Ghost emerges as one of the most emotionally charged tracks from Demi Lovato‘s highly anticipated ninth studio album, “It’s Not That Deep,” releasing October 24, 2025.
This haunting ballad showcases Lovato’s vulnerability as she explores the lingering presence of lost love, where memories become so vivid they feel like ghostly apparitions. The track stands as the album’s longest at 4 minutes and 15 seconds, positioned strategically as the penultimate song, suggesting its importance in the album’s emotional arc.
Following her dance-pop transformation under executive producer Zhone’s guidance, “Ghost” represents a more introspective moment within the collection, contrasting beautifully with upbeat singles like “Fast” and “Here All Night“. Lovato paints a poignant picture of seeing someone everywhere – in faces, postcards, billboards, and even hearing their voice in empty spaces, creating an atmospheric narrative that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. The song’s theme of choosing to live with someone’s “ghost” rather than having nothing at all resonates with the album’s overall message of emotional honesty wrapped in accessible pop sensibilities.
This track perfectly complements other introspective moments on “It’s Not That Deep” such as “In My Head” and “Before I Knew You,” creating a cohesive emotional journey alongside the album’s more carefree dance tracks. As Lovato embraces her current happy chapter in life, “Ghost” serves as a reminder of her ability to transform past experiences into compelling artistry.

Lyrics of Ghost by Demi Lovato
[Verse 1]
You And Me, I Hope We’re Falling For Eternity
Heavenly, Hold Me And Promise That You’ll Never Leave
[Pre-Chorus]
The One Thing That I’m Scared Of Is That Your Love Could Be Temporary
I Could Die Just Looking At You, But If You Go Before I Do
[Chorus]
I Hope You Flicker The Lights
And Send A Chill Down My Spine, So Cold
Wanna Be Haunted For Life By Your Ghost (Ghost)
If You’re Not Here By My Side
Just Show Me Some Kind Of Sign That You’re Close
Wanna Be Haunted For Life By Your Ghost
[Verse 2]
I Have A Tendency To Dwell On All The Darkest Possibilities
No Guarantee That We’ll Wake Up Together When We Fall Asleep, Ah
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, The One Thing That I’m Scared Of Is That Your Love Could Be Temporary
I Could Die Just Looking At You, But If You Go Before I Do, Ooh
[Chorus]
I Hope You Flicker The Lights
And Send A Chill Down My Spine, So Cold
Wanna Be Haunted For Life By Your Ghost
If You’re Not Here By My Side
Just Show Me Some Kind Of Sign That You’re Close
Wanna Be Haunted For Life By Your Ghost
[Bridge]
Oh-woah
And If I Am The First One To Go
Oh-woah
You Know I’d Never Leave You Alone
So, Baby, Don’t Leave Me Alone, Oh-woah
[Chorus]
I Hope You Flicker The Lights
And Send A Chill Down My Spine, So Cold
Wanna Be Haunted For Life By Your Ghost (Ghost)
If You’re Not Here By My Side (Here By My Side)
Just Show Me Some Kind Of Sign That You’re Close
Wanna Be Haunted For Life By Your Ghost (Ghost)
[Outro]
(Ghost)
