Selena Gomez Hints at Past Relationships in New Song “Scared of Loving You”

Selena Gomez is once again pouring her heart into her music, and her latest release, “Scared of Loving You,” gives fans a glimpse into her past relationships and deep emotional fears. The song, produced by her fiancé Benny Blanco, serves as the first single from their upcoming collaborative album, “I Said I Love You First,” which is set to drop on March 21.

Selena Gomez Gets Candid About Love and Loss

Released on February 13, “Scared of Loving You” delivers raw and heartfelt lyrics that reflect Selena’s experiences with love, heartbreak, and vulnerability. The song captures the fear of opening up to someone while carrying past emotional scars.

“I’m not scared of loving you / I’m just scared of losing you,” she sings, expressing her anxieties about love. The lyrics also hint at her romantic history, with lines like: “When I was young, I would love too fast / Hope I don’t repeat my past.”

A Possible Nod to Her Famous Exes?

While Selena doesn’t name-drop anyone, fans speculate that the song could be referencing her high-profile relationships with Justin Bieber, Nick Jonas, and The Weeknd. Given that these past romances were widely covered in the media, listeners are drawing connections between the lyrics and her personal life.

But this time, Selena is in a different place. Unlike her past relationships, the 32-year-old singer seems to have found a sense of stability and security with Benny Blanco. She announced their engagement in December 2024, and their love story is now the inspiration behind this highly anticipated album.

A Love Story Told Through Music

Ahead of the song’s release, Selena and Benny teased their project by sharing a handwritten message on Instagram Stories that read, “I said I love you first.” This turned out to be the title of their upcoming album, which promises to explore their relationship and future together.

Despite the raw vulnerability in “Scared of Loving You,” Selena has expressed that she feels incredibly safe and loved in her current relationship. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she shared: “I guess this is the safest I’ve ever felt in a relationship, and I see a future with this person.”

Benny Blanco: Selena’s Biggest Supporter

Benny Blanco has proven to be Selena’s biggest cheerleader. The music producer has not only played a role in creating her new sound but has also been vocal about his admiration for her. At the 2025 Golden Globes, he proudly accompanied Selena and later posted a TikTok video of her with the caption: “I got to take home the best award of the night.”

A New Era for Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez’s upcoming album marks a new chapter in her music career—one that reflects growth, healing, and emotional depth. As the world eagerly awaits “I Said I Love You First,” “Scared of Loving You” has already set the tone for an introspective and deeply personal project.

With the album dropping in just a few weeks, fans can’t wait to see what Selena and Benny have in store next. Will this album be her most personal one yet? Only time will tell!
