Are we living in a brief Selenassaince? The promotional blitz around Selena Gomez’s new Apple TV+ documentary is not only giving fans an autobiographical look at her life, but it also comes with a new single, lyric video, a limited-run SiriusXM Radio show and plenty of Gomez factoids to keep her fans satiated.
“This is probably the most you’ll hear about me for a while,” she told Rolling Stone in an interview published Thursday. “I want this to come out, but I also want this behind me. Every now and then, it’s important to just disappear.”
Just ahead of the Friday release of her documentary “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me,” Gomez walked the AFI Fest red carpet to promote the film Wednesday and on Thursday released the eponymous title track featured briefly in the project’s latest trailer. The lullaby-like ballad was inspired by her journals over the past few years and offers an inside look at her mental and physical health struggles, including her history of bipolar disorder, psychosis, suicidal thoughts and numerous health issues that have been chronicled in the media.
