She is responding to the people who are trying to tell her that musicians shouldn’t get political. Lovato posted her response saying that “we are all citizens of the same country and we are humans with opinions as well.” She even added that this is a piece of art that stands for something she believes in as a queer, Hispanic woman and will not silence her views to please her audience.

In the song she goes on to sing, “Commander in Chief, how does it feel to still be able to breath?” Expressing the great loss that our country had faced with over 215,000 deaths to the coronavirus pandemic and the more than 7 million people who have tested positive for the virus.
