Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco aren’t done with their I Said I Love You First rollout. The recently engaged couple unveiled the deluxe version of their album on Friday (March 28) with two new tracks.
Among the new songs is the fan-favorite previously unreleased track “Stained,” which was written sometime pre-Rare, but after 2015’s Revival. The song, originally produced by her now-fiancé, was first teased in 2016 when the singer shared a snippet. The track eventually leaked in full on the internet, but didn’t make the cut on either of Gomez’s next two albums. Now, it’s available for fans to enjoy in full.
In a livestream that was recorded by a fan last weekend, Gomez gave listeners (and Blanco, who was on the stream with her) some background on what had happened with “Stained,” saying, “You know, I actually loved that song and I was nervous … I remember I was still nervous to curse in a song. I don’t know what happened. I’m sure I leaked it on accident, or I did something. But it got out, and I’m kind of happy that it did.”
Additionally, the deluxe version features an acoustic version of their Gracie Abrams collaboration, “Call Me When You Break Up.” Upon the original album’s release, Gomez, Blanco and Abrams joined Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 this week to discuss the team-up, where the “That’s So True” singer opened up about how natural the song’s creation was.
“For as long as I’ve cared about music, both of their work has been in my life,” Abrams said of Gomez and Blanco. “So anything that they want from me is a yes forever. And I just felt really grateful for the opportunity. And also just the song was immediately so stuck in my head as soon as I heard it for the first time. And of course, the opportunity to write my verse on it just happened so quickly, which I think is such a testament to how addicting the song is I think.”
