Selena Gomez Releases New Single “It Ain’t Me”

The track is definitely a more mature-sounding work for Selena, whose most recent songs have combined a sultry tune. The Norwegian DJ perfectly balances Selena’s soft vocals with increasing intensity of guitar strums and piano notes, Joinfo.com reports with reference to E!Online.

Selena Gomez posted another reminder on Instagram, captioning the video: “Congratulations @kygomusic -our song is finally out in the world.”

Despite the upbeat nature of the beat, Selena’s lyrics narrate a sad story about a relationship that falls apart because of alcoholism. “We were sipping whisky neat / Highest floor, the Bowery / And I was high enough / ‘Somewhere along the lines / We stopped seeing eye to eye / You were staying out all night / And I had enough,” she sings.

“Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning? / Who’s gonna rock you when the sun won’t let you sleep? / Who’s waking up to drive you home when you’re drunk and all alone? / Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning? / It ain’t me.”

This is Selena’s first song in about a year, serving as a follow-up to her collaboration with Charlie Puth “We Don’t Talk Anymore”. “It Ain’t Me” also comes shortly after her boyfriend, The Weeknd, dropped a verse on a Nav’s song “Some Way.”
