Selena Gomez and Gracie Abrams are teasing a collaboration
Selena Gomez and Gracie Abrams appear to be teasing a song together – find out more below.
Last week (February 14), Selena Gomez confirmed her long-awaited return to music, announcing that she will soon be releasing a collaborative album with her fiancé Benny Blanco.
That album, ‘I Said I Love You First’, is due for release on March 21 – you can pre-save and pre-order the album here. It is previewed by the single ‘Scared Of Loving You’, which was released on Valentine’s Day.
Yesterday (February 18), Gomez’s fiancé Benny Blanco – who is also a musician and producer – sparked rumours of a collaboration between Selena and Gracie Abrams after he uploaded a video on Instagram showing both singers sitting on a bed together.
Blanco opens the door to a room where he sees the two of them chatting and asks “What are you guys doing in here?” as Gracie Abrams waves to the camera.
Following Benny Blanco’s post, Selena Gomez shared a video of her herself – wearing the same outfit from the Gracie video – singing along to a new song, mouthing the lyrics: “Call me when you break up / I wanna be the first one on your mind when you wake up.”
Gracie Abrams then shared Gomez’s video on her own Instagram Stories, further pushing the theory that the artists will be teaming up for a track together on ‘I Said I Love You First’.
Now, the collaboration appears to be set in stone, with the tracklisting for ‘I Said I Love You’ on Apple Music now showing that the record’s next single is titled ‘Call Me When You Break Up’ and features Abrams. A release date for the single has yet to be announced.
‘I Said I Love You First’ will chronicle the couple’s “love story” – they worked together on several of her hit songs dating back to 2015’s ‘Same Old Love’. The pair confirmed their romantic relationship in December 2023, with Gomez confirming that she had been seeing the producer for about six months. They announced their engagement in December 2024.
The new music follows Gomez confessing to fellow actor Saoirse Ronan that while she thinks she’s “a little too old for the pop star life” now, she’ll “always have music in my life because my partner’s a musician, and I love having moments to do it for fun.”
Prior to that, she said that her music career “isn’t going away”, but that she’d like to focus on acting as she gets to hold on to her “sanity” as acting would allow her to tell other people’s stories rather than her own through music.
Previously speaking to NME‘s Alex Flood to promote her latest film Emilia Perez with Zoe Saldaña, she was asked for an update on new music as her last album, ‘Rare‘, had arrived back in 2020. When asked about a new album, Gomez replied: “Well, if I had one, I would love to talk about it. I think right now it’s been really nice focusing on this side of the playing field. We’ll see, you never know.” – read NME‘s full chat with Gomez and Saldaña here.
In a three-star review of Emilia Perez, Sophia Butcher wrote for NME: “You’ve probably never seen a movie like Emilia Perez before – and whilst there is enough meat in the performances to make you somewhat glad you did, you might not want to again.”
Emilia Pérez has achieved a record 13 nominations for this year’s Oscars, including Best Film, Best Supporting Actress for Saldaña, and Best Actress for Karla Sofía Gascón – the first openly Transgender person to be nominated for the category.
