“It was originally a totally different song,” the star explained. Only Murders in the Building. “It had a rougher sound, but as I worked with the composer Camille, it almost became a ballad. It became the story of a woman and the phases of her life that she goes through. It was really beautiful.”

A liberating experience
“I spent hours and hours in the studio. It was fun, but I also had to try not to sing like I usually do,” Selena Gomez continued. “I had to think, ‘Okay, what are the limits of what I can do with my character?’ It was really therapeutic and I think it’s beautifully done.”
