Selena Gomez goes on to sing about how they had a ‘shiny’ relationship until it was not anymore. She might be confirming that Justin Bieber cheated on her when she says “It was her first real lover/His too ’til he had another.”

In the pre-chorus of the song, Selena admits that she was sad–sad would be an understatement. She took a couple of years to collect herself and pour out her emotions in two singles.

Releasing “Lose You to Love Me” single, Selena confessed and thanked her fans for sticking with her despite her personal life crashing around her; “This song was inspired by many things that have happened in my life since releasing my last album. I want people to feel hope and to know you will come out the other side stronger and a better version of yourself.”
