Love is in the air, and it’s got a catchy soundtrack! Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, the newly engaged couple, have officially dropped their joint album, I Said I Love You First, and it’s everything fans could hope for and more.
Released on March 21, this album is a delightful blend of romance and musical magic that showcases their undeniable chemistry.
The project features a mix of previously released singles that have already captured hearts, including “Scared of Loving You,” “Sunset Blvd,” “Younger and Hotter Than Me,” and the collaboration with Gracie Abrams, “Call Me When You Break Up.”
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! The full tracklist also includes gems like “Ojos Tristes,” “Don’t Wanna Cry,” “Cowboy,” “Bluest Flame,” “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,” “Do You Wanna Be Perfect,” “You Said You Were Sorry,” “I Can’t Get Enough,” and “Don’t Take It Personally.” With such a diverse lineup, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
In the lead-up to the album’s release, Selena Gomez opened up about the experience of working with her fiancé during an interview. “It just felt like it was a little taste of what we are and how we made this together, and how much we loved it and how much we love each other. And it just felt like it was meant to be,” she shared.
Benny Blanco didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration for Gomez. He reflected on her journey, saying, “She’s had such a journey in life, both personally, medically, so many other things. She makes you just believe it. She’s like, ‘I’m not scared of dying young or anyone,’ but she’s scared of the fact of losing someone that she’s finally created a bond with where she feels comfortable enough. And somehow by God’s grace, I happen to be that person. I have no idea why, but I am.”
The couple began dating in June 2023, and their love story took a beautiful turn when they got engaged late last year. Gomez shared the joyous news with her fans on December 11, posting a carousel of photos on Instagram featuring her stunning marquise-cut engagement ring, captioned, “forever begins now.”
