Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are going through one of the most exciting moments in their lives. The couple have been teasing their first album together, "I Said I Love You First" and have been openly discussing their relationship. Late last year, the two shared news of their engagement, and addressed wedding planning in a new interview.
Gomez and Blanco discussed their relationship and music with Rolling Stone.
"I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head," said Blanco. "We’re very much 'take it one day at a time'-type of people. We’re still not over this moment. Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring."
Gomez pitched in and said that she's incredibly happy to be focused on the moment that they're at right now, enjoying making music together and being engaged. "I genuinely feel like this is such a special time that we get to apply it to this album and really just pour our heart into it, and completely translate what we feel and bring it to the world. That’s my main focus right now, at least," she said.
More details about Gomez and Blanco's new record
Gomez's career in music has been a heavily discussed topic, especially over the past year when she's found so much success in her acting and producing work. "I was, to be honest, very frustrated and kind of confused on where I wanted to go next musically," she said in the interview, revealing that her partnership with Blanco made this record possible.
"I couldn’t figure out my sound. It helps that he knows a little bit about music, and it kind of happened organically to where I felt like this process was unlike any other process I’d ever been through," she said.
The album was fully collaborative, with Blanco sharing that he'd write down what was on Gomez's mind after she confided in him about what was going on in her life.
"Then we’d go into the other room and create it, and it became a song. It was such a cathartic and therapeutic experience," he said.
