Selena Gomez is hitting back at rumors that her new song Single Soon is about her relationship with The Weeknd.
Gomez, 31, dropped the single last week, with the accompanying music video featuring the singer in a stunning pink minidress.
Shortly after the song’s debut, rumors surfaced that the song was really about The Weeknd, who she dated and even moved in with briefly over a nine-month relationship in 2017.
The song also comes just months after DailyMail.com exclusively reported Gomez thought The Weeknd’s show The Idol was ‘creepy’ since the main character Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) had so many similarities to her own real-life journey.
As for the rumors about her new song’s meaning, she commented on an Instagram post from the website Hollywood Life, revealing that is not true.
