On the heels of releasing the music video for "Confident" off of her latest album of the same name, Demi Lovato has now unleashed the second single, "Waitin' For You," with an accompanying music video. It features up-and-coming rapper Sirah which amps up the girl power themes. Lovato certainly gets rough 'n' tumble on this one and it's infused with the Confident attitude that seems to be her personal mantra these days. She even wears a jacket emblazoned with the word in the music video.
The song features some seriously attitude-laden lyrics as Lovato mean mugs into the camera. It's a far cry from the insecure tabloid fodder girl that she was just a few years ago. The singer seems to have turned over a whole new leaf in terms of her public image, comparing herself to a lion that will keep biting in the song's lyrics. She also uses a metaphor that her lover is a Band-Aid and how he must have been paper because she could never rip him off.
Then Sirah comes in with her rap while wearing a jacket printed with "Waitin' For You" across the back. She thumps her hands, giving "ruff girl" looks into the camera in her backwards baseball cap stuffed over bleach blonde locks. The rising artist is tiny but still packs a punch in the music video and comes with plenty of attitude, rapping about having her name in her difficult lover's mouth, how much she loves it and how she will spit him out.
Lovato's mussed up hair swirls around her as the vocals speed up and down moving along the lyrics and camera shots. The imagery throughout the video is also very urban as per tough girl lifestyle as Lovato alludes to "knuckles out" and other confrontational themes. You'd think that she's singing to a lover that's done her wrong but the premise seems to be that she's strong enough to wait, to tough it out.
