Tell Me You Love Me is the sixth studio album by American singer Demi Lovato. It was released on September 29, 2017, by Island, Hollywood, and Safehouse Records.[1] The album serves as her final project to be released through Hollywood Records, with whom she released six studio albums. Primarily a pop record, the album also incorporates elements of R&B.[2] Lovato described the album as having a more "soulful" side than her previous work, and named Christina Aguilera, Aretha Franklin, and Kehlani as its major influences.[3] Contributions to the album's production came from several producers, including Mitch Allan, David Massey, Oak Felder, Stint, and John Hill.
Lyrically, Tell Me You Love Me explores themes of overcoming heartbreak, letting go of trauma, and being single.[4] The album's lead single "Sorry Not Sorry", released on July 11, 2017, went on to become Lovato's highest-charting single in the United States, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and being certified 7× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[5] The title track was released as the album's second and final single on November 14, peaking at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100 and later being certified double Platinum by the RIAA.[6]
Upon its release, Tell Me You Love Me received generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom praised its production and Lovato's emotive vocal performance, with some deeming it her finest album to date. It peaked within the top ten in numerous countries worldwide, peaking at number three on the US Billboard 200. In support of the album, Lovato embarked on the Tell Me You Love Me World Tour in 2018.[7] On May 7, 2021, Lovato released previous Target-edition bonus tracks "Smoke & Mirrors" and "Ready for Ya" as part of the deluxe version of the album.[8]
