With her new single, “Skyscraper,” climbing the iTunes charts, former Disney star Demi Lovato is sure to have plenty of press in the upcoming weeks. She sat down with Ryan Seacrest to discuss her struggle with bipolar disorder, anorexia, bulimia, and cutting — and to talk about her new outlook on life.

“I was struggling with depression as early as 7 years old,” she says, admitting that even at such a young age, she experienced “suicidal thoughts and things like that which I knew was abnormal for a kid.”

She believes that if her bipolar disorder had been diagnosed earlier, she may have avoided some of the problems that forced her into a treatment facility last year. “Looking back I was unmedicated for so many years and it led to so many problems,” she says. Now, though, she’s got the tools to understand her disease. “It’s a daily journey and it’s definitely going to be a struggle that I’ll have to deal with for the rest of my life.”

Though she tries to keep a positive outlook, she does still have bad days. “Sometimes I’m just like, ‘Why couldn’t I have been born normal?’ And it sucks, but that’s how it is with addiction. It’s going to be a daily battle and I’m not going to be perfect.”

Lately, the good days haven’t been too few or far between. “Today I’m really happy, and I’m really excited about life,” Lovato says. “I don’t know what could happen tomorrow but I know that if something did happen tomorrow I would keep trying.”

Who needs bells and whistles when you’ve got a message?

We are happy to bring you the world premiere of the video for Demi Lovato‘s hit single “Skyscraper,” a very personal tune about landing in a dark place, only to battle through and rise higher than ever.

Yes, like a skyscraper.

In an exclusive interview with Ryan Seacrest, Lovato said that she didn’t want this video to be (like so many others these days) all about hair and makeup or the glitz factor. Instead, she wanted to convey the song’s message in as honest a way as possible.

So all you get is a barefoot Lovato in a billowy white dress, hair flowing in the breeze as she triumphantly makes her way through a barren desert. Her emotional rawness also translates through the slight rasp in her voice.

And you know what? That’s all you really need to understand what she’s trying to say, loud and clear.

Demi Lovato insists she has no time for romance as she is concentrating on her career and friends.

Demi Lovato insists she has no time for romance.

The ‘Skyscraper’ singer – who recently split from boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama – says she’s too busy concentrating on her career and girlfriends.

She told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM show: “To be honest, right now there is no crush. I have a pact with my friends right now, literally no boys for X amount of days.”

The 18-year-old star – who was admitted to rehab last November for three months to receive treatment for “emotional and physical issues” – also revealed how her personal problems means she and ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas are no longer close.

Demi – who appeared in ‘Camp Rock’ with Joe – said: “He was my best friend for like years prior to that, so he knew about my problems. I mean when we first shot the first movie together.”

When asked if Joe was there for her during her rehab stint, Demi said: “Yeah, I’ve had a lot of support, and you know obviously I’m not super close with him anymore just because a lot has happened, but I was very thankful to have the support of many many friends.”

Demi Lovato is clearly still dealing with a lot of emotions and she isn’t afraid to share what she’s feeling with her devoted fans. The singer/actress has been tweeting some inspirational things, and some words of wisdom spawned in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

“One of the hardest parts about recovery, is accepting loneliness… But I feel like if you learn to love those moments of unwanted independence, you can get through just about anything,” she wrote.

This girl really has a gift. The way that she words things and the positive messages she sends out to her fans are truly inspirational. Lovatics are lucky to have such a strong role model. Although Demi does have plenty of down moments, she accepts them, and she tries to spin them positive. She is just like any other teenager (even though she is famous) and that makes her fans relate to her on a normal level. It’s a wonderful thing.

She’s back and healthier than ever, and Demi is ready to drop some new music on her eagerly waiting fans.

The former “Sonny with the Chance” chick will release her new single “Skyscraper” this coming Tuesday (July 12) on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and she’s confident that it will be well-received.

Demi blogged, “My first single is really special to me — to me it symbolizes my journey from the person I was to the happy healthy person I am today, and the fact that people are able to rise above anything, despite the odds.”

“With my new album, I’m hoping to provide inspiration for girls everywhere who are going through the same issues I’ve faced,” Lovato tweeted. “I think this will come through in a lot of the material.”

After revealing the cover artwork for her new single Skyscraper a couple days ago, Demi Lovato‘s song has been reviewed by Free Wired, who only had nice things to say about the single! The song is set to be released on July 19th on iTunes. Here’s what they had to say!

Co-written by Estonian “bubblegoth” singer, Kerli, and producer, Toby Gad (Selena Gomez “A Year Without Rain”, Fergie “Big Girls Don’t Cry”), “Skyscraper” seems like it was tailor made for Demi. With heartbreaking, yet optimistic lyrics placed over minimal yet emotionally effective production, the song seemed like the perfect opportunity for Lovato to emote, and emote, she certainly does.

“Skies are crying, I am watching,” she whispers in the first verse. “Catching teardrops in my hands.” Strangely befitting, she sounds vulnerable, almost broken, over a bare, piano-only backdrop. As the second verse resounds (“As the smoke clears, I awaken,”) she’s already regained most of her confidence and composure as the beat picks up, yet there’s still a hint of fragility in her voice, which diminishes as the song goes on. Until we reach the finale, that is; the final chorus.

The chorus in “Skyscraper” is arguably the best thing about the song. The creme de la creme, if you will. Heartbreaking yet optimistic, catchy yet powerful in substance, it stays with you for all the right reasons. “You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, like I’m made of glass, like I’m made of paper,” she dares us. “Go on and try to bring me down, I will be rising from the ground,” she then proclaims. “Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.” The final rendition, however, is all the more mesmerizing. Openly weeping by the end of the song, it gives Lovato the edge to transform from Disney princess into fully-fledged, true musician.

“Skyscraper” is a triumph for Demi Lovato in every sense; a triumphant return to the music industry, a triumphant return to prominence, and, above all, a triumphant emergence from the ashes.

Can’t wait to hear the song!
