Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco might just be whipping up some musical magic again! Either that or they’re auditioning for a sitcom called Awkward Hellos. On Friday (January 17), Benny—our favorite 36-year-old beat wizard—decided to drop a very subtle hint on TikTok that he and Selena, the reigning queen of catchy heartbreak anthems, are back at it. Cue the internet frenzy.
THE VIDEO: Picture this. Benny strolls into a room, probably thinking about snacks, and BAM! There’s Selena Gomez, casually chilling on a couch like it’s no big deal, a microphone strategically placed in front of her like she’s ready to serenade the snacks too.
“Hi,” Benny says, with the energy of a guy who just found his friend raiding his fridge.
“Hi,” Selena replies, smiling like she’s in on a secret joke we’ll never know.
And that’s it. That’s the whole clip. Talk about leaving us hanging harder than an unsaved game.
THE HISTORY: If this duo sounds familiar, it’s because they’ve teamed up before to bless our ears. Remember Selena’s 2015 Revival album? Benny co-produced “Kill Em with Kindness” and “Same Old Love.” He’s basically the wizard behind the curtain of some of her biggest hits. Fast-forward to 2019, and they brought us the bop “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin. Then, just to keep things spicy, they joined forces in 2023 for “Single Soon.” Clearly, they’ve got a good thing going—and we’re all here for it.
THE SPECULATION: Are they about to give us another anthem to scream-sing in the car? Maybe! Or perhaps they’re just trolling us because, let’s be honest, that’s the kind of chaos we’d expect from this dynamic duo. Either way, the hype is real.
Stay tuned, because if their track record is anything to go by, Selena and Benny are about to drop something we’ll be humming for months. Or at least until TikTok distracts us with another trend.
