Selena Gomez<\/strong><\/a> is thrilled with the results of her new album, I Said I Love You First<\/em>, and a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> the project was hugely cathartic as she was able to put the old demons from her past relationships behind her and get even closer to fianc\u00e9e Benny Blanco<\/strong><\/a>, who was by her side and supportive throughout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSelena is in an entirely new chapter in her life and this album celebrates that,\u201d the insider says. \u201cIt\u2019s full of joy and is her sexiest, most adult album yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe writing process always gets very deep, that\u2019s how she comes up with her best stuff, and this album was no different, so it was emotional at times. Yes, she\u2019s in a very happy place now, but as everyone knows she\u2019s been through hell with her love life and she dug into her past hurts for some of the inspiration.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n On one of Selena\u2019s new tracks, \u201cYou Said You Were Sorry,\u201d she throws shade ex Justin Bieber<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s way for the first time in a long time, which cut especially deep considering the \u201cBaby\u201d singer\u2019s recent spat of erratic behavior and rumors he\u2019s going through a rough patch with wife Hailey Bieber<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Justin, 32, has since revealed that his songs \u201cWhat Do You Mean?,\u201d \u201cMark My Words\u201d and \u201cSorry\u201d \u2014 the song Selena\u2019s own music referenced \u2014 from his 2016 album, Purpose<\/em>, were about his ex girlfriend, who he dated up until 2014 when they officially split, though they kept an on-again-off-again deal going for some years afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n More importantly than seizing the opportunity to take a swipe at her ex was the chance to make music<\/a> with fianc\u00e9e Benny, 37. The album was a collaborative project between the former Disney star and the music producer and, as Life & Style<\/em> had reported, their keen on keeping their relationship positive and productive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
