00:00 Selena Gomez reacts to an AI version of herself
00:03 singing ex-boyfriend The Weeknd's song, "Starboy."
00:06 Selgo is stunned by the track,
00:08 which is posted on a fan account.
00:10 Along with an image of Selena replacing Abel
00:13 in the cover art, the track plays a pre-chorus
00:15 from the hit song with Gomez's AI-generated voice
00:18 singing instead of her ex.
00:21 For those not in the know,
00:22 here's the original with The Weeknd's unmistakable vocals
00:25 flowing over the music.

00:32 Now here's Selena's iconic softer tones
00:34 giving their AI take on the track.
00:37 ♪ How's the one who needed a piece ♪
00:39 ♪ 20 racks a tablecloth from Ebony ♪
00:42 While we think it's a definite bop with Selgo on it,
00:44 she seems to be more shocked than pleasantly shook.
00:47 She says in the comments of the artificial remix, "Scary."
00:51 Whether that's an "OMG, AI is wild scary,"
00:54 or if it's the whole "her voice on her ex's song" thing,
00:57 Selena doesn't specify.
00:59 But the track definitely has a connection between the two.
01:02 The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye,
01:04 dropped "Starboy" back in November 2016,
01:07 just two months before he and Selena confirmed their romance
01:10 with a PDA-packed date night in Los Angeles.
01:13 The couple was spotted dining at the upscale restaurant
01:15 Giorgio Baldi in January 2017,
01:18 with a source telling E! News at the time,
01:20 "They were there for three hours, just the two of them.
01:22 "They came out and were so happy."
01:24 In May, they made their official couples debut
01:26 at the Met Gala, but they felt a breakup coming,
01:29 calling it quits in October 2017 after a 10-month romance.
01:33 Another insider told E! News after the split,
01:36 "It's been hard for them to come to the realization
01:38 "that this is the direction things were heading,
01:40 "but it's been hard for months.
01:42 "They have been open and honest about it
01:43 "and where they were going.
01:45 "Distance definitely played a factor."
01:47 These days, Selena is open about her single status.
01:50 She recently posted a video of her shooting her shot
01:52 with some soccer players on TikTok,
01:54 giving them a heads up about what they would be
01:56 getting into.
01:57 - I'm single!
01:59 I'm just a little high maintenance.
02:04 But I love you so much.
02:08 - She's also prepping new music of her own
02:12 that's not AI generated.
02:14 Selena recently posted on Instagram
02:16 alongside a carousel of photos,
02:18 "Y'all have been asking for new music for a while.
02:21 "Since I'm not quite done with SG3,
02:23 "I wanted to put out a fun little song
02:25 "I wrote a while back that's perfect for the end of summer."
02:28 She writes that the track is called "Single Soon."
02:30 Selga wants you to know she's in her single era,
02:33 and hey, look at her now.
02:35 - Selena, right here on your left side.
02:41 - Right over your left shoulder!
02:44 - Selena, one more time on your left side, Selena.
