Horror fans look forward to each installment of the popular Scream franchise for its unique plot and characters, but one element often overlooked is the music. Earlier this morning, singer Demi Lovato announced that her new single, Still Alive, would appear on the soundtrack for Scream VI.
The post included a phone number and a link leading to an audio clip of the song. When called, the phone is answered by Roger L. Jackson’s iconic Ghostface. Afterward, the frightening slasher villain plays a 30-second teaser of her song, suggesting the recognizable style of classic Scream movie songs. Lovato’s response to a fan with the two-eye emoji all but confirmed the rumors that had been swirling for days.
The single is set to be released on Mar. 10 and is sure to get fans excited about the upcoming movie. Along with the Still Alive announcement, there have been other recent hints about the film. Recently, Paramount Pictures released a set of character posters for Scream VI, giving the audience a new look at the ensemble of potential victims and killers. Each poster features a different character dressed in the iconic black glove and holding a lethal blade. We won’t know whether it’s a showdown between a killer and the individual they’re targeting or perhaps a battle against their own reflection.
With all of that, Lovato fans are likely to take a keen interest in what’s next with the announcement of this new single. This is because the film is expected to be filled with suspense, fear, and emotional turbulence.
A Versatile Songwriter
Demi Lovato has become one of the most successful singer-songwriters of the last few years, and her latest album, Holy Fvck, was released to positive reviews in 2020. However, this is not the first time the singer’s music has been featured in a scary movie. In 2017, Lovato’s hit single Confident was also featured in the Blumhouse slasher comedy Happy Death Day, contributing to one of the funniest scenes in the film. In addition, Lovato has proven to be incredibly versatile, with her music used across many genres, from pop to horror-comedy.
The strong message contained in her songs, along with her honest and powerful vocals, have consistently been praised. With Demi Lovato’s newest single titled Still Alive, fans can expect yet another hit to appear in the closing credits of the upcoming slasher Scream VI.
