Selena Gomez has clarified that she believes in taking things slow and wants her fans to do the same.

After releasing "Revelación" in 2021, the former Disney star fired up the SG3 era with her sizzling end-of-summer single - and it didn't take long for some fans to make a connection to her 2017 romance with The Weeknd.

The lyrics to "Single Soon" go something like, "Should I do it on the phone? / Should I leave a little note in the pocket of his coat? (Yeah) / Maybe I'll just disappear / I don't wanna see a tear / And the weekend's almost here."

The "Come and Get It" diva then stirred conversation with that specific lines in her latest song, which included a reference to "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd. This was particularly intriguing for fans, especially since she mentioned him in the breath that followed.

The "Single Soon" music video starts with Selena Gomez writing a Post-It note that reads, "I'm sorry I can't don't hate me."

However, Selena Gomez shut down the rumors and the suggestion that her new single was about her ex-boyfriend.

 She commented unequivocally on an Instagram post on August 28 that this assumption "couldn't be more false."

"The Only Murders in the Building" star recently released her new song and expressed why she loved it.

Accompanying an Instagram post of herself, which was shared on August 26, she wrote: "Thank you guys for all the love on Single Soon!!! It's a delightful anthem about being satisfied in your skin and being content with your own company... plus it makes for great dancing!"
