Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have taken the music world by storm with their new collaborative album, I Said I Love You First.

Released on 21 March 2025, this project is a heartfelt tribute to their love story.

SELENA GOMEZ AND BENNY BLANCO

The album chronicles Gomez and Blanco’s journey as a couple. From their first meeting to their engagement in December 2024. Every track reflects a chapter of their relationship, according to Forbes.

“This album is our story,” Gomez shared on Instagram. “It’s raw, real, and ours.” Blanco echoed her sentiment, saying, “I can’t believe I get to spend my life with her.”

THE ALBUM TRACKS

The opening track, Younger and Hotter Than Me, sets the tone with a mix of vulnerability and self-reflection.

Selena Gomez’s soft vocals capture the insecurities many can relate to.

“All of the girls at this party / Are younger and hotter than me,” she sings. It’s a poignant start that hooks listeners immediately.

While the album celebrates love, it avoids being overly sweet. Tracks like Call Me When You Break Up, featuring Gracie Abrams, bring playful pop-rock energy, according to Elle.

A FRESH AND ENGAGING ALBUM

Meanwhile, Bluest Flame, co-written with Charli XCX, dives into hyperpop with its liquid electro beats. These shifts keep the album fresh and engaging.

For fans of sultry ballads, Sunset Blvd and Cowboy deliver. Selena Gomez’s breathy vocals on Cowboy channel Lana Del Rey vibes, adding a sensual layer to the record.

“Put your hands on me / Ride it like a cowboy,” she croons—a line that’s sure to spark conversations.

SELENA GOMEZ AND MUSIC

The album wasn’t always part of Gomez’s plans. In interviews last year, she referred to music as a “hobby” and hinted at stepping back from it, according to ABC.

This surprise release marks her return after five years since her last solo album, Rare. Blanco has been instrumental in this comeback, having worked with Gomez on earlier hits like I Can’t Get Enough.

Their collaboration feels natural. Benny Blanco’s production expertise complements Gomez’s emotive style perfectly.

Together, they’ve created an album that feels intimate yet universal.

SHARING THEIR HEARTS

For South African listeners, the themes of love and self-discovery are relatable across cultures.

The mix of genres ensures there’s something for everyone—whether you’re into pop-rock or dreamy ballads.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have delivered more than just an album—they’ve shared their hearts.

SELENA GOMEZ AND FEEL GOOD MUSIC

Whether you’re in love or simply love good music, I Said I Love You First is worth your time. As Blanco puts it, “This isn’t just about us; it’s about everyone who believes in love.”

With its mix of vulnerability and boldness, this record proves that love stories don’t just belong in fairy tales—they can live in music too.
