“Go on and try to tear me down,” she sings. “I will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper.”

In an interview on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, Lovato detailed her emotional journey while recording the track.

“I was doubled over, just in pain. I remember thinking, ‘This is kind of my cry for help’ back then, because I hadn’t spoken to anyone about these issues,” she said. “And I hadn’t gotten the help that I needed.”
