Selena Gomez References ‘Past' Failed Romances on New Song With Fiance Benny Blanco
'If I broke your heart / Would you take me back? / If I broke my arm / Would you sign my cast?' Gomez, 32, sang in the first verse of the track that dropped on Thursday, February 13. 'When I was young / I would love too fast / Hope I don't repeat my past.'
Before finding love with Blanco, Gomez was romantically linked to several A-listers over the years. The singer dated Nick Jonas when they were both Disney Channel stars. She also had a short-lived romance with The Weeknd. Gomez was famously in an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber from 2011 to 2018. The pair called it quits for good months before Bieber wed wife Hailey Bieber.
While Gomez admitted on her new song that she was nervous about making the same mistakes in her new romance, she shared that this time something felt different.
Looking Back at All of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Musical Collaborations
'Cause I'm not scared of loving you / I'm just scared of losing you,' Gomez sang on the ballad's chorus. 'I'm not scared of anyone / Or dying young / Or if you're gonna find somebody new / Because how could they love you as much as I do.'
Gomez announced that she and Blanco, 36, were releasing an album together.
'I always trick you guys 🥰 my NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21 🖤,' she wrote via Instagram alongside the album's artwork that featured the couple. 'Our first song, 'Scared of Loving You' is out now on all streaming platforms. Merchandise and signed products for the album are available for pre-order now. We can't wait to share this special project with you soon!'
The post included a series of snaps of Gomez and Blanco. One photo — which also serves as the cover art for 'Scared of Loving You' — featured a glimpse from a keyhole peeping in on the pair as they sat on a bed together. An additional snap included another angle from the bed scene. Gomez's head is turned toward the camera as she remains in a tabletop position. Blanco, for his part, is staring lovingly at his fiancée.
Blanco and Gomez confirmed they were dating in December 2023 after being friends for years. Before their relationship turned romantic, the pair collaborated in the studio on several hit songs including 'Same Old Love,' 'Kill Em With Kindness' and more.
Benny Blanco 'Still Can't Believe' He's Engaged to Selena Gomez After Grand Proposal
One year after they went public with their romance, the couple got engaged.
'Forever begins now,' Gomez captioned a December 2024 Instagram post, that showed off her engagement ring. Blanco celebrated the milestone moment, writing in the comments section, 'Hey wait… that's my wife.'
Last month, Blanco and Gomez hinted they were working on a project together. When asked by a fan to 'make some new songs for our queen' on social media, the record producer created a TikTok that featured Gomez adjusting a microphone as she sat on a couch. In the video, she smiled as Blanco approached and playfully said, 'Hi.'

Brooke Hogan asked out of Hulk Hogan's will over family fears: ‘I don't know how deep this stuff goes'
Brooke Hogan has opened up about why she removed herself from Hulk Hogan's will in 2023. 'I was now pregnant with twins and married, and my husband's family is so kind and so sweet. And I have something to lose, money didn't matter,' the daughter of the WWE icon said Tuesday on former Hulk friend Bubba the Love Sponge's show. 'I was sobbing, and I just said, 'Take me off everything, I don't want to be a part of it.'' Hulk, whose real name was Terry Bollea, died at the age of 71 on July 24 after a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Fla. Brooke, 37, said she took herself off the will to avoid potential conflicts with other family members, including her mother, Linda Hogan, and Hulk's third wife, Sky Daily. Brooke expressed concern because Linda 'has been known to kind of find herself in the mix with things like that,' and because she had heard that Daily was a Scientologist, and knew the organization had 'powerful backing.' Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan on Dec. 15, 2006. MediaPunch/Shutterstock 'I'm like, 'I don't want to fight Linda, I don't want to find Scientology, I don't want somebody that I love to get knocked off, I don't know how deep this stuff goes,'' Brooke said. 'It scared me, and I just said, 'I want out.'' She did qualify that remark by saying she had 'no problem' with Daily, who she said was always nice to her. She then added that she hopes her father would have trusted her with his intellectual property and trademarks, because she 'would have done the right thing.' Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan on Dec. 2, 2006. REUTERS 'I would have made him an Elvis legacy, or a Marilyn Monroe legacy, or a Selena [Quintanilla-Perez] legacy,' she said. 'And I hope that whoever has his marks does that. I just know that the people around him are pretty shady and not in his best interest.' Brooke was not in attendance at Hogan's 2023 wedding with Daily, and TMZ reported that Brooke and Hulk had their last conversation two weeks before the wedding. In an Instagram post last week, Brooke honored her father in a post that said: 'You were my everything and I will always be your daughter – for all the love, light and goodness you brought into this world.'

Sofia Carson Has Kept Her Love Life Incredibly Private—Here's All We Know
THE RUNDOWN Sofia Carson may be known for her romantic roles on-screen, but off-camera, she's made a point to keep her love life private. Over the years, the My Oxford Year star has been the subject of a few dating rumors, but she has rarely addressed her personal relationships publicly. Instead, throughout her career, Carson has consistently expressed her desire to keep her romantic life out of the spotlight. In a May 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan, she said, 'I've never tried dating apps. I made a decision about two years ago that I don't want to date anyone in the business...I'm dating my career.' Earlier, in a December 2017 interview with Coveteur, Carson shared that she had experienced heartbreak. 'I have gotten my heart broken,' she said, without naming names. 'My whole life I've been afraid of falling in love, just because that means being vulnerable and that you could get hurt.' Despite her preference for privacy, a few moments over the years have sparked public curiosity. Here's what we know about Carson's relationship history so far. In 2017, Carson celebrated actor Manolo Gonzalez Vergara's birthday on X, writing, 'Happy birthday to youuuu❤ love you my Cher loving twinn❤ all my love always @ManoloGonVer.' Her post helped fuel dating rumors. In February 2018, Gonzalez Vergara shared a video on Instagram of himself squatting while holding Carson, captioning it: 'Not being able to make it to the gym is no excuse for missing a work out. Just pick up your nearest Sofia and crush those front/back squats.' The pair never commented on the speculation, and there was no official confirmation of a relationship. In 2022, Carson starred opposite Nicholas Galitzine in Netflix's Purple Hearts, where their on-screen chemistry fueled speculation about an offscreen romance. They promoted the film together and even joked about their bond during interviews. On Aug. 2, 2022, Carson posted a photo with Galitzine on Instagram with the caption, 'remember that one time we got married @nicholasgalitzine.' Later that month, Carson posted a photo of her and Galitzine kissing, writing, 'my heart isn't mine now it's yours.' Despite the posts, neither actor confirmed a romantic relationship. When asked about keeping her private life out of the public eye, Carson told Extra in January 2022, 'To me, it's about my art and the music and the films that I put out into the world and not about my personal life. I still do love sharing personal moments that are special to me with fans, but it was definitely a choice to keep my private life private because it's not what this is about for me.' Carson was linked to Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans after the two worked together for the 2023 Global Citizen Festival. In May 2025, DeuxMoi ran a tip that suggested the pair was dating, per Cosmopolitan. However, there has been no confirmation or public acknowledgment of a relationship.
