Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Release Album "I Said I Love You First"

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s first joint album "I Said I Love You First" has finally arrived on Friday.

The recently engaged couple debuted the 14-song project along with a music video for the ballad, “Younger and Hotter Than Me.”

The LP features previously released singles “Scared of Loving You,” “Sunset Blvd,” “Younger and Hotter Than Me” and “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams.

The rest of the tracklist includes “Ojos Tristes,” “Don’t Wanna Cry,” “Cowboy,” “Bluest Flame,” “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,” “Do You Wanna Be Perfect,” “You Said You Were Sorry”, “I Can’t Get Enough,” and “Don’t Take It Personally.”

Leading up to the project, Spotify released footage of a one-on-one conversation between the couple as a teaser.

The 33-minute video revealed the couple’s writing process — “We’d get up in the morning and have a conversation. But our conversation was never led going, ‘What are we going to write in the album?’” Gomez said.

Blanco also said he felt like his fiancée's “personal journal” throughout the making of the album.

“I was constantly just writing whatever you said wherever we were,” Blanco said. “Sometimes, you’d be saying something really important, and I didn’t know if you even realized, but I would always open my phone and be like, ‘Fuck, that’s such a good line for a song.'”

In the interview, the pair also confirmed Finneas and Charli xcx worked on the album.

The LP also includes a collaboration with Gracie Abrams, and “I Can’t Get Enough,” which features J Balvin and Tainy was released in 2019.

“More so than anything else, this isn’t an album where I had any expectation because it’s something we got to do together for us,” Blanco added. “As a byproduct of who we both are, other people get to listen to this album… All in all, the best part about it was being able to spend time and make something that I love with the person I love.”

The couple began dating in June 2023 and got engaged late last year. Gomez shared the happy news with a December 11 Instagram carousel featuring her marquise-cut engagement ring, along with the caption, “forever begins now..”
