Unfiltered Version:
Selena Gomez, the 32-year-old singer-actress, and her beau, music producer and songwriter Benny Blanco (36), are gearing up to drop a joint album. As per Variety's reports, the album titled "I Said I Love You First" is hitting the charts on March 21st.
A Peek into their Love Story
Their romantic journey became public knowledge in December 2023, and a year later, they were engaged. The album serves as a testament to their love story, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look. It tracks their tale from before they crossed paths, to falling head over heels in love, and towards their shared future.
A preview of their musical journey is already out there. The single "Scared of Loving You" was co-written by Gomez, Blanco, and Finneas (27). The ballad expresses their vulnerabilities: "Because I'm not afraid to love you. I'm just afraid to lose you. I'm not afraid of anyone or of dying young. Or if you'll find someone new. Because how could they love you as much as I do?"
Gomez has been heavily invested in her acting career recently, promoting her role in "Emilia Pérez." Her last studio album, "Rare," dropped in 2020.

Gomez shared a clip from a romantic date at an amusement park on Instagram. The album's lyric video features them cozied up in bed, with hands intertwined.
