Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco to Release a Joint Album, I Said I Love You First, on March 21.
Selena Gomez, producer and songwriter Benny Blanco and singer and songwriter Gracie Abrams have just released a new song, “Call Me When You Break Up.” The song, which is part of Selena and Benny’s first joint album, I Said I Love You First, which will be released on March 21, arrives accompanied by a new video.
This is the first collaboration between the three artists. “Call Me When You Break Up” marks the reunion of longtime friends Benny Blanco and Gracie Abrams, who had previously worked together on 2021’s “Unlearn.”
Last week, Selena and Benny shared a first preview of their new album with the stunning pop ballad “Scared of Loving You,” written by Selena, Benny and FINNEAS. The song, produced by benny blanco and FINNEAS, signals Selena’s return to music and was widely praised by critics.
“I Said I Love You First” celebrates the duo’s love story, offering fans a unique insight into their relationship.
