Despite feeling 'too old for the pop star life,' Gomez remains committed to music, particularly due to her relationship with Blanco, who is also a musician.

The announcement of their album comes shortly after Gomez's role in the Oscar-nominated film 'Emilia Pérez,' which faced controversy due to resurfaced social media posts by the film's star.

Gomez has received multiple nominations for prestigious awards, including Golden Globes and an Emmy for her work in 'Only Murders In The Building,' highlighting her successful acting career.

Gomez reflected on her past relationship with Justin Bieber, noting that being single for five years helped her appreciate Blanco more.

Gracie Abrams, who is featured on the album, expressed her emotional connection to the song, stating it has helped calm her nerves before performances.

In a humorous twist, Blanco replaced traditional rose petals with tortilla chips, spelling out 'I love you' leading to a bathtub filled with queso, showcasing their playful relationship.

The couple, who got engaged in December 2024 after dating for over a year, have solidified their bond through music and shared experiences.

Gomez's recent Instagram post about the album garnered over three million likes in less than a day, showcasing high fan enthusiasm.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are set to release their collaborative album titled 'I Said I Love You First,' featuring Gracie Abrams, with a release date announced for March 21, 2025.

Blanco has released two Platinum albums, which have collectively been streamed over 11 billion times, showcasing his success in the music industry.

Blanco expressed his deep affection for Gomez, stating he wakes up thinking of how to enhance her life, emphasizing their emotional connection.

She has indicated a preference for acting over music at this stage of her career, citing the ability to tell others' stories as a key reason.
