Selena Gomez has dismissed rumours suggesting that her latest comeback track, 'Single Soon,' is directed at The Weeknd. The song features lyrics where Gomez discusses exchanging a relationship for her personal independence. “I’m pickin’ out this dress / Tryin’ on these shoes / ‘Cause I’ll be single soon / I’ll be single soon,” she sings, adding: “I know he’ll be a mess / When I break the news / But I’ll be single soon.” Following the song's debut, numerous individuals have expressed their conviction that the song was penned about Abel Tesfaye. However, Gomez promptly refuted these speculations. The two were romantically involved for a brief period in 2017. Replying to a post on Instagram, she simply wrote: “Couldn’t be more false.” Last week, Gomez made an announcement regarding her intention to drop a fresh single as a means to keep her fans engaged while she focuses on finalizing her third album. Using Instagram as her platform, she posted an image of the song's artwork along with a caption that stated: “Y’all have been asking for new music for a while. Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.”

The song, dedicated to her devoted fans, marks her latest release since her eighth album 'Endless Summer Vacation', which came out in March.  Discussing the new track in a statement, Cyrus said: “These lyrics were written almost 2 years ago at the beginning of my ESV. It was at a time I felt misunderstood. I have spent the last 18 months painting a sonic picture of my perspective to share with you. “The time has arrived to release a song that I could perfect forever. Although my work is done, this song will continue to write itself everyday. The fact it remains unfinished is a part of its beauty. That is my life at this moment ….. unfinished yet complete.” She added: “This song is about honouring who we’ve been, loving who we are and celebrating who we will become. I feel proud when reflecting on my past and optimistic when thinking about the future. I am grateful to my loyal fans who make my dreams a reality daily. I am sincerely thankful for the stability of your steadfast support. This song is for you.”

Selena Gomez makes a solo music comeback with the release of 'Single Soon', a dynamic and playful track that exudes empowerment. Crafted in collaboration with producers Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat, 'Single Soon' emerges as a vibrant anthem for the dance floor, as Gomez trades a relationship for her personal liberation. Lyrics “I’m pickin’ out this dress / Tryin’ on these shoes / ‘Cause I’ll be single soon / I’ll be single soon / I know he’ll be a mess / When I break the news / But I’ll be single soon” make a point to highlight that the singer will not spend another moment hung up on an ex. Directed by Philip Andelman, the music video commences with Gomez penning a message that states ‘I’m sorry, I can’t, don’t hate me’ which she places on her former partner's desk. This moment pays homage to a scene from the popular HBO series, ‘Sex and the City’, reminiscent of when the protagonist, Carrie Bradshaw, endures a breakup through a post-it note. Following this, Gomez dons a sparkling gown, reunites with her companions, and raises a glass in celebration of her newfound independence, all while dancing exuberantly throughout the night.

Renowned as a highly successful music mogul, Braun boasts an impressive client roster featuring global stars such as Justin Bieber, David Guetta, Black Eyed Peas, Ava Max and Carly Rae Jepsen, as stated on his official website.
