[1] Further details were revealed when a fan who reposted the snippet on Twitter received a copyright takedown notice filed by the IFPI, which identified the song as a Lovato track called "Still Got Me", registered by Universal Music Group.

[6] Citing unnamed sources connected to Lovato, TMZ reported that she became so increasingly frustrated with Ehrich's recent behavior, such as drawing comparisons between the breakup and Jeffrey Epstein, that she did not want to wait to release the song.

[12][13][14] After Lovato released the song, her manager Scooter Braun replied to her Instagram post: "Now let's just get it up on streamers", with a Smiling Face with Open Mouth and Cold Sweat emoji.

According to sources with direct knowledge on the matter, after the premature release, her team "scrambled" to make the single available on music platforms, so as to allow her fans to purchase it and collect streaming numbers.

[23] While not directly referencing the breakup,[22] its lyrics explore a person's mind during a difficult time, having experienced a fall from a high point in life, but still possessing the strength and a strong will to overcome obstacles by oneself,[24][25] and attempts to go through the process of healing.
