Selena Gomez hadn’t released an album in four years when she made her triumphant return in October 2019. While Selenators were ecstatic, not everyone was as pleased with the star’s comeback single, “Lose You To Love Me.” The gutting breakup track supposedly detailed her on-and-off relationship with former flame Justin Bieber, which lasted the better part of a decade. According to The Cut, the pair called it quits for good in 2018, and Bieber proposed to Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) just four months later.
Gomez’s track wasn’t particularly scathing, but it did seemingly call out his new relationship with the lines, “In two months, you replaced us / Like it was easy / Made me think I deserved it / In the thick of healing” — and Hailey was mad. Or, at least, fans believed she implied she was mad through a seemingly passive-aggressive Instagram post. According to The Cut, Hailey posted Summer Walker’s single, “I’ll Kill You,” to her Instagram Story mere “moments” after Gomez premiered her song. For those who haven’t heard it, “I’ll Kill You” is a rather aggressive track about women who may potentially come between two lovers.
Enough people picked up on the supposed shade that Hailey closed her comments section. Gomez later took the high road and urged her fans to “please be kind to everyone” in an Instagram Live (via E! News). Can we just leave Gomez alone now? Let the poor girl get over her breakup.
