The last 10 months have been a whirlwind for 23-year-old Demi Lovato. She was a major headliner at the 2016 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour, released her fifth studio album Confident in October 2015, which debuted at No. 1 in Canada on the carts and reached the top 10 in 15 countries like the UK and US, and appeared on Fall Out Boy's single (and accompanying music video) for "Irresistible." But that hasn't stopped her from already returning to the studio to record her forthcoming sixth studio album. And she's already shared the first single from the album.

In early July, Demi released her latest single "Body Say," a sexy R&B/pop-style track featuring song lyrics that we're not used to hearing from the Albuquerque-born singer/songwriter. On July 1st, she tweeted, "I wrote and recorded #BodySay a couple weeks ago and wanted you guys to hear it right away…whats the point in waiting anymore." Well, we're so glad Demi didn't wait to release "Body Say," because we already can't get enough of the new single.

Aside from releasing a new song and recording new music, Demi has been very busy out on the road across the US and Canada with Nick Jonas on their "Future Now Tour." The tour kicked off on June 29th in Atlanta, and will continue on throughout the summer/early fall stopping in cities like Seattle, San Antonio, Phoenix, and more, before finishing up in Los Angeles at the Forum on September 17th.

While touring in the area, Demi recently stopped by iHeartRadio HQ in New York City, where she told us about "Body Say," taking the next step in her songwriting, and what we might expect from her new upcoming album.

"The song is very sexy. It's basically me just feeling my songwriting. I've now just explored my sexuality, and just having fun with that. It's something that I've never written about, so I'm ready to take that next step."

After hearing "Body Say," we really can't wait to hear what else Demi has been writing about for her new album. Will we be hearing more songs like "Body Say?" We asked, and Demi says, "Possibly, yeah. I have new music right now that I'm writing, so I don't know what it's gonna be yet."
