Selena Gomez Reveals the Inspiration Behind Her New Songs, Says the Best Is Yet to Come

It's been four years since Selena Gomez released her last album, and the 27-year-old singer is finally getting ready to debut another one. After dropping two new singles, "Lose You to Love Me" and "Look at Her Now," earlier this week, Gomez stopped by On Air With Ryan Seacrest to explain why her third studio album was worth the wait.

"It's actually perfect timing because I was going to release it two years ago and none of the words that I'm speaking would have existed," she explained. While Gomez didn't reveal any other details, she did explain the inspiration behind "Lose You to Love Me," which is speculated to be about her previous romance with Justin Bieber.

"It's all very real to me, and I'm sure it's just entertainment for other people, but I just — I think I had become numb to it, and it would be stupid of me if I didn't acknowledge what I had felt because it would be inauthentic, and that's everything I claim to be," Gomez explained. "I mean it's all the feelings, right? It's everything from happy and emotional to just realizing it and being frustrated . . . I just wanted to validate all of those feelings because they were extremely real to me."
