Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco just said “I love you”… again, this time louder, dreamier, and with a killer prom aesthetic.
The duo dropped the deluxe edition of their joint album I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back and honestly, it’s like a rom-com on vinyl. The spotlight track Talk is already the Internet’s new sad girl anthem, fusing classic angst with a dash of nostalgia by interpolating Cake’s 1998 hit Never There. Think crying in the club but with glitter.

And the lyrics? They are juicy. Selena confesses to needing her lover “right back” even after he has just left. She throws in a cheeky, I’ma call you daddy' cause I know you like that, which has Gen Z gasping and millennials texting their therapists. It is raw, messy, and so real.
But wait, there is more. This deluxe version is not just an emotional rollercoaster; it is a musical universe. Cowboy featuring GloRilla brings cowboy-core energy to your playlists. Guess You Can Say I’m In Love is a sonic dream soaked in the velvet vocals of Greg Gonzalez from Cigarettes After Sex. Gracie Abrams returns for an acoustic version of Call Me When You Break Up, which feels like it was recorded mid-cry in your best friend’s bedroom. There is even a live version of How Does It Feel To Be Forgotten to rip your heart out and leave it dancing.
Selena Gomez’s new album released on March 21Originally released on March 21, the base album already had collabs with The Marías, Tainy, J Balvin and even writing help from Charli XCX. But this new version is basically a deluxe therapy session with glitter and synths.
Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield called it a much-needed dose of pop-star love stories, and honestly, he is not wrong. With this release, Selena and Benny are not just dropping bangers; they are building their own adorable, chaotic empire. Stream it now and prepare to feel everything.
