Demi Lovato is sharing the footnotes of her new single…

The 28-year-old half-Mexican American singer/actress recently joined voices with Sam Fischer for the stirring collaboration “What Other People Say,” and now she’s offering fans a behind-the-scenes look and a little insight into the track in a new Vevo Footnotes video, which premiered on Friday (Feb. 26).

In the Footnotes installment, Fischer and Lovato share the symbolism behind “What Other People Say,” as well as how director Dano Cerny brought the song to life in the subway-themed visual.

“Dano’s [treatment] hit me like a ton of bricks — he’s a boss on set, someone I trusted immediately and gives incredible energy for every take,” Fischer says.

The video also notes that Lovato and Fischer met for the first time on set, and “had instant chemistry.” Lovato explains of the track (which was released on February 4),

“You can feel connected to someone out there that’s going through the same thing you’re going through, even though you’ve never met. I think in these times of isolation and loneliness, it’s a really important and timely message.”
