Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco debut new song at anniversary screening of 'Spring Breakers'

"It was a really fun shoot," she expressed to W Magazine. "Spring Breakers was a ride. It was something that I felt I needed a jolt of and that little taste of working on that film as audacious as it was, I felt a rush I had never felt before."

As for the couple's new album, Blanco told Rolling Stone, "I hadn’t seen her excited about music for a long time. And I remember she was like, 'I have to pull over the car because I’m so happy.' And then I knew at that moment. I was like, 'Well, if it’s making both of us happy, then hopefully it makes a few other people happy.'" 

"We had been together for a while, and obviously, I would confide in him. I couldn’t figure out my sound," Gomez explained. "It helps that he knows a little bit about music, and it kind of happened organically to where I felt like this process was unlike any other process I’d ever been through."

Gomez shared their engagement news on December 11, 2024, via Instagram, writing, "forever begins now.." 

I Said I Love You First
will be released on March 21.
