[Verse 1]
Demi leaves rehab again
When is this shit gonna end?
Sounds like the voice in my head
I can't believe I'm not dead
[Chorus]
I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
I survived, but it got harder to breathe
Askin' why doesn't make it easier
Go easier on me
Goddamn it, I just wanna be free
But I can't 'cause it's a fuckin' disease
I'm alive by the skin of my—
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-hoo, ooh
Woo-hoo, ooh
[Verse 2]
The reaper knocks on my door
'Cause I'm addicted to more
I don't need you to keep score
When I'm the one who's at war
[Chorus]
I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
I survived, but it got harder to breathe
Askin' why doesn't make it easier
Go easier on me
Goddamn it, I just wanna be free
But I can't 'cause it's a fuckin' disease
I'm alive by the skin of my—
[Bridge]
I'm just tryin' to keep my head above water
I'm your son and I'm your daughter
I'm your mother, I'm your father
I'm just a product of the problem
I'm just tryin' to keep my head above water
I'm your son and I'm your daughter
I'm your mother, I'm your father
I'm alive
[Chorus]
I'm alive by the skin of my teeth
Won't you try and have some mercy on me?
Askin' why doesn't make it easier
Go easier on me
Goddamn it, I just wanna be free
But I can't 'cause it's a fuckin' disease
I'm alive by the skin of my—
[Post-Chorus]
Woo-hoo, ooh (Hey, yeah)
Woo-hoo, ooh (I'm alive by)
Woo-hoo, ooh (The skin of my teeth)

The writing process for me was really easy, the lyrics just flowed out of me and my co-writers Lil Aaron and Laura Veltz. we all had an incredible time working on this song and we’re so excited to make an anthem for people that struggle with addiction

Yes, [this song] is [rock and roll]. It’s definitely a change of pace for me. But I’m also going back to my roots, because that’s what I started singing when I released my first album, [Don’t Forget], and my second album, [...
When asked this in an interview with Billboard, Demi explained,
It’s very important to me to celebrate Pride. The way that all of this happened wasn’t intentional, that “SKIN OF MY TEETH” is releasing during Pride – originally the single was supposed to come out several weeks ago, but we had to pus...
Yes, a Vevo Footnotes video was posted on Demi’s YouTube channel on July 6th, 2022:
I wanted to make an anthem for people in recovery from addiction. I wanted to humanize the disease for people who’ve never experienced it and don’t understand it.
