Considering the song from the perspective of Lovato as a female in the music industry, the lyrics can be considered her perspective of the experiences to date she\u2019s had in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>When Lovato whispers, <q>So you say I\u2019m complicated,<\/q>&nbsp;and then belts, <q>But you had me underrated,<\/q>&nbsp;she is taking the time to remind listeners that she\u2019s t the top of her game. Before that lyric is first introduced to us, she reminds us that she\u2019s the boss and we\u2019re in her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-image-1516\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/cdn.lyreka.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/demi-lovato-confident-750x336.jpg\" alt=\"Demi Lovato Confident\" class=\"wp-image-1516\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Demi Lovato Confident via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cwLRQn61oUY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Confident&#8221; is a multi-layered song and can be seen as a power anthem from many different angles when Lovato sings the question, <q>What\u2019s wrong with being confident?<\/q> and proceeds to inform the listener that, indeed, confidence is a choice to be taken, not a right to be given when she sings about how she\u2019s letting go.
