Nothing screams pop star quite like a voluntary leak in honor of the fans and that’s exactly what songstressSelena Gomezhas just indulged her legion of supporters in.

This includes her recently released single “Call Me When You Break Up,” featuring “That’s So True” hitmakerGracie Abramsand Gomez and Blanco’s “Scared of Loving You.” Notable title tracks on the record include “Don’t Take It Personally,” “Scared of Loving You,” and “Don’t Wanna Cry,” all of which point to the vulnerability that comes with falling in love in a new relationship.This hints at yet another unapologetically honest and vulnerable entry in Gomez’s catalog, a quality she has become renowned for.
If one other thing is certain, the project is almost certainly set to frame itself as an open love letter composed by the two lovers themselves, Gomez and Blanco. Whilst the pair have made a series of public appearances together, little is actually known about their romance, but this record is set to peel back the curtain on their romance from the begining to the present. A press release previously revealed thatthe album “chronicles their entire story — before they met, falling in love and looking to what the future holds,“promising a “unique window into their relationship.”
