Selena Gomez finds her balance and shares her struggle in the song 'My Mind & Me'

"Wanna hear a part to my story I tried to hide in the glory/ And sweep it under the table, so you would never know?"

The delicate internal rhyme in Selena Gomez's "My Mind & Me" ironically suits a song about profound inner discord. The Oscar-shortlisted confessional captures the essence of the Apple TV+ documentary about the singer-actor-producer, "Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me".

The film starts as a behind-the-curtain glimpse at a pop superstar as she promotes her new album. Then, chaos strikes, and it becomes something very different: An unguarded look at the mental-health struggles of a young woman seemingly on top of the world. The song rises to what could very well be Gomez's creative zenith.
