Selena Gomez seems to be reflecting on her past relationship with Justin Bieber in her new album, I Said I Love You First, which was released on March 21.

Fans are particularly excited about the song “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,” where the 32-year-old pop star sings lyrics that many believe are aimed at Bieber. The lyrics include:

“You’re so embarrassing / Go cry when no one’s watchin’ / I can’t imagine it / How does it feel to be forgotten?”

This has sparked speculation, especially since Bieber, now 31, has shared emotional moments on social media in the past, leading fans to think he might be the subject of the song.

Gomez and Bieber had a well-known relationship that started in 2010 and ended in early 2018 after several breakups. Later that year, Bieber married model Hailey Baldwin, now known as Hailey Bieber. Their complicated history has been a hot topic among fans, and Gomez’s new lyrics seem to revisit that chapter.

Another track, “Don’t Wanna Cry,” has also caught attention for its poignant lyrics:

“Left the door wide open for the whole wide world to see you / Then you kiss her right in front of me like I’m not even there.”

These lines suggest public heartbreak, which some listeners interpret as referring to Bieber’s relationship with Hailey.

Additionally, the song “Younger and Hotter Than Me” includes lyrics that hint at youthful innocence:

“Begging for more / X on my hand drawn in Sharpie / Now I use my own ID.”

Some speculate that the “X” symbolizes underage clubbing, possibly referencing the early days of her relationship with Bieber when she was 18 and he was 16.

Despite the theories, there has been no official confirmation that these songs are about Bieber. Gomez’s representatives have not commented on the matter.

In a Spotify interview, Gomez mentioned that the album isn’t solely about her life, stating that some songs reflect both her and her fiancé Benny Blanco’s past experiences. Blanco, who produced the album, has been dating Gomez for over a year, and they announced their engagement in December 2024.

While some fans see the album as a glimpse into Gomez’s past with Bieber, others view it as a sign of personal growth and moving forward. Gomez has emphasized that her music is open to interpretation, saying, “It’s up for whatever people want, but to me, it was about both of our pasts and our history and also just inspired by friends and relationships.”

With I Said I Love You First, Gomez continues to explore the blend of music and personal history, leaving fans to interpret the true meanings behind her lyrics.

In 20240, the American singer Cardi B responded to a question from TMZ about Nigerian singer Ayra Starr and her outfit at the Met Gala.

Cardi B responds as TMZ poses a controversial question to Ayra Starr about her Met Gala attire.

On social media, a video was shared featuring Ayra Starr, an artist signed to Mavin Records, being approached by a reporter while on the street. The reporter inquired about Cardi B’s outfit at the Met Gala.

During the video, the TMZ team revealed that it took months to craft Cardi B’s elaborate costume for the occasion. Interestingly, Cardi B was unable to remember the names of the designers when questioned.

Subsequently, the reporter asked Ayra Starr for her opinion on whether she found it disrespectful towards the designer of the rapper’s attire.

The reporter stated:

“The dress that she wore to the Met Gala took months to make and she didn’t remember the name of the designers who made the dress. She said she was supposed to stand and pose on the podium and there was a lot going on but you’ve been on a lot of red carpets, is it disrespectful to not know the designer’s name?”

Ayra Starr responded by saying she believed the rapper was simply nervous when asked about Cardi B forgetting the names of her designers at the Met Gala.

She said; “It’s nerves sometimes, I don’t know, to be honest, I don’t know.”

The reporter further asked; “You’ve been on tons of red carpets, it’s kind of why you’re there. So if I came to you and said I forgot the name of your new album, you’d be like ‘What the hell, do you research girl’. Is there a way that you remember things that you need to know that maybe you can give advice to Cardi B on?”

Ayra Starr replied once again;

“I don’t know. I love Cardi B always, every time.”

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa try to be messy and mission failed ..also why put a superstar like Ayra in such a weird and uncomfortable position?
