Demi Lovato told Complex in a 2015 interview that “Stone Cold“ is their favorite song off of the album. “I want the Grammy committee to hear that song,” they said, “so that one day they can see that—I know that I’m capable of getting there.”
It has been likened to their 2011 ballad Skyscraper, and Billboard writes that Lovato’s vocals put them “squarely in Adele mode”.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor
Stone cold, stone cold
Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel anymore
Stone cold, baby
God knows I try to feel
Happy for you
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her, I'm happy for you
Stone cold, stone cold
You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone
Stone cold, stone cold
I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold
Stone cold, baby
God knows I try to feel
Happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand, I'll take the pain
Give me the truth, me and my heart
We'll make it through
If happy is her, I'm happy for you
Don't wanna be stone cold, stone
I wish I could mean this, but here's my goodbye
Oh, I'm happy for you
Know that I am, even if I
Can't understand
If happy is her
If happy is her
I'm happy for you
The song "Stone Cold" by Demi Lovato is a heartbreaking ballad about the pain of moving on from a lost love. The lyrics talk about feeling numb and empty after a breakup, and watching the person you loved move on with someone else. The title "Stone Cold" refers to the feeling of being frozen and unresponsive, unable to feel emotions or react to what's happening around you. In the chorus, Lovato repeats the phrase "stone cold" to emphasize this feeling and its overwhelming power.
The song is full of raw emotion and vulnerability as Lovato sings about the struggle to find happiness after a heart-wrenching breakup. She talks about trying to be happy for her ex-partner, who has moved on to someone new, even though she's still hurting inside. The line "I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold" captures the pain and jealousy of watching someone you once loved find happiness with someone else.

She put her whole heart into this song and I was moved to tears.
@the.paige.turner
Morte Diem god damnit, so was I. I can’t believe I missed this song when it first came out. It’s one of those songs you HAVE to listen to, to be sad. Like when you’re in THAT place, thinking about how “happy” you are, you gotta listen to this and just need to get that good cry in, and you’re good after that. Know what I mean?? This is going on repeat for the next couple of days for me, fa sho. ❤️❤️
