TikTok just got a double dose of pop star charisma. Demi Lovato and Charli XCX both posted videos to a sped-up mashup of “This Is Me” from Camp Rock and Charli’s own hit “360,” each putting their own spin on the viral moment.
Demi’s Dramatic Strut
Demi Lovato’s clip is pure performance art. She struts into frame, hands weaving through her hair as if she’s in a high-fashion campaign, mouthing along to the mashup’s dramatic beats. Then she takes it to the floor, lying back, hair spilling behind her, before crawling toward the camera under flashing paparazzi lights. It’s campy, it’s flirty, the kind of video that makes you pause mid-scroll.
Charli’s Cheeky Reply
Charli XCX wasn’t going to let Demi have all the fun. Her video kicks off with her stepping out of a trailer, oversized sunglasses firmly in place, black dress swaying as she struts toward the camera. Jacket off, she leans in to the lyrics before also dropping to the floor and crawling forward just like Demi. Then she takes it a step further, rolling around in playful disarray before springing up, tossing her shades at the camera, and breaking into a laugh. Oh Charli, you know exactly how to make TikTok yours. Demi even commented on her post saying, “obsessed!” making us all wonder if the two pop stars might potentially hop on a remix together.
Why the Mashup Works
“This Is Me” is a nostalgic anthem for a generation of Disney Channel fans, while “360” is a slick, self-assured pop track. Together, they’re unexpected but oddly seamless, bridging late-2000s teen movie earnestness with Charli’s modern club-ready swagger. Seeing both artists embrace it in back-to-back videos only fuels the trend’s momentum.
Recent Moves from Both Stars
This TikTok moment comes amid busy seasons for both singers.
For Charli, it follows her appearance at Norway’s Oslo Pix Film Festival, where she introduced Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value. In her speech, she shared how the film stuck with her for days, making her reflect on family dynamics and the push-pull between love and art.
Demi, meanwhile, recently gave Camp Rock fans the ultimate throwback. During the Jonas Brothers’ JONAS20 tour stop at MetLife Stadium, she joined Joe Jonas for surprise renditions of “Gotta Find You” and “This Is Me.” It was a Disney Channel fever dream come to life, 15 years after the original premiere.
A Pop Culture Full Circle
Seeing Demi perform “This Is Me” live again and then turn around to dance to it with Charli’s “360” is the kind of timeline collision that makes the internet hum. It’s nostalgia complete with fierce struts and one perfectly timed pair of sunglasses flying at the camera.
