This is Real This is Me
Demi Lovato & Joe Jonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've always been the kind of girl that hid my face
So afraid to tell the world what I've got to say
But I had this dream, bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know

This is the real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

Do you know what it's like to feel so in the dark?
To dream about a life where you're the shining star?
Even though it seems like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself, it's the only way

This is the real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is the real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be, yeah

This is me (you're the missing piece I need)
(The song inside of me)
This is me (you're the voice I hear inside my head)
(The reason that I'm singing)

Now I found who I am
There's no way to hold it in




No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas's song "This Is Real, This Is Me" are about expressing one's true self and not hiding who they are from the world. The song talks about the struggles of hiding one's identity and the fear of rejection, but also about the importance of finding one's true self and being true to it. The first stanza talks about how the singer has always been afraid to show the world who she is, but she has a dream inside of her that she can no longer hide. She wants to let her true self shine through and let people know who she really is. The second stanza talks about the journey to finding oneself and the obstacles that come with it. The singer talks about how it may seem like a faraway dream, but she has to believe in herself to make it a reality. The chorus repeats the message of the song, with the singer saying that this is the real her and she's where she's meant to be. She's not going to hide anymore and is ready to let her light shine.


The bridge talks about the importance of finding support from someone who believes in you. The singer says that she hears a voice inside her head - this could be interpreted as her own inner voice or someone who inspires her - and that this voice is the reason why she's singing. She needs to find this person who completes her and brings out the best in her. The final chorus repeats the message of the song once more, with the singer saying that she's found who she is and there's no more hiding.


Overall, "This Is Real, This Is Me" is a powerful and inspirational song about self-discovery and self-acceptance. It encourages listeners to be true to themselves and to not be afraid to let their light shine, no matter what others may think. It's a reminder that we all have a unique purpose and that we should embrace our individuality.

All the cringe compilations, the edits of the movie and the dis-knees put aside, 2000s disney was really pure, filled with dream, inspiration and just care-free vibe.
