Demi appears to have confirmed this as Confident's next single - she helped give it a radio premiere at iHeartRadio CHR station KZHT in Salt Lake City today.
(Wasn't there a thread for this before? Why can't I find it anywhere?)

YAY! I love this song, the vocals are amazing, and I can't wait to belt it out when I hear it on the radio!

One of the best songs on her album. Hearing this on the radio will be totally awesome!
Her next big hit single to smash hard!

This song is a bit over the top, but she sounds amazing. I think it's a natural choice as the third single, because she seems to love this one.

This doesn't sound like a hit at all, but that's just my two cents.

Love the song to death, bad thing is I am positive it won't perform so well on Hot 100. Then again, Demi songs usually never perform great on the charts or at least not to the extent they deserve.

I think this will either be huge or do next to nothing, so I really hope it catches on in a big way because it's a great song with a killer vocal and it offers up something different from her latest string of hits. It's definitely the smartest ballad choice to put out to radio from the album, imo, and again a nice change of pace for her.

I'm glad she is putting out a ballad for a change. However, I can't help wish it was "Yes" instead. Yes remains my favorite ballad of the album and with Wilmer & V Day coming up, I was hoping she'd pick that one instead but oh well, it's all good! Stone Cold is beautiful however, I feel that some of the vocals are too shouty for the radio (and general public) to truly appreciate.
Time will tell if this was the right choice though.

I love her. I like this song. Not as a single. It's terrible that her best ballads are the ones that's never been released.
She's banking on this being big and a Grammy contender, but she's sadly mistaken. The draw to this song is her vocal performance. The melody is forgettable to be honest. And she doesn't have the Adele power to propel it further.

Best vocals in Top 40 Pop music. That's just my 2 and a half cents.

I'm surprised their ending the era so young. (kidding) I kind of like this song but I'm not sure with the lack of a super strong chorus/melody that it will do all that well. Hopefully she can get some big live performances to show this song off. I'm thinking it would be more affective live.

I have a feeling this will be a moderate hit for her. If she can nail a couple of more live performances, I can see people reacting positively to her vocals. Here's hoping we at least get one more single for this era.

I really think this is kind of awful and over the top. 'For You' would be a smash hit imo.

It's definitely not as good as she thinks it is, but I do think it's one of her better songs. I can't help but wonder how this would sound with Adele singing it though.

That Ellen performance was awkweird - the ending was atrocious and she genuinely thought it was good.

I love Demi, but those vocals... she needs to show a little vocal control, the whole performance was shouty.

She's had better performances of this song. I'm not going to call it atrocious, especially when you consider other pop stars at the moment.

If this does well (which i really don't think it will although i wish it the best), she needs to stop playing and release Mr. Hughes as the next single. It's perhaps not the most radio friendly song on the album, but it could take her to great places if people embrace it. It's upbeat, fun, and classical sounding. Definitely a risk worth taking, in my opinion!

This doesn't sound like a hit at all, but that's just my two cents. Agreed, I prefer her previous two singles so far but she seems to LOVE this song as she performed it several times during promo tours. A little too slow and shrieky for me.
