“I was, to be honest, very frustrated and kind of confused on where I wanted to go next musically,” the Calm Down singer began by saying.

“And we had been together for a while, and obviously I would confide in him,” the songstress continued. “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, " Gomez added.

Moreover, Blanco opened up about how he helped his ladylove to overcome her frustration with a music as well.

“She’d wake up, I’d have a pen out, and I’d write what was on her mind. Then we’d go into the other room and create it, and it became a song,” the record producer told the publication.

Before concluding, Blanco expressed his feelings for the song, “We also kept this one really close to the chest, because I feel like it was so important for it to be written exactly how we wanted it and to feel exactly how we wanted it to feel.”

I Said I Love You First, features a total of 14 songs, is set to be released on March 21, 2025.
