The voice
Demi Lovato is a powerhouse mezzo-soprano with a recorded range commonly cited at roughly C3–D#6. The calling card is the belt: a thick, brassy mixed voice that Lovato can take up to G#5 on Sorry Not Sorry and hold with full vibrato, plus a rock rasp inherited from years of Disney pop-rock and a genuine love of metal. Above the belt sits a strong, clear head voice used for runs and climactic ad-libs. Few pop singers of the era combine that much power with that much agility.
This is not a beginner’s catalogue at the original keys. Lovato’s choruses regularly sit around C5–E5 in chest-mix and the climaxes go higher, so the requirement is a well-supported belt that does not tip into a shout. The runs on tracks like Heart Attack and Stone Cold need clean, separated notes rather than a smear. A common mistake is imitating the rasp by tightening the throat; keep it open and let the edge come from the airflow. Learn the songs a few semitones down, warm up thoroughly, and add the original key only when the top feels easy.
Range moments worth studying
Sorry Not Sorry
Ranges about F#3–G#5, with the final choruses stacked with belted ad-libs up to G#5 that make it one of the toughest pop singles to cover.
Solo
The Clean Bandit collaboration is gentler, spanning roughly F#3–D5 with a chorus in a bright but manageable mix.
Skyscraper
Starts quietly in the lower-middle voice and builds to sustained, rasped belts around the top of the staff in the final chorus.
Stone Cold
A slow soul ballad with a huge dynamic arc, from near-whispered low verses to full-voice climaxes and long melismatic runs.

Can you sing it?
