    Is Demi Lovato's "Cool For The Summer" About A Same-Sex Fling?

    Sapphic relationships are apparently "Cool for the Summer."

    Demi Lovato’s highly anticipated new single, “Cool for the Summer,” made its way online this morning and it’s every bit the banger fans were hoping for.

    The song — packed with dark, sexy synths and big, infectious hooks — marks a new sound for the singer, but it’s the sapphic overtones that are the real surprise.

    Lovato has never commented on speculation about her sexuality, which has been the subject of rumors since model Ruby Rose (yes, that Ruby Rose) claimed to have had an affair with the singer back in 2013.

    When asked if the song is just a pop fantasy in the vein of Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" or an actual coming-out, a representative for Lovato told BuzzFeed Music, “Demi's just young and having fun.”

    “She's in the driver's seat for the first time in her career and she's going to sing about whatever she wants to sing about.”

    A previous version of this story linked to a stream of the song on PerezHilton.com that is no longer available.
