Learning to Sing ‘Anyone’ by Demi Lovato: A Guide to Belting and Emotional Transparency

The power ballad ‘Anyone’ by Demi Lovato is a tour de force of vocal technique and emotional expression. The song’s primary technique is belting, a hallmark of pop and musical theatre that requires strength, control, and confidence. Belting involves singing high notes in your chest voice without flipping into head voice.

The emotion in ‘Anyone’ makes this song not just a test of technique, but also a leap into vulnerability and personal connection. It’s this mix of technical prowess and emotional transparency that makes the song so compelling.
