00:00 I was in a long dress, it was a summer dress,
00:03 and I was walking from my car to my house and tripped.
00:08 This is not fun.
00:09 (laughing)
00:11 This is not fun.
00:12 Selena Gomez explains how she ended up
00:15 with a broken hand, which required surgery.
00:18 I'm very honest though, in general.
00:19 The singer breaks it down on the Ellen King morning show,
00:22 as she promotes her new track, "Single Soon."
00:24 ♪ I'll be single soon ♪
00:28 Well, who's next?
00:30 Warning fans, they might be underwhelmed
00:32 with the backstory.
00:34 So I wish I had a really cool story
00:36 that saves someone's life or something.
00:38 Selena first revealed her injury on the 'Gram,
00:41 replying to a fan account about her new music.
00:43 ♪ I know it'll be a mess ♪
00:46 ♪ When I break the news ♪
00:48 Broke my hand and had surgery.
00:50 I don't care about selling anything.
00:51 I'm just happy to make music with my friends.
00:54 I'm very lucky that I have the platform I have.
00:57 Sel shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram story
00:59 on Thursday, hand, brace, and all.
01:02 She says she's ready to laugh over the incident
01:04 that she admits could have been pretty serious.
01:07 I was in a long dress, it was a summer dress,
01:10 and I was walking from my car to my house and tripped.
01:15 As a mother, I just wanna say, if you were my daughter,
01:21 I would say, "Thank God you didn't break your teeth."
01:24 Yes, that's what the doctor said.
01:26 Oh, good, okay.
01:27 I guess there is a silver lining, but this is not fun.
01:32 (laughing)
01:34 I'm at that age where I feel like that's what matters,
01:37 is making sure I'm healthy
01:38 and people are happy that I love.
01:41 Of course, we've seen 31-year-old walk it off once before.
01:44 Who's excited?
01:45 I'm excited.
01:47 Yeah, remember when she tripped on the red carpet
01:49 at the 2022 SAG Awards?
01:53 But Selena didn't let her fashion roadkill moment
01:56 spoil the night, losing her high heels
01:58 and going barefoot on stage to present an award.
02:01 Although it's hard for me to express my excitement
02:04 because the Botox is fresh.
02:06 (laughing)
02:08 All right, mine too, and the actor goes too.
02:15 It's amazing, just wait.
02:17 And fans have waited plenty in the lead-up
02:19 to Selena's Girls' Night Out jam.
02:22 ♪ I'ma take who I wanna ♪
02:24 ♪ Stay alive if I wanna ♪
02:26 ♪ I'ma do what I wanna do ♪
02:29 It's been years since I've released music,
02:32 so so many beautiful things have happened,
02:34 and I can't wait to tell that through music.
02:36 Selena made a point on Insta to thank her patient fan base
02:40 for loving "Single Soon."
02:41 ♪ I'm picking out this dress ♪
02:43 ♪ Trying on these shoes ♪
02:45 ♪ 'Cause I'll be single soon ♪
02:48 ♪ I'll be single soon ♪
02:51 It's a playful anthem about being comfortable
02:53 in your own skin and loving your own company.
02:55 And it's also really fun to dance to.
02:58 That said, when hitting the dance floor to Selena's new tune,
03:00 make sure to watch your step.
