Songfacts®:

  • Chesney told CMT about this song: "In the song, it talks about music being a demon. It talks about women being a demon - which I confess, that might be mine. And it talks about alcohol and drugs. I know people that have one of those somewhere. Or I know people that have got all of them at once. Are you kidding me? (laughs) What am I talking about?! But we do. It's how you deal with it and how you move on and how you choose to lead your life. I think that's what makes this song so powerful."

  • Vishakha Singh from CanadaI love the lyrics of Demons by Kenny Chesney! It’s kind of dark but very powerful and profound .. sung beautifully!! We all face our own demons in our lives and try to face our fears and learn to move on, if only we can identify it!!
