Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco Shock the World With Surprise Album ‘I Said I Love You First’—Because, Apparently, She Did

Buy Me A Coffee

Selena Gomez just pulled the ultimate “Gotcha!” on all of us.

On Thursday (February 13), the 32-year-old pop queen, actress, beauty mogul, and all-around icon hopped on social media to reveal that she and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, had been cooking up something special—an entire album called I Said I Love You First. Not only that, but she also dropped the first single, “Scared of Loving You,” because what’s love without a little bit of crippling emotional turmoil?

The Plot Twist We Didn’t See Coming
This shocking revelation comes just weeks after Selena had us all clutching our pearls, thinking she was about to retire from pop music. “I’m getting too old for this pop star life,” she hinted on Instagram, leading fans to believe she was about to trade in her mic for a nice, cozy cardigan and a quiet life of sipping tea.

PSYCH!
“I tricked you guys,” she gleefully admitted. That’s right—she lured us into a false sense of panic only to hit us with a whole new album, crafted alongside her “best friend” (a.k.a. the man who puts the Benny in Benny Blanco).

Mark Your Calendars, Swifties—Wait, Wrong Fanbase
I Said I Love You First is set to bless our ears on March 21 (yes, start planning your dramatic, emotionally unstable listening parties now). Preorders are live, so if you’ve got commitment issues, now’s the time to work through them.

“We can’t wait to share this special project with you soon,” Selena gushed, presumably while Benny stood next to her, nodding like a proud fiancé who knows he just secured the bag.

The Song That’ll Have Us All in Our Feels
The first single, Scared of Loving You, is out now, and let’s just say, it’s the perfect anthem for those of us who love a little too hard and trust a little too recklessly.

“When I was young, I would love too fast / Hope I don’t repeat my past / ‘Cause I’m not scared of lovin’ you / I’m just scared of losin’ you,” she sings, essentially summing up every doomed relationship we’ve ever witnessed (or been in—no judgment).

A Benny & Selena Love Story (With Bops)
If you’re wondering why these two sound so good together, it’s because they’ve been musically vibing for a minute now. Benny and Selena have worked on several hits in the past, including Kill Em with Kindness, Same Old Love, and Single Soon—aka songs that fueled many a shower cry session. They even teamed up on I Can’t Get Enough with Tainy and J Balvin, proving that their collabs always bring the heat.

Selena Gomez is still very much a pop star, she’s still got surprises up her sleeve, and she’s still out here making us question our own love lives. We can’t wait for March 21, when we’ll be dramatically staring out of car windows and feeling all the feelings.
