On top of all of the excitement about the cute photos, fans couldn’t help but speculate that there was indeed new music coming. This year, the Disney alum joined J Balvin, Benny Blanco and Tainy for the crossover hit I Can’t Get Enough . Selena also teamed up with Julia Michaels for Anxiety.

The actress took time away from music to focus on other projects including the Netflix series Living Undocumented and the film The Dead Don’t Die. In June, Selena told Jimmy Fallon that she was done with her fourth studio album and happy with the “soulful sound .”
“I’m just relieved," she told Jimmy Fallon. "It took me four years now to even feel at a good place with this album. And it’s because I had such huge moments that happened in my life personally — that how was I going to capture that and how was I going to actually feel good about what I was saying. I just kept going, and I am relieved.”
