It comes as the 27-year-old became engaged to the "love of [her] life" Max Ehrich this week although highlighted her recovery was also down to her own self-improvement.

“…I can genuinely say I feel free of my demons,” she went on. “Each and every one. I never thought this feeling was possible.

"And it’s not just because I fell in love (although that didn’t hurt), but because over the past 2 years, I’ve done more work on myself than I have in my entire life."

Lovato also shared that her "relationship with God" provided her with "infinite security" before adding: "I vow to love myself. You can’t fully love another without loving yourself first.”

“I asked for help, and didn’t receive the help that I needed,” she said to Ellen Degeneres on the presenter’s self-titled show.

After the overdose, Lovato completed a stint in rehab.
