Pop’s sweetheart Selena Gomez and production maestro benny blanco are putting a voice to love one that is raw, tender and beautifully fragile. Their new single, “Scared of Loving You,” “is a soul-baring ballad that gives the first taste of their upcoming collaborative album, ” Said I Love You First,” due March 21.
Crafted by Gomez, blanco, and the perpetually genius FINNEAS, this song is less of a tune than a confession. Gomez’s voice floats along the melody with a tender, aching fragility, the delivery of someone who understands the dangers of cracking open her heart and is doing it anyway. blanco and FINNEAS’ production reflects that vulnerability, leaving the soundscape sparse but baked-in, with space for every lyric to breathe.
This release is the long-awaited return, one that’s exceptionally personal and drenched in deep emotion. As the lead single off an album that chronicles the couple’s love story from a deeply personal perspective, “Scared of Loving You” “offers fans a seat on the front row of their journey before the romance, as it blossomed and into a vast unknown future.
