This is what Alex said about "crown" , the song he wrote for Demi :

out of all of the songs we have been writing for this record, i would say that “crown” is probably the most personal. the situation it was written about was very personal and hit me really hard. someone that was very close to me was going through a very hard time, and felt alone and all of their insecurities were like knives being pushed deeper inside of them everyday. they were the most beautiful and incredible person i knew. this song was my letter to them telling them that when they think they have absolutely nothing left…when they feel like they are a nobody…like no one listens or cares…to wear love like a crown. that you can live and feel like a king or queen if you just can gather up enough love. love comes from all sorts of different places. from family, friends, from appreciation of the world around you, memories, etc. i also wanted them to know that no matter how hard things got, no matter how much they kicked, screamed, and pushed me away…i wasn’t going to go anywhere and that if they ever needed anything i would be around. here are a few of the lyrics.

“when you’re feeling lost and want to be found,
wear love like a crown.
when pieces of you fall to the ground,
wear love like a crown.
when you’ve got nothing left to hold,
you can call my arms your home sweet home
you’re amazing and i’ll shout it out.
so won’t you wear my love just like a crown.”
