The track is important, but I needed the lyrics to be more important, and that was something I told every producer. I am a pop artist, but that was something I was so aware of.
Why did you go in a slower, more mid-tempo direction? You do have some straightforward dance tracks on this album, like “Kill ‘Em With Kindness,” but most of what I’ve heard has actually shied away from the big, stomping club-bangers happening in pop right now. And I’m an actress-I love being able to translate everything I’m feeling inside through my voice and through the songs. I know that I’m not the world’s greatest singer, but I do know that I have a unique tone. For me, I had to discover what was going to separate me. I wanted to know that every single song meant the world to me, whether I wrote it or not. Selena Gomez: I had to really discover what was going to work for me because there were times in my career where I sang things that just weren’t me and weren’t for me. Tell me about finding your voice on this album-not just figuratively, but literally.
TIME: This album shows off sides of your voice we haven’t really heard before: the raspier side, the lower side, the quieter side. “It’s more like, I had so much scrutiny and had so much of my life exposed. “It’s not necessarily me being like, ‘Hey, I figured life out and I’m amazing!’” Gomez says of the record’s title.
