Demi Lovato Tells Her Truth In New Diss Track "29" Rumored To Be About Ex Wilmer Valderrama
The singer talks down on a major age gap.
Demi Lovato released her new track, “29,” which is rumored to be about her ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, who is 12 years her senior. The former couple met when she was 17 and he was 29, which are prominent lyrics in the new single off her upcoming album, HOLY FVCK.
In the diss track, Lovato addresses a big age gap, revealing that her mentality has changed since turning 29. She sings, “Finally twenty-nine/ Seventeen would never cross my mind/ Thought it was a teenage dream, a fantasy/ But it was yours, it wasn’t mine/ Seventeen, twenty-nine.”
Lovato was recently asked if “29” is indeed about the That ’70s Show actor during a new interview with Apple Music‘s Zane Lowe. She responded, “Sometimes saying less is more.”
She added, “I’m very careful with the way that I answer these questions because I feel like the song says it all … I don’t have to say too much, to be honest.”

[Verse 1]
Petal on the vine, too young to drink wine
Just five years a bleeder, student and a teacher
Far from innocent, what the f–k’s consent?
Numbers told you not to, but that didn’t stop you[Chorus]
Finally twenty-nine
Funny, just like you were at the time
Thought it was a teenage dream, just a fantasy
But was it yours or was it mine?
Seventeen, twenty-nine[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Seventeen, twenty-nine[Verse 2]
Had me in your grip, went beautifully with
All my daddy issues and this s–t continues
I see you’re quite the collector
Yeah, you’re twelve years her elder
Maybe now it doesn’t matter
But I know f–king better
Now I know fucking better ’cause I’m[Chorus]
Finally twenty-nine
Funny, just like you were at the time
Thought it was a teenage dream just a fantasy
But was it yours or was it mine?
Seventeen, twenty-nine[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Seventeen, twenty-nine
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Seventeen, twenty-nine[Chorus]
Finally twenty-nine
Seventeen would never cross my mind
Thought it was a teenage dream, a fantasy
But it was yours, it wasn’t mine
Seventeen, twenty-nine[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
