Demi Lovato has dropped “Sorry Not Sorry (Rock Version)” featuring Slash, and also announced her upcoming album ‘Revamped,’ featuring rock versions of her hit songs. “Sorry Not Sorry (Rock Version)” follows the release of “Heart Attack (Rock Version)” and “Cool for the Summer (Rock Version),” which will all be included on the 10-track album Revamped. 

“Sorry Not Sorry (Rock Version)” features updated production from Warren “Oak” Felder, Keith “Ten4” Sorrells, and Alex Nice, with legendary guitarist Slash of Guns N’ Roses providing guitar riffs for the revamped version of the song.  The song was originally released six years ago as the lead single from Lovato’s sixth studio album, Tell Me You Love Me. The song became her fourth top 10 hit and highest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100, and has since been certified 5x Platinum.

Lovato shared: “Slash is an iconic artist who I’ve been a fan of for years, it’s an absolute honor to have such a legend like him on the rock version of ‘Sorry not Sorry’. With ‘Revamped,’ I wanted to pay homage to the songs that resonated the most with fans and played a big role in my career by breathing an exciting new life into them. Creating this project has been incredibly fun and allowed me to express my passion for rock music in a new way, and I feel so much closer to my older music because of it. I can’t wait for everyone to hear more!”

Just a week after Taylor Swift dropped ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),’ the singer has announced ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) Deluxe Digital Album, featuring two exclusive live tracks: “Dear John (Live From Minneapolis)” and “Last Kiss (Live From Kansas City).”

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) has already broke multiple records: on the day of its release, the album became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 and the most-streamed country album in a single day in Spotify history.

In a message shared with the album’s release, Swift wrote about the significance of Dear John and Last Kiss: “It was an album that was the most precious to me because of its vast extremes. It was unfiltered and potent. In my mind, the saddest song I’ve ever written is ‘Last Kiss.’ My most scathing is ‘Dear John,’ and my most wistfully romantic is ‘Enchanted.’”
