Demi Lovato premiered her new song Commander in Chief during the Billboard Music Awards telecast. As shown on Demi Lovato’s social media the performance was in front of a large VOTE on screen but was edited by NBC prior to telecasting the prerecorded performance.

Commander in chief takes aim directly at Donald Trump referencing his misinformation, his pandemic response and his shut down of the mail service.

Commander in Chief by Demi Lovato lyrics

Were you ever taught when you were young
If you mess with things selfishly, they’re bound to come undone?
I’m not the only one
That’s been affected and resented every story you’ve spun, and I’m a lucky one

‘Cause there are people worse off that have suffered enough
Haven’t they suffered enough?
But you can’t get enough of shutting down systems for personal gain
Fighting fires with flyers and praying for rain
Do you get off on pain?
We’re not pawns in your game

[Chorus] Commander in Chief, honestly
If I did the things you do, I couldn’t sleep
Seriously, do you even know the truth?
We’re in a state of crisis, people are dying
While you line your pockets deep
Commander in Chief
How does it feel to still be able to breathe?

We were taught when we were young
If we fight for what’s right, there won’t be justice for just some
Won’t give up, stand our ground
We’ll be in the streets while you’re bunkering down
Loud and proud, best believe
We’ll still take a knee while you’re…

[Chorus]
Breathe
Be able to breathe

Won’t give up, stand our ground
We’ll be in the streets while you’re bunkering down
Won’t give up, stand our ground
We’ll be in the streets while you’re…

[Chorus]
Able to breathe
