“As we were editing the film, I became very inspired to write a song. The idea of connecting with my younger self through the pain and hardships that came along with child stardom was so important to me,” Demi continued. “I wrote the song as a letter to my inner child, and I hope that it can give others an opportunity to connect with their inner child as well.”
Child Star will be released on Hulu on Tuesday, Sept. 17 – watch the trailer here.
