Selena Gomez’s new song has been on repeat in my house all morning. Lose You To Love Me is Selena Gomez’s new single and most people are speculating that it’s about Justin Beiber.
And to be honest, I don’t give a fuck who it is about, because I relate to this song.
I feel this song in my heart.
Can we talk about how I need to figure out all of the things that my iPhone can do – because that entire video was shot on an iPhone? My videos turn out blurry and well – not anywhere as good as this.
The lyrics are definitely seeming a little bit about her relationship with Justin – but like, it could be anyone. Writing is such great therapy and if she needed to get this shit out then GOOD 👏 FOR 👏 HER 👏.
[Verse 1]
You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it
Set fires to my forest
And you let it burn
Sang off-key in my chorus
‘Cause it wasn’t yours
I saw the signs and I ignored it
Rose-colored glasses all distorted
Set fire to my purpose
And I let it burn
You got off on the hurtin’
When it wasn’t yours, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
We’d always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dance, it was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
[Chorus]
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me
[Verse 2]
I gave my all and they all know it
Then you turned me down and now it’s showing
In two months, you replaced us
Like it was easy
Made me think I deserved it
In the thick of healing, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
We’d always go into it blindly
I needed to lose you to find me
This dance, it was killing me softly
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
[Chorus]
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me
[Brigde]
You promised the world and I fell for it
I put you first and you adored it
Set fires to my forest
And you let it burn
Sang off-key in my chorus
[Chorus]
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to hate you to love me, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
I needed to lose you to love me
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
[Outro]
And now the chapter is closed and done
To love, love, yeah
To love, love, yeah
To love, yeah
And now it’s goodbye, it’s goodbye for us
Who are we to judge?
“This song was inspired by many things that have happened in my life since releasing my last album,” Selena said about the song. “I thought it was important to share the music, as I know many can relate to the fact that the road to self-discovery generally comes through the scars in one’s life. I want people to feel hope and to know you will come out the other side stronger and a better version of yourself.”
