00:18 - Selena Gomez dropped a breakup anthem about an ex,
00:22 but it's not the one you think.
00:24 - Oh my goodness.
00:25 - After the singer released her track "Single Soon,"
00:28 fans were quick to speculate that the song
00:31 was about her famous ex, The Weeknd.

00:36 ♪ And the weekend's almost here ♪
00:38 - But Selena says not so fast.
00:41 Sel responded to an Insta post asking fans
00:44 if they think the song is about the "Starboy" singer,
00:47 writing, "Could it be more false?"
00:50 - I think it's kind of telling.
00:51 I'm very honest though in general.
00:53 - Selena and The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye,
00:56 started dating in 2017 and split 10 months later.
01:01 And even though they've been broken up
01:03 for almost six years, some listeners were convinced
01:07 some of the lyrics of Selena's new song
01:09 were a nod to the idol star, like this.

01:17 - Yeah, The Weeknd seems to be a reference
01:20 to his stage name, and "I don't wanna see a tear"
01:23 seems to echo his 2020 smash "Save Your Tears,"
01:26 which was rumored to be about Selena.

01:33 - Since their split, the "Only Murders in the Building" star
01:41 has been linked back to her ex, Justin Bieber,
01:44 before he married his wife, Hailey Bieber,
01:46 Niall Horan, Drew Taggart, and most recently, Zayn Malik.
01:51 As for that new single,

02:05 - It's been years since I've released music,
02:07 so so many beautiful things have happened,
02:10 and I can't wait to tell that through music.
02:12 - Selena thanked fans for all the love,
02:14 writing on Instagram, "It's a playful anthem
02:17 "about being comfortable in your own skin
02:20 "and loving your own company,

02:25 And all that echoes what Selena's bestie, Taylor Swift,
02:28 posted shortly after the song dropped.
02:31 - Yeah, she's amazing.
02:32 She's been in my life for so long.
02:35 We're kinda like sisters at this point.
02:37 - When your bestie is the bestest.
02:39 We'll be dancing to this forever, me thinks.
