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.

Stone cold, stone cold
Fria como pedra, fria como pedra
You see me standing, but I'm dying on the floor
Você me vê de pé, mas eu estou morrendo no chão
Stone cold, stone cold
Fria como pedra, fria como pedra
Maybe if I don't cry, I won't feel anymore
Talvez se eu não chorar, não vou sentir mais nada
Stone cold, baby
Fria como pedra, meu bem
God knows I tried to feel happy for you
Deus sabe que eu tentei me sentir feliz por você
Know that I am
Saiba que eu estou
Even if I can't understand
Mesmo que eu não consiga entender
I'll take the pain
Eu aguento a dor
Give me the truth, me and my heart
Me dê a verdade, eu e meu coração
We'll make it through
Nós vamos conseguir superar
If happy is her, I'm happy for you
Se a felicidade é ela, então eu estou feliz por você
Hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm
Stone cold, stone cold
Fria como pedra, fria como pedra
You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone
Você está dançando com ela, enquanto estou olhando para o meu telefone
Stone cold, stone cold
Fria como pedra, fria como pedra
I was your amber, but now she's your shade of gold
Eu era o seu âmbar, mas agora ela é seu tom de ouro
Stone cold, baby
Fria como pedra, meu bem
God knows I tried to feel happy for you
Deus sabe que eu tentei me sentir feliz por você
Know that I am
Saiba que eu estou
Even if I can't understand
Mesmo que eu não consiga entender
I'll take the pain
Eu aguento a dor
Give me the truth, me and my heart
Me dê a verdade, eu e meu coração
We'll make it through
Nós vamos conseguir superar
If happy is her, I'm happy for you
Se sua felicidade é ela, então eu estou feliz por você
Don't wanna be stone cold, stone
Não quero ser fria como pedra, como pedra
I wish I could mean this but here's my goodbye
Eu queria realmente sentir isso, mas aqui está meu adeus
Oh, I'm happy for you
Oh, eu estou feliz por você
Know that I am
Saiba que eu estou
Even if I can't understand
Mesmo que eu não consiga entender
If happy is her
Se sua felicidade é ela
If happy is her
Se sua felicidade é ela
I'm happy for you
Estou feliz por você

She put her whole heart into this song and I was moved to tears.

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. ❤️❤️
