"I love it. It just feels so wonderful to have a partner that actually genuinely listens and just meets you right where you are, whatever that mood or day looks like, and that's all I could ask for. I just need him, and I love him, so it's pretty great."
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first crossed paths when they were teenagers. They went on to collaborate on music together before their friendship took a romantic turn in 2023.

She recalled how the album came to happen and said:
"He happens to be extremely more advanced in that world than I am, and I really appreciate his advice and his guidance, but he never took control of anything. If anything, I wanted him to, and he just said, 'No, I want your decisions to be your decisions,' and it was very easy. I don't think I would make every album with him, but I loved it, and we have a memory now. We've done something together."
