"Sorry Not Sorry" is a song recorded by American singer Demi Lovato. She co-wrote the song with Sean Douglas, Trevor Brown, William Zaire Simmons and its producer Oak Felder. It was released on July 11, 2017,[3] through Island Records, Republic Records, Hollywood Records, and Safehouse Records, as the first single from her upcoming sixth studio album.

Background and release

On June 29, 2017, Lovato published a trio of pictures in her Instagram and Twitter account showing an acronym titled "SNS" causing speculation related to a possible new single.[4] Five days after, the singer confirmed the release of a song via an Instagram video, and teased an instrumental of the track, the following day, Lovato posted a video on her Twitter revealing the title "Sorry Not Sorry".[5][3][6] Lovato explained to Amazon Music that "Sorry Not Sorry" is a song for the "haters" with the message "you know what I'm good now and sorry I'm not sorry that you may not be loving where your life is at the moment."[7]

Critical reception

Forbes contributor Hugh McIntyre described "Sorry Not Sorry" as "an unapologetic, braggadocious look in the mirror, with Lovato taking the opportunity to praise herself, and rightfully so," and further opined that "Lovato really packs a punch her powerful vocals, which have been setting her apart from other female pop stars for years now."[8] Elias Leight of Rolling Stone described the song as a "gleeful revenge on a callous ex" with "heavy rhythmic effects."[9] Christopher Rosa of Glamour felt the song "takes self-empowerment to new heights."[10] Lars Brandle of Billboard wrote it was "bound to be embraced as a girl-power anthem."[11] On a less positive note, Mike Wass from Idolator stated that its theme was something that had "been done several dozen times before," as the concept is a "fairly tired tale of turning the tables on an ex/hater," and felt the chorus "offers more of the same."[12]

Music video

The official music video was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and released via Vevo on July 19, 2017.[13][14] The clip sees Lovato throwing a house party, frolicking by a pool, in an inflatable tub, on an outdoor dance floor, and in a beach chair, as her friends thrash, laugh, and kiss around her. Paris Hilton, Wiz Khalifa and Jamie Foxx made their appearances in the video. In 24 hours of release, the video amounted 8.5 million views, a record for Lovato.

Chart performance

"Sorry Not Sorry" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 52 three days following its release. It sold 45,000 copies in the US alone in its first three days. The single then soared up by 29 chart positions to reach a new peak of number 23 on the US Billboard Hot 100 as a result of surge in its sales. "Sorry Not Sorry" also managed to reach the top 40 in the charts of other major music markets.
