Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over is the seventh studio album by American singer Demi Lovato. It was released on April 2, 2021, by Island Records, and was recorded alongside a docu-series by YouTube Originals, titled Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, which documents her recovery and self-discovery. It follows a reformative period in the singer's life and career, after being hospitalized for a drug overdose in 2018. The lyrics of the album emphasize on Lovato's journey through her hurdles and self-empowerment.

Produced by a variety of collaborators, such as Mitch Allan, Lauren Aquilina, Tommy Brown, Oak Felder, Jussifer, Matthew Koma and Pop & Oak, the album is primarily a pop record with elements of pop rock, country pop, folk-pop, and R&B. Multiple versions of the album were made available to pre-order, including alternate artworks, bundles and a Target-exclusive edition with bonus tracks. Lovato released two additional versions of the album, with a deluxe version and an expanded edition that was released digitally including three previously released bonus tracks. It was also delayed in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dancing with the Devil... the Art of Starting Over was supported by the release of four singles: "Anyone", "What Other People Say", "Dancing with the Devil" and "Met Him Last Night". Noah Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Sam Fischer and Saweetie are featured on the album as vocal guests, while collaborations with Sam Smith and Marshmello are included on the digital expanded edition. The album has charted within the top 10 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award in the Outstanding Music Artist category.
