Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have just released their highly anticipated joint album, I Said I Love You First!
The project marks a major milestone for the engaged couple, arriving just months after their engagement. Packed with deeply personal songs, the album traces their love story—from before they met, to falling in love, and even glimpses into their future.
Alongside the album’s release, Selena and Benny also dropped the official music video for their latest single, “Younger and Hotter Than Me.”
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Selena and Benny opened up about the inspiration behind the album’s title, revealing that it reflects a very real moment in their relationship.
“It’s just factual. It just is actually what went down, and it describes us. This whole project embodies his stories combined with my stories. They have meanings that are really just personal to both of us. So one song could actually mean two different things. And I think it was just really cute. I think it was probably your idea. But, yeah, guilty as charged. I said ‘I love you’ first,” Selena shared.
Benny chimed in with his signature humor, saying, “She did. I’m just happy to be along for the ride, I’ll tell you that much. I’m happy. Put me in, Coach. I’m doing whatever it takes.”
Fans can stream I Said I Love You First on all major platforms, including Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Tidal, and iTunes. For collectors, the vinyl edition is available at Walmart, Urban Outfitters, and Barnes & Noble.
With its heartfelt lyrics and real-life love story at its core, this album is sure to be a must-listen for both Selena and Benny’s fans!
