Following the release of her introspective Apple TV+ documentary, "My Mind and Me," Selena Gomez is preparing to release her fourth studio album.
"I just finished season four of my cooking show, and I am in LA working on my album now," she said in a May 2022 interview on the "Crew Call" podcast. News of Gomez's upcoming album comes just one year after the singer hinted at "retiring" from music. "I think there are a lot of people who enjoy my music, and for that I'm so thankful, for that I keep going, but I think the next time I do an album it'll be different," Gomez said in her Vogue 2021 cover story. "I want to give it one last try before I maybe retire music."
Gomez's new album will be her first solo release since her 2021 Spanish EP, "Revelación." In August 2020, she also released her collab, "Ice Cream," with K-pop giant Blackpink. She also released "999," a 2021 collab with Camilo; "Let Somebody Go," a 2022 collab with Coldplay; and, more recently, a "Calm Down" remix with Rema.
While Gomez hasn't announced an official album title or release date, she has hinted at a possible tour to accompany her new album. "I am open to a tour, a thousand percent, but I obviously have obligations and things I wanna do, so when the time's right," she added. "It's not the top of my priority list."
In June, Gomez posted photos of herself in the recording studio on Instagram. "don't worry guys, it's coming. Even from Paris," she captioned the photos. In the comments section, even celebrity friends were curious to know more. "TELL US MORE!!!!!!!!!" Serena Williams wrote, echoing the thoughts of fans worldwide.
The most recent album tease came in August when she released her uplifting breakup anthem, "Single Soon," hinting that more music will follow soon.
