“I’m so excited to share another taste of what’s in store for this album,” Lovato explained of ‘Substance’ in a statement.
“We can all relate to searching for something more in life, and I want this song to make you feel like you’re having a damn good time while doing it.”
In keeping with the new single’s sound, its official Cody Critcheloe-directed video, which you can view below, pays homage to pop-punk music videos from the late 1990s and early 2000s, “but with a modern twist”.

“‘Holy Fvck’ takes me back to my roots,” Lovato wrote on Instagram while sharing the LP’s back cover. “It’s a body of work that’s unapologetically me, and I can’t wait to perform it on tour for you!”
