[[File:DemiLovatoSkyscraperVideo.jpg|thumb|left|Lovato as she is wandering through the desert in the music video for "Skyscraper"]]
The video begins with Lovato walking towards the camera on a desert road in Boneville Salt Flats while wearing a long white dress.<ref name="MTV Review video"/> A close-up shot of Lovato's face serves as the main portion throughout the first verse. As the first chorus begins, a glass heart enclosed in a glass box is shown with fog surrounding it. The video soon cuts back to Lovato as she continues to walk down the road. In the second verse, a black fabric surrounds her, which represents the "toxicity" that took over her mind in the past and made her suffer inside.<ref name="E News Video"/> She is then seen walking over broken glass, which represents her "taking [the toxicity] off" and "powering through it".<ref name="E News Video"/> As the second chorus begins, Lovato begins to find more strength, with one shot showing her standing inside a photograph frame. In the bridge, the glass box with the heart inside is hit, causing the surface to break. Other scenes of the black fabric and Lovato walking over glass are shown afterwards. As the last chorus begins, a close-up is shown of Lovato as a tear rolls down her cheek. Soon thereafter, a clip of the glass box is shown with the surface being wrecked, but the heart remaining intact, serving as a symbol for "strength and faith during hard times".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://blog.music.aol.com/2011/07/14/demi-lovato-skyscraper-video/|title=Demi Lovato Pours Emotion Into 'Skyscraper' Video|first=Contessa|last=Gayles|date=July 14, 2011|work=AOL Music|publisher=AOL Inc|accessdate=August 7, 2011}}</ref> The video ends with Lovato looking directly into the camera before it fades out.
