Wondros Music+Vision’s Mark Pellington created the music video for Demi Lovato’s new song “Skyscraper.” The song is a very personal tune about being in a dark place, only to overcome and rise higher than ever.

Lovato said in an interview with Ryan Seacrest that she didn’t want the video for “Skyscraper” to be about hair, makeup or the glitz factor – instead she wanted an honest video that conveys the song’s message.

The end result is a visually stunning, appropriately powerful glimpse of Lovato’s emotional rawness that has taken the Internet, and the world by a storm.
