“I made friends of all ages. I've lost friends around my age, and those hurt me so much because we've been in the trenches together,” the singer said of the new song. "I had a lot of survivor's guilt after my overdose because...right after that Mac Miller died, and that put it all into perspective for me: 'It could have been you, it was almost you, and how are you going to live your life now?' And that touched me a lot. »
Miller died on September 7, 2018 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol. An individual associated with Miller's death, Stephen Andrew Walter, was sentenced to 210 months in prison in May for distributing fentanyl. Lovato's heroin overdose happened just two months before Miller's death and caused the singer to suffer three strokes, a heart attack and blind spots in his vision.
Elsewhere in the new interview, Lovato also tells Lowe that she would advise artists under the age of 18 to consider not signing recording contracts with major labels. “As teenagers, people who aren't in the spotlight are still trying to figure themselves out. They go to parties. They make mistakes,” she explains. “And it's like you're 15 and you make mistakes, it's amplified. I do not know. If I had kids and they came up to me and said, “Mom, I want to be in the industry,” I would have to say, “Please wait until you're 18. »
