‘Sorry To Myself’, the fifth track from ‘It’s Not That Deep’, serves as an intensely self aware apology and moment of reckoning for Demi.
The song directly addresses the damage done by her own negative inner voice, admitting she was her own “favorite hater” and possibly acknowledging the public’s p...
[Intro]
(I'm sorry to myself)
[Verse 1]
I could point fingers at everyone else
But sooner or later, it lands on myself
My mistakes have made mistakes of their own
(Own, own, o-o-o-own)
Doubling down like it's second nature
I beat you to it, I was my favorite hater
But I'm tired, now I'm flirting with hope
(Hope, hope, ho-ho-ho-hope)
[Pre-Chorus]
I was the king of pain
I always found a new way to complain
And they say, "When you gonna change, honey?
When you gonna face it?
Why you gotta waste it?"
[Chorus]
I'm sorry to myself
For lying in the mirror, saying, "Ooh, this is love"
For lying in the mirror, pouring salt in the cut
I'm sorry to myself
For doing a number, saying, "Ooh, toughen up"
For buying what you sell, I'm sorry to myself
[Verse 2]
It's funny how the world looks in a pink cloud
I'm glowing from the inside and laughing out loud
When the rain hits
Yeah, don't forget this
[Pre-Chorus]
I was the king of pain
I always found a new way to complain
And they say, "When you gonna change, honey?
When you gonna face it?
Why you gotta waste it?"
[Chorus]
I'm sorry to myself
For lying in the mirror, saying, "Ooh, this is love"
For lying in the mirror, pourin' salt in the cut
I'm sorry to myself
For doing a number, saying, "Ooh, toughen up"
For buying what you sell, I'm sorry to myself
[Bridge]
Sorry for the starving, sorry for the burnout
Sorry for that one ex who always broke me down
Sorry for the hurting, but love how it turned out, oh
I'm sorry to myself (I'm sorry to myself)
I'm sorry to myself (I'm sorry to myself)
[Outro]
Sorry for the starving, sorry for the burnout
I'm sorry to myself
Sorry for the hurting, but love how it turned out (I'm sorry to myself)
Sorry for the starving, sorry for the burnout
I'm sorry to myself
Sorry to Myself was written by Demi Lovato & Zhone & Justin Tranter & KIDDO.
Sorry to Myself was produced by Zhone.
Demi Lovato released Sorry to Myself on Fri Oct 24 2025.
There’s songs like ‘Sorry to Myself,’ too, which is another party moment but has a really powerful message. And it also bridges the gap between my old music and my music today, lyrically, where it is a bit emotional.
