Selena Gomez and producer/fiancé Benny Blanco released their collaboration song “Scared of Loving You,” on Feb. 14. This song is one of many on their upcoming joint album “I Said I Love You First” which will be released on March. 21.
Due to the fact that this is Gomez’s first song since 2020, one could tell how precious the future album will be with just this song alone. “Scared of Loving You” was very heartfelt being that Gomez and Blanco are an engaged couple.
This song is somewhat different from other songs Gomez has made in the past. Gomez’s vocals are complemented by an acoustic guitar-which suggests that she can be leaning a little out of her usual pop sound.
“Scared of Loving You” highlights the main fear of loving a person and the deep emotions that follow it.
The way Gomez sings the song, makes it feel as though she is having a one on one conversation with Blanco. One would suggest that the song is her own personal diary of which, once read aloud, can be nerve wracking but fulfilling.
The line in the song “I’m not scared of loving you, I’m just scared of losing you” encapsulates the vibe of the song beautifully.
Going into the song, one can suggest that it’s a heart break song due to the title, but once heard it is evident that it’s actually a love song between Gomez and Blanco.
The simplicity of this song is what Gomez needed. Although most of her songs are considered to be hits, I am glad she is stepping away from the kind of genre of songs she made before.
This new album could offer us something soulful, sweet, and soft. One could say this is the right direction for Gomez because frankly, her older music just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I just hope it stays this way throughout the album.
Now is this song revolutionary? No, but it’s cute and could be the first step to a fresh approach for Gomez.
Overall, “Scared of Loving You” is a tasteful song that shows the chemistry between Blanco and Gomez and the rawness and realness their love for each other is. It’s exciting to say that this song can resonate with many listeners. Even if one isn’t quite fond of Gomez, the song itself is very catchy for everyone.
