We knew Demi Lovato would be debuting a new song at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards on October 14, and she used the opportunity to make a direct political statement. In “Commander in Chief,” she makes it clear who she’s singing about. Watch the music video above. In the description under the video she urges, “Please join me and vote in this year’s election.”
