Riff: Demi Lovato – “Sorry Not Sorry”

Aug 23, 2017

Baby, I’m sorry (I’m not sorry)/Baby, I’m sorry (I’m not sorry)/Being so bad got me feelin’ so good/Showing you up like I knew that I would

from Sorry Not Sorry lyrics by Demi Lovato

Some people are so bad they’re good, and sometimes sorry but not really sorry. Demi Levato explores this idea, using cliche phrases like, “payback is a (bad) bitch,” “the tables have turned,” and even tipping her hat to The Temptations’ 1966 hit “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg.” Whoever did her wrong is getting an earful with this one — she’s so impassioned she drops the F-bomb in the pre-chorus. But she seems to thrive off another’s pain from seeing her doing so well, and she packaged that into a bass-heavy pop joint.
