It’s a story of fire and Ice(land) for Demi Lovato… 

The 27-year-old half-Mexican American actress stars in Netflix‘s new film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, in which she performs the single “In The Mirror.”

In the film, Lovato portrays a singer from Iceland named Katiana Lindsdottir, who’s a shoo-in to win the Icelandic Song Contest and sing her way to the top of the highly competitive Eurovision Song Contest. 

But tragedy strikes… And Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams‘ lead characters take the spot that Katiana, considered the greatest Eurovision contestant ever to come from Iceland, would have had.

“I got everything I wished for/ If everything is so right/ Then why does it feel/ Like I’m the loneliest girl in the world/ Like I’m the loneliest, loneliest girl/ Like there’s a dark other half of me/ A part of me I can’t see/ Unless I’m looking in the mirror,” she sings in the chorus.

“Can’t wait for you to meet Katiana,” Lovato captioned an  Instagram video she released that previewed her Netflix movie character singing the track.
