Here, Demi Lovato sends a stern message to Donald Trump, calling out the president's mishandling of racial injustice, access to affordable healthcare during COVID-19, and more. She implores Trump to acknowledge that people nationwide are dying, "while you line your pockets deep." Voicing the pain felt by voters who've been rattled by the tumultuous times, Lovato tells him, "If I did the things you'd do, I couldn't sleep."
Demi Lovato is politically active, frequently speaking out for LGBT rights and environmental issues, and against gun violence and racial injustice. However, until now she has rarely expressed her views in her music. Lovato had thought about writing a letter to President Trump criticizing him for the failures of his administration, but then she came up with the idea of writing a song incorporating questions in the lyrics, which would more likely evoke a response from the Commander-in-chief. Lovato told CNN: "There's been so many times that I've wanted to write the President a letter or sit down with him and ask him these questions. And then I thought, I don't really actually want to do that and I thought one way that I could do that is writing a song and releasing it for the whole world to hear and then he has to answer those questions to everyone and not just me."
The song also serves as an encouragement for the American people to come together as a united country and vote in the 2020 presidential election. The single artwork shows Lovato wearing a mask with "VOTE" written on it, further amplifying her message.
