Holy Fvck is the eighth studio album by the American singer Demi Lovato, released on August 19, 2022, through Island Records. Primarily a hard rock and pop-punk record, Lovato conceived it as a return to the early rock-influenced sound from her first two studio albums, Don't Forget (2008) and Here We Go Again (2009). The lyrical themes explore Lovato's sexual identity with religious undertones.
Most of the album was produced by Warren "Oak" Felder, Alex Niceforo, and Keith "Ten4" Sorrells, with additional production from Mitch Allan on three tracks. Yungblud, Royal & the Serpent, and Dead Sara appear as featured artists. The album's lead single, "Skin of My Teeth", was released on June 10, 2022. "Substance" and "29" followed as the second and third singles respectively; the latter became the album's only song to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100. To promote Holy Fvck, Lovato embarked on the Holy Fvck Tour throughout North America and South America between August and November 2022. A promotional poster of the album and tour was banned in the United Kingdom by the Advertising Standards Authority for allegedly causing offence to Christians.
Upon its release, Holy Fvck received positive reviews from music critics, appearing in year-end lists of the best music from 2022. Commercially, it peaked at number seven in the United States and the United Kingdom, while also reaching the top 20 in the Flanders region of Belgium, Portugal, Scotland, and Spain. Additionally, the album debuted atop the US Top Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts. For Holy Fvck, Lovato received a nomination at the 34th GLAAD Media Awards for Outstanding Music Artist.
