"Stone Cold" is a song by American singer Demi Lovato for their fifth studio album Confident (2015). The song was co-written by Lovato with Laleh Pourkarim, who also served as the song's producer, and Gustaf Thörn. It was released to digital retailers on October 9, 2015, through Hollywood Records and Island Records as the first and only promotional single off the album, one week prior to the album's release. The song was initially premiered on radio via 97.1 FM on February 6, 2016. It was sent to contemporary hit radio on March 21, 2016, as the third and final single from the album. On April 8, the song was sent to hot adult contemporary radio.
A power ballad, "Stone Cold" discusses the pain of watching an ex move on and be happy with someone else. The song incorporates pop and soul influences, and is centered on a piano melody, with a stripped-down production aimed at highlighting Lovato's vocals. Some critics drew comparisons to Lovato's 2011 single "Skyscraper" and the works of Adele.
Composition
"Stone Cold" is a soul ballad. It was written by Lovato, Laleh Pourkarim and Gustaf Thörn. According to the digital sheet music published by Kobalt Music Publishing America, Inc., "Stone Cold" was originally composed in the key of F minor with a "moderately fast" tempo of approximately 144 BPM. Lovato showcases a vocal range on the track, alternating between belting the verses and delivering other lines such as "I'm happy for you" softly, and spans from the low note of F3 to the high note of G♯5. The song features a stripped-down production style that focuses primarily on piano and vocals.
The song's lyrics portray the pain of watching an ex move on after a breakup and trying to be happy for them once they find happiness with someone else. A writer from Billboard compared the song to Lovato's 2011 single "Skyscraper" and the works of Adele. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Lovato stated, "This song is your heartbreak song. I wanted to have a song that people can listen to when they're going through it, or they're thinking about a time they were heartbroken." They also added that "Stone Cold" "is the type of song that I wanted people to feel in their hearts and ripped their guts out."
Critical reception
Christina Garibaldi of MTV praised Lovato's vocals, claiming that they have "reached new heights" on the song, as well as their emotional delivery.
Music videos
A video featuring a "live in studio" rendition of the song was uploaded to Lovato's Vevo account on October 7, 2015, in promotion of the song's release. On February 19, 2016, Lovato revealed a teaser video for the song's official music video on Twitter. The full music video, directed by Patrick Ecclesine, was released via their Vevo channel on February 23, 2016. The music video was shot in Park City, Utah.
The music video shows Lovato at various locations, such as snowy mountains and a bathtub clothed, singing in a depressive manner. The video ends with a shot of Lovato in the snow.
