Selena Gomez will drop a new album with her fiancé and “best friend” Benny Blanco next month.
The 32-year-old pop megastar has shocked fans by announcing the couple’s upcoming collaboration, I Said I Love You First, will drop on March 21, after she “tricked” her supporters.
She wrote on Instagram: “I always trick you guys. My NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21 … 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!”
Commenting on the post, Benny wrote: “I love you baby.”
While the March release date will have come as a shock to some, others may not have been that surprised after the showbiz power couple were recently in the studio together working on new music.
Last month, a fan commented on one of Benny’s TikTok videos writing: “Benny please make some new songs for our queen,” and he replied with brief clip of Selena sitting behind a microphone in their home studio.
Benny previously co-produced “Kill Em with Kindness” and “Same Old Love” from Selena’s 2015 album Revival, and in 2019 they collaborated on “I Can’t Get Enough” alongside Tainy and J Balvin.
They also worked on Selena’s 2024 song “Single Soon.”
Selena recently revealed she feels genuinely “happy” in her life after getting engaged to record producer Benny.
She told E! News: “I’m genuinely happy where I am and I feel great. People tend to question every part of my life, but that’s OK. I think as long as I know where I am and who I’m around, I’m solid.”
