Selena Gomez Clears Up If ‘Single Soon’ is About The Weeknd

Author Laila Abuelhawa
Selena Gomez celebrates the launch of Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil Collection on March 29, 2023 in New York City. Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye attends "The Idol" photocall at the 76th annual Cannes film festival at Palais des Festivals on May 23, 2023 in Cannes, France.

Selena Gomez’s newest song, “Single Soon” has people thinking it’s about her ex, The Weeknd. When Gomez sings “I don’t wanna see a tear, and the weekend’s almost here,” she’s not referring to the 33-year-old Canadian crooner. Another line that had fans thinking the song was about The Weekend was “I don’t wanna see a tear,” which seemed to be a nod to his 2020 smash hit, “Save Your Tears.” The song was also rumored to be about Selena.

Though Gomez and The Weekend, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, dated for ten months in 2017, the couple have been broken up for almost six years now. Gomez’s new single is about the Only Murders In The Building star happily breaking up with a boyfriend and partying on her own. After Selena and Abel broke up, she got back together with on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber for the last time before he married Hailey Baldwin. Gomez has been tied to The Chainsmokers’s Drew Taggart and Zayn Malik, but she posted on social media on several occasions that she is indeed single.

Debunking The Rumors Herself

Following the release of her single, HollywoodLife posted an image of Selena and Abel with the caption: “In case you missed it, #SelenaGomez released her newest song, ‘Single Soon’ earlier this week! Her fans believe that it is about her romance with #TheWeeknd. What do you think?” Gomez replied on the post: “Couldn’t be more false.”

Regardless of who the song’s about, “Single Soon” marks Gomez’s return to music, which she released Friday, August 25 with a music video. Prior to the release, she wrote of the track on Instagram: “Y’all have been asking for new music for a while. Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.”

Selena Gomez’s Most Stunning Photos of 2023

  • Blondie

    In the third slide, Gomez evokes her inner Barbie, donning a complete blonde transformation. While sitting at a table, the “Calm Down” singer wears a bright red lip and a sheer, mint-colored dress. To prove she actually went blonde, Gomez posted a fourth picture to her post, which clearly shows her natural color growing out of the blonde. Selena shows she looks good in anything no matter what hair color she’s rocking!

  • Versace Dua Moment

    Looking gorgeous in polka dots and butterflies, Selena matches her retro-inspired Versace x Dua Lipa collab look to a massive trunk. Her hair is pulled back in a half updo, smiling poolside with palm trees around her.

  • Crazy About Paris

    Seemingly in an elevator with an infinity mirror effect, Gomez wears a white Christian Dior sweater shirt with a white pleated skirt. She looks stunning with her hair pulled back, showing off her beautiful face and big gold hoops.

  • Red Lip Beauty

    In this breezy-faced selfie, Gomez keeps her makeup minimal with a bold red lip and mascara. On her ear, we see tons of minimal ear candy, making her look really cool in just a white tank top.

  • Here Comes The Bride

    With a big smile, Gomez seems to be having fun sharing her “regular day at work” in a bridal gown while sitting on the floor. Though she’s got white gloves to match, she went for the unconventional route with chunky white combat boots.

  • Natural Beauty

    While quoting Miley Cyrus’ song, “Violet Chemistry” in the caption, Gomez shares an up-close bare-faced selfie and naturally tousled hair with her fans. With no makeup besides what looks to be lash extensions, Gomez’s imperfect skin still looks fantastic and she’s so real for showing this to hundreds of millions of people.

  • Sangria Sipper

    While announcing her taking a break from social media in February, Gomez shared this seductive photo of her sipping on a glass of sangria while wearing a black strapless top. She wrote in her caption: “I deleted this one time because I thought maybe it was too much but eh.” Just like the comments section, we believe there is no such thing as too much when you’re as gorgeous as she is.

  • Starting Off The Year Right

    Sharing flicks of kicking off 2023 with friends, Gomez looks so happy and thriving on the beach and on a yacht. In the last slide, though, she absolutely slays as she is climbing up the ladder out of a picturesque sea.
