The ex-Disney star recently made an appearance on Ryan Seacrest’s show in Los Angeles, accompanied by two friends. During her time on the show, she opened up about her emotions regarding her two latest songs, “Lose You To Love Me” and “Look At Her Now,” which are clearly inspired by her past relationship with Justin Bieber.
During their conversation, the 27-year-old influencer expressed her contentment in not being in the same emotional state as she was when she penned the song “The Heart Wants What It Wants” in 2014. That particular track delved into her addiction to Bieber, whereas her new release “Lose You To Love Me” explores her newfound freedom from him. Both music videos employ a close-up black-and-white aesthetic.
Truth can sometimes be painful, and Selena Gomez recently opened up about her emotions surrounding her two new songs, “Lost You To Love Me” and “Look At Her Now,” during her visit to Ryan Seacrest’s show in Los Angeles. It was evident that these songs were inspired by her past relationship with Justin Bieber, as she shared her thoughts alongside two of her friends.
Interestingly, Selena Gomez mentioned that her favorite music video she has ever recorded is for the song “The Heart Wants What It Wants.” However, she expressed her current happiness and contrasting feelings with her latest release, “Lost You To Love Me,” which serves as a powerful conclusion to her journey. It seems that she has finally moved on from Justin Bieber, and she described this transformation as the greatest feeling she has experienced.
The lyrics of “Lost You To Love Me” also reflect Selena Gomez’s clear intention to say goodbye to her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber. It’s worth noting that shortly after their split, Bieber quickly moved on and got married to Hailey Baldwin, a model. Through her music, Gomez is definitively moving forward and embracing her new chapter in life.
In relation to him: She mentioned that her favorite video is The Heart Wants What It Wants and now she has the opportunity to release Lose You To Love Me, which feels like a perfect ending. ‘The journey from that point to where I am now brings me the greatest sense of contentment,’ she expressed, implying that she is finally happy to have moved on from Bieber completely.
Gomez also disclosed the reason why she didn’t release these songs earlier.
‘The timing couldn’t be more ideal because if I had released them two years ago, none of the emotions that I express in these songs would have even existed.
‘Taking the time to truly experience the emotions that I’ve gone through, I just… I can’t put it into words. I’m just incredibly grateful that it’s finally out. It’s strange too because I wrote this song over a year ago… and it’s as if I feel completely transformed compared to when I first wrote it. … It’s an incredibly fascinating sensation.
It’s the perfect moment! Gomez further elaborated on the reason behind not releasing the songs sooner. According to her, the timing now couldn’t be more ideal as if she had released them two years ago, none of the lyrics she sings today would have even existed.
She experienced immense pain: “Pausing for a moment to truly acknowledge and embrace the emotions I’ve endured, it’s honestly indescribable—I can’t put it into words. I’m simply filled with gratitude that it’s finally released. It’s peculiar because I penned this song more than a year ago…and now, I feel like an entirely different person compared to the one who wrote it. It’s a fascinating sensation,” she remarked.
In the past when they were filled with joy: They rekindled their romance from November 2017 to March 2018. In the image on the left, they are captured in 2018, while the one on the right was taken in November 2011.
For her, the significance of the song lies in the fact that she vividly remembers the moment she wrote it and the emotions she experienced.
Revealing the song at the time of its creation would have been too challenging, but now she finds it enjoyable. It brings a smile to her face as it encompasses a range of emotions – from happiness to deep sentiments and the realization of certain frustrations. She wanted to validate all those intense feelings.
Ryan brings up the topic of Justin being seen with Hailey and acknowledges how difficult that must have been for her.
She felt a strong frustration towards her work of art, explaining that its beauty lies in the fact that she remembers exactly where she was and how she felt when she created it. At the time of its creation, it would have been too difficult for her to release it, but now it brings her joy and a smile. The piece encompasses a range of emotions, from happiness to deep emotional realizations and even frustrations, and she wanted to validate and capture all of those feelings.
She admitted to feeling immense gratitude for having experienced similar emotions countless times before – a consequence of her chosen profession. While her experiences feel very real to her, she understands that for others it is merely entertainment. However, she believes that it would be unfair to herself and to her art if she were to ignore or suppress those intense emotions. Authenticity is a core value for her, and she strives to always reflect it in her work and actions.
She recognizes that there are thousands of people who have felt the same way she has, emphasizing the genuine nature of these emotions. Adding to the complexity of the situation is the presence of social media and the constant exposure to negativity. It doesn’t matter whether one is in her position or in someone else’s, as negative spaces can be found everywhere. To maintain her focus and ensure that her work remains true to herself, she acknowledges the need to take steps back from external influences and concentrate solely on her own path.
He caused her a great deal of pain: ‘To me, it feels incredibly significant, but I understand that for others, it may just be a form of entertainment. However, I had grown accustomed to the pain, and it would be foolish of me to deny my emotions. I strive to be genuine and true to myself, so it would be hypocritical not to acknowledge what I have experienced,’ she expressed.
Then this incident occurred: Justin and Selena broke up, and shortly after, Justin began dating Hailey. They got married in September 2018 and recently had a formal wedding. The couple has been seen together this month.
Hailey mentioned that she waited a long time to share her feelings because she wanted to express them accurately. She believes that her expression of emotions through art is significant.
Gomez further explained that she is surprised by people’s reactions because writing about one’s feelings, particularly love, is a common theme. It only makes sense for her to write about her heartbreak.
Gomez revealed that she has been waiting this long to share her emotions because she always aims to be honest with others. Although she may not talk about it extensively, she considers this platform as a way to release her emotions and transform them into art.
She turned her gaze back, seeking a purpose behind her actions. She explained that she had waited patiently for so long to “express her true emotions” because she wanted to convey them with complete accuracy. “This is where the transformation into art happens,” the brunette remarked.
“It honestly surprises me. People tend to write about their emotions, and the most popular topic is love, which, in a way, is not negative at all. It is actually something positive that I was fortunate enough to experience, even though it had moments of both beauty and ugliness. I find it beautiful that I have been able to transform this journey into a new chapter of my life.”
The music video for “Lose You To Love Me” was shot in black and white, giving it a raw and authentic feel, which she agreed upon.
Furthermore, she mentioned that the second video featured choreography and was captured using numerous phones attached to the walls and all around the set.
Their romantic history dates back to 2011, signifying a significant and enduring connection between the two.
Bold move: The initial track from her album is titled Embrace Freedom Through Letting You Go and emanates a deeply authentic vibe.
Here’s a unique and original version:
Another catchy tune in Selena Gomez’s repertoire is titled “Look At Her Now,” a track that exudes a powerful message of empowerment. Selena emphasized that this song marks her transition towards greater and more exciting endeavors. With a sense of closure, she described how these two songs symbolize the culmination of a significant chapter in her life.
Furthermore, Selena assured her fans that the remaining tracks on her album reflect the person she has become today. She confidently declared, “I’ve saved the best for later,” promising a collection of songs that truly embody her current essence.
When asked about the emotional aspect of releasing these heart-wrenching songs consecutively, the singer openly acknowledged their connection to her past heartbreak over Justin Bieber. Reflecting on her journey, Selena expressed a profound sense of relief, emphasizing that she has dedicated four years to working on this album.
Returning to the professional scene, Selena not only has new music on the horizon but has also recently collaborated with Puma for another photoshoot. During an interview with E! News, she shared that she wrote the emotionally charged song “Lose You To Love Me” over a year ago. Reflecting on her journey since then, Selena expressed how interesting it has been to see the progress she has made. Sharing her personal experiences and being genuine has always been a part of Selena’s approach, and she couldn’t imagine being inauthentic about the challenges she has faced. Having been through an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber for several years, Selena hopes that her fans can connect with her latest single on a deeper level.
Gaining a retro feel, she stands near an old-fashioned house and a classic car, tending to the plants. With heartfelt sincerity, she expresses, “This song carries a universal message of support, released to uplift both women and men worldwide. It’s a feeling we’ve all experienced.” She emphasizes that regardless of the consequences, it was a necessary step for her own self-growth.
Despite not explicitly mentioning Justin’s name, sources claim that Selena’s latest single undoubtedly revolves around him rather than her past relationship with The Weeknd. The insiders clarify that while she collaborated on “Lose You to Love Me,” Selena played a significant role in its creation and its lyrics point to Justin. The brief fling she had with The Weeknd did not serve as the inspiration for the song as their relationship wasn’t long-lasting or profound enough.
Rumors have linked Selena to Niall Horan, a 26-year-old artist. In a show of support, her friend Taylor Swift describes the song “Lose You to Love Me” as “flawless” and a resounding success.
