Selena Gomez made a rare comment regarding her breakup with Justin Bieber during a recent podcast interview with The Hollywood Reporter. She also talked about the process of writing "Lose You to Love Me" - the song wherein everyone knows she's saying goodbye to Justin Bieber, for good this time.
Writing Her Goodbye Justin Bieber Song
Selena has not publicly dated anyone since Justin Bieber - at least not offiically. Nonetheless, she finally moved on from the relationship with her 2019 single "Lose You to Love Me," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
"It's wild because we wrote that song in less than an hour," she admitted. "I knew that it was going to leave some sort of impression because it was kind of saying my goodbye and I was really happy about it. But I was also nervous." She also said that "Lose You To Love Me" remains her favorite song to date - among her own songs, that is.
Selena is currently occupied with her work. Later this month, the second season of her show "Only Murders in the Building" will premiere, and she has been filming her cookery show "Selena & Chef."

Now, she's off to the studio to compose new music. She could choose between acting and music," she disclosed. She said her therapist already asked her when she'll ever settle down with a man and she always answered she does not know and yet, is not worried about it.
How Justin Bieber Breakup Built Selena Gomez
The separation occurred in 2018, during a period in which Selena says she engaged in extensive "soul searching" and self-discovery.
She explained, "I was, you know, obviously going through a really tough breakup and then I was left with the question of my career and where am I gonna go and what's gonna happen?" she explained. "It just was all of these different things I was feeling. And then my medical stuff kind of kicked in - I was dealing with my lupus and some kidney problems. It was actually really hard."
Selena recognizes that she is a more resilient individual as a result of enduring that difficult period. She said going through that heartbreak on top of everything that was happening to her at the time, had been quite "beneficial" to her. The whole experience allowed her to establish a "persona" wherein she no longer allows for "nonsense" or "disrespect," which no one can say is a bad thing.
Selena and Justin dated intermittently between 2010 and 2018. Just a few weeks after their final breakup at the start of March 2018, Justin reconciled with another of his exes, Hailey Baldwin, whom he proposed to in July of that year. By September, they were married, and they remain together to this day.
