Selena Gomez Reacts to Speculation Her Song Is About Ex The Weeknd

Selena Gomez wants everyone to slow down.

In case you missed it, the 31-year-old dropped her post-breakup anthem, “Single Soon,” in which she ponders over having to end a relationship, asking, “Should I do it on the phone? / Should I leave a little note in the pocket of his coat? (Yeah) / Maybe I’ll just disappear / I don’t wanna see a tear / And the weekend’s almost here.”

Now, the Grammy nominee is responding to the suggestion that her single was all about her romance with her ex The Weekend, commenting underneath an Aug. 28 Instagram post that the assumption simply “couldn’t be more false.”

As a refresher, the “Starboy” singer and Rare Beauty founder confirmed their romance with a PDA-packed date night in Los Angeles in early 2017, but the two would split later that year, with an insider telling E! News at the time that “distance definitely played a factor.”

“It was more of a mutual break up,” the source previously told E! News. “They were distant because of work. It didn’t end in a bad way.”
