Grammys 2020: Demi Lovato performs emotional comeback song 'Anyone'
Grammys 2020: Demi Lovato performs emotional comeback song 'Anyone' that she apparently recorded days before her near fatal overdose back in 2018.
Demi Lovato returned to the Grammy stage on Sunday night with such an emotional performance of her new song, "Anyone," that she had to restart.
The singer, 27, wrote the ballad just four days before her near-fatal overdose in July 2018. After receiving a standing ovation from the audience, Lovato took to social media to reflect on the moment.

"What an unbelievable night. My first time back on stage in almost 2 years," she described. "So emotional for me. Thank you all for the love, support and for sharing this moment with me. I love you all."
The lyrics to "Anyone" touched upon Lovato's state of mind during that period.
"I tried to talk to my piano / I tried to talk to my guitar / Talked to my imagination / Confided in to alcohol / I tried and tried and tried some more / Told secrets 'til my voice was sore / Tired of empty conversation / Cause no one hears me anymore," Lovato began.

"Anyone, please send me anyone / Lord, is there anyone? / I need someone / Anyone, please send me anyone / Lord, is there anyone? / I need someone."
