Released by: Universal Music IndonesiaGelar inspirational sepertinya sedang dikejar-kejar oleh Demi Lovato. Dengan menggagaskan gerakan "Confident", ia mencoba memberikan hiburan yang tak hanya berwarna, tapi juga bermakna kepada para penikmat musik pop. Dari album studio kelimanya, 'Confident' lahir dari tangan Demi bersama Ilya Salmanzadeh, Max Martin, dan Savan Kotecha. Antemik, ya. Sehingga bisa dijadikan theme song terbaru dari mantan gadis Disney ini.
Pengaruh rock dalam lagu ini datang dari Max Martin. Yep, ini merupakan elemen musiknya. Hanya saja, karyanya lebih banyak bergerak di bidang pop sehingga ia kurang dikenal dengan wajah aslinya. Namun jika bersandar pada beat-nya, lagu ini justru menghidangkan aroma dance. Terwujudlah suatu kompleksitas sebagai nilai utama dari lagu yang patut dibanggakan oleh Demi ini.
Guna mendukung lirik yang keras di lagu ini, Demi bermain karakter dalam video musik yang bisa dibilang sebagai sebuah film pendek. Dibintangi pula oleh bintang "Fast & Furious" Michelle Rodriguez, keduanya beradu laga dalam naskah yang dituntaskan dengan bergabungnya mereka dalam satu aliansi. Ciri tough yang ingin ditonjolkan merupakan gambaran yang ideal mengenai konsep lagu yang Demi inginkan.
Nothing's wrong adalah jawaban yang tepat untuk setiap pertanyaan "what's wrong with being confident?" yang tertera dalam lirik lagu ini. Meskipun bersifat retorik, tetap saja ada kewajiban untuk memberi respon. Fungsi bukan untuk menjawab, tapi untuk menegaskan. Dan lagu ini tegas tak berambigu!
LYRIC
Are you ready?
It's time for me to take it
I'm the boss right now
Not gonna fake it
Not when you go down
'Cause this is my game
And you better come to play
I used to hold my freak back
Now I'm letting go
I make my own choice
[Clean version:] Yeah I run this show
[Explicit version:] Bitch, I run this show
So leave the lights on
No, you can't make me behave
So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated, rated
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
It's time to get the chains out
Is your tongue tied up?
'Cause this is my ground
And I'm dangerous
And you can get off
But it's all about me tonight
So you say I'm complicated
That I must be outta my mind
But you've had me underrated
Rated, rated, rated
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
So you say I'm complicated
But you've had me underrated
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being
What's wrong with being confident?
