The actor cum singer went on to add all the perks she enjoys being single saying, "I love going to my room at the end of the day. Just me and my dog. I got the full granny pants situation, stretched out in my bed."

Selena seems to have finally moved on from her tumultuous past which included a widely publicised separation from long-time boyfriend Bieber, who is now married to model Hailey Baldwin, now Hailey Bieber.

Her album, however, touches on her growing from her experiences and emerging stronger and more in touch with herself. "I had low self-esteem, and that's something I work on continuously," she said. "But I feel so empowered because I've gained so much knowledge about what was going on mentally," she said.

"My highs were really high, and my lows would take me out for weeks at a time. I found out I do suffer from mental health issues. And, honestly, that was such a relief. I got on the right medication, and my life has been completely changed," she added.

Being one of the most followed celebrities on Instagram has also proven to be hard, and Selena plans to cut down her time on social media.

"I took a break off Instagram for a year. I'd rather stay away from anything that's going to make me feel bad. I got back on it because I was releasing music, but I just told my best friend, I'm going to have to take it off my phone again soon," shared Selena.

Her latest album, which is also her first in four years releases today.
