On Friday, Gomez dropped her highly anticipated albumRare,which markeda new eraof music for the singer. “I feel like I’ve kind of found my way a bit more. Every year I’m constantly growing, and this time I actually recognize it and appreciate it,” Gomez told PEOPLE.
Her first single off the album, the emotional ballad“Lose You to Love Me,” broke recordsupon its release. “I just want everything to be great, and I think that song represents where I’m at, which is I needed to find a better place for me,” she said.
When the song was first released, several fans recognized its reference to her relationship with Bieber.
At the time, Baldwin, who married Bieber in 2018, received hate after posting a screenshot of Summer Walker’s song “I’ll Kill You” to her Instagram Story when Gomez’s song premiered. Some of Gomez’s supporters assumed the post was in response to the star’s ballad.
Gomez stood up for Baldwin at the time, askingher fans to “be kind.”
“Please, for me, know that that’s not my heart,” Gomez added. “My heart is only to release things that I feel — that are me, and that I’m proud of.”
Baldwin had alsoresponded herself,reportedly commentingon the accusations that her post was a dig at Gomez with a since-deleted comment onJust Jared‘s Instagram page. “Please stop with this nonsense… there is no ‘response,’”Baldwin wrote, adding, “This is complete BS.”
