Demi Lovato recreates her 2018 near-fatal overdose in her new 'Dancing With the Devil' music video

• Demi Lovato released the music video for her newest single, "Dancing With the Devil," on Friday.
• The video sees the singer reenacting the night she overdosed and nearly died in 2018.
• "Almost made it to Heaven / It was closer than you know," she sings.

Demi Lovato reenacted her near-fatal overdose for the "Dancing With the Devil" music video.

The emotional clip, directed by Lovato and Michael D. Ratner, premiered at midnight on Friday. It recreates the events of July 24, 2018, when the singer partied with friends before going home and taking drugs apparently laced with fentanyl.

"I had told some friends, 'Hey, I've been sober since I was 19. I want to try this drinking, smoking thing. I just want to see if I can handle it,'" Lovato said in her YouTube docuseries. "So to them, I wasn't doing these hard drugs. To them, I was just 'normal' again."

"I met up with some friends, we went to several different bars," she said of the night she overdosed. "Around 5:30 in the morning, I said I was going to bed. But the reality was that I had called one of my dealers over."

The video then shows Lovato unconscious in bed, where she was discovered by her then-assistant and rushed to the hospital.

Much of the video features Lovato in a blonde wig and messy makeup, lying or singing in a hospital bed. Actors who resemble her mother, Dianna De La Garza, and two sisters, Dallas and Madison, are shown huddling around her.

The video also alludes to Lovato's dealer sexually assaulting her the night she overdosed, which she previously disclosed in her YouTube docuseries, also called "Dancing With the Devil."

"When they found me I was naked, I was blue, I was literally left for dead after he took advantage of me," she said.

The former Disney star said she suffered a heart attack, three strokes, multiple-organ failure, and woke up in the hospital legally blind. She then spent three months in a live-in rehab facility.

The song describes Lovato's "twisted reality" and "hopeless insanity" after she relapsed in early 2018, breaking her six-year sobriety, and became addicted to crack and heroin.

"It's just a little white line, I'll be fine," she sings. "But soon, that little white line is a little glass pipe / Tinfoil remedy, almost got the best of me / I keep praying I don't reach the end of my lifetime."

"Dancing With the Devil" is the second track on Lovato's seventh album, "Dancing with the Devil ... the Art of Starting Over," released on Friday.
