrics. You know I’m all about embracing self-love and empowerment, and this track really hits the nail on the head.

Lyrics

Are you ready?
Ha

It’s time for me to take it, I’m the boss right now
Not gonna fake it, not when you go down
‘Cause this is my game
And you better come to play (Come to play)
I used to hold my freak back, now I’m lettin’ go
I make my own choice, bitch, I run this show (Bitch)
So leave the lights on
No, you can’t make me behave (Ha, ha, ha)

(Oh-oh-oh)
So, you say I’m complicated
That I must be out my mind
But you’ve had me underrated, rated, rated (Uh-huh)

What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)
What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)

It’s time to get the chains out, is your tongue tied up?
‘Cause this is my ground and I’m dangerous
And you can get off
But it’s all ’bout me tonight (Tonight, ha, ha, ha)

(Oh-oh-oh)
So, you say I’m complicated
That I must be out my mind
But you’ve had me underrated, rated, rated (Uh-huh)

What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh, yeah)
What’s wrong with being (Yeah), what’s wrong with being (Yeah)
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)
What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)
What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)

Uh-huh
Hey
Ah, yeah

So, you say I’m complicated
But you’ve had me underrated
Yeah, yeah (Uh-huh)

What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being (What’s wrong with being)
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)
What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Oh, yeah, uh-huh)
What’s wrong with being, what’s wrong with being (What’s wrong with being)
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)
What’s wrong with being (Oh), what’s wrong with being
What’s wrong with being confident? (Uh-huh)

Confident

Let me break it down for you:

The Lyrics

The opening lines of “Confidence” are just chef’s kiss:

“I used to hide from the world Feeling like I wasn’t good enough But now I’m stepping out of the shadows Embracing all that I’m made of”

I mean, come on, how relatable is that? We’ve all been there, feeling insecure and like we’re not worthy of the spotlight. But Demi is throwing that all out the window and owning her confidence. And that’s exactly the kind of energy I want to bring to my own music and performances.

Throughout the lyrics, she touches on some really powerful themes:

1. Self-acceptance: “I am not my mistakes, I am not the bad things people say”
2. Embracing your flaws: “I’m not perfect, but I’m worth it”
3. Ignoring the haters: “I don’t care what you think, I’m done with the doubt”

It’s like she’s speaking directly to my heart, you know? As artists, we’re constantly putting ourselves out there and facing criticism, but Demi is reminding us to stay true to ourselves and not let the negativity bring us down.

The Message

When I first heard “Confidence,” I was just blown away by the message. It’s not just a catchy pop song – it’s a movement. Demi is using her platform to inspire people to love themselves, flaws and all.

Here’s a key lyric that really sums it up:

“This is my life, this is my story I’m not afraid, I’m taking over”

That’s the kind of mentality I want to cultivate, both in my music and in my life. No more playing it safe or worrying about what other people think. It’s time to step into our power and show the world who we really are.

And you know what’s really cool? Demi is backing up these lyrics with action. She’s been so open about her own struggles with mental health and body image, and she’s using her voice to destigmatize these issues. That’s the kind of artist I aspire to be – one who uses their platform to make a real, positive impact.

The Inspiration

As I was listening to “Confidence” on repeat (because let’s be real, that’s the only way to listen to it), I couldn’t help but think about how I could apply these themes to my own music and creative journey. Here’s what I came up with:

Lyrical Theme	How I Can Apply It
Self-acceptance	Embrace my unique style and sound, even if it doesn’t fit the mainstream mold.
Embracing flaws	Highlight the rawness and imperfections in my vocals and songwriting – that’s what makes it authentic.
Ignoring the haters	Focus on the fans who get me and my message, rather than worrying about the critics.

And you know what else? Demi’s words have really inspired me to be more unapologetic in my travels, too. I’m done hiding behind a carefully curated Instagram feed or trying to fit into other people’s expectations of what a “traveling musician” should be.

From now on, I’m going to embrace all the quirks and messiness that come with my nomadic lifestyle. If I want to wear funky outfits and dance in the middle of a crowded street in a new city, you bet I’m going to do it. Because that’s the kind of confident, carefree artist I want to be.

The Call to Action

Alright, my friend, here’s the bottom line: if you’re feeling stuck in a rut or like you’re not living up to your full potential, I highly recommend giving “Confidence” a listen. Let Demi’s powerful lyrics wash over you and remind you that you are worthy.

Here are a few ways you can put this message into action:

1. Make a self-love playlist: Fill it with songs that make you feel empowered and unstoppable. “Confidence” should definitely be at the top of the list.
2. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone: Whether it’s trying a new travel destination, performing at an open mic night, or just rocking an outfit that makes you feel like a badass, do something that scares you a little.
3. Surround yourself with supportive people: Ditch the naysayers and anyone who brings you down, and instead, find your tribe of fellow confidence-boosting babes.

Remember, my friend, we are not our mistakes or the negative things people say about us. We are strong, we are resilient, and we are worthy of all the love and success in the world. So let’s embrace our confidence, own our stories, and show the world what we’re made of.

Who’s with me?
