"Swine" (stylized in all uppercase) is a song by American singer Demi Lovato, released as a charity single through Island Records on June 22, 2023.
A protest song about abortion rights, it was released two days before the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court of the United States' decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022.
When surprise-releasing the song on June 22, 2023, Demi Lovato explained its origin in a statement via her social media accounts: "It's been one year since the Supreme Court's decision to dismantle the constitutional right to a safe abortion, and although the path forward will be challenging, we must continue to be united in our fight for reproductive justice.
"[1] "Swine" was released as a protest song two days before the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court of the United States' decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, ending federal protection for abortion access.
[3][5] Following the release of "Swine", Lovato also created a resource center on her official website, including a map that displayed the abortion rights in each state of the country.
[10] Rachel Kiley from Pride.com said that the song "gives fans more insight into what to expect from the singer moving forward, as she shifts away from her pop era into a musical aesthetic that’s as bold and outspoken as she is".
[2] The video depicts Lovato and a group of several people, including persons from the LGBT community,[4] singing and showing themselves to confront a tribunal of men,[2] which alludes to the Supreme Court,[17][11] leading a revolution.
