The second verse describes her introduction to drugs: \"A little white line\" that eventually became \"a little black pipe.\"
\"A painful remedy/ Almost got the best of me/ I keep praying I don't reach the end of my life,\" she sings.
Lovato then begs her fans to forgive her for \"dancing with the devil.\"
On Instagram, Lovato expressed her gratitude for the support she has received. \"It feels absolutely unreal having this out right now, I love you all so so much,\" she wrote alongside an acoustic performance of the new song.
\"Thank you for your support and love this week with the premiere,\" she continued, referring to the docuseries -- also titled \"Dancing with the Devil\" -- streaming now on YouTube.
