The visual then cuts to Demi‘s night out before her overdose, then to her bedroom when her drug dealer sexually abused her and then left her there to die. We see as her assistant comes into the room and finds her unresponsive and then the paramedics arrive to help bring her back to life.

The rest of the video follows Demi‘s journey to recovery in the hospital and it ends with her revealing her “Survivor” tattoo on her neck.

TMZ‘s sources revealed that Demi went off script during the video shoot and surprised everyone when she “began lip-syncing the song and began to sob uncontrollably.” She reportedly told people on set that filming the video was “cathartic.”
