Selena Gomez set to release new music ahead of BAFTA nomination and Valentine's Day celebration

Selena Gomez releases new music ahead of BAFTA nomination for Emilia Perez and Valentine's Day with fiancé.

Selena Gomez is set to release new music ahead of the upcoming BAFTA Awards, where she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the Netflix film 'Emilia Perez'.

The 31-year-old singer and actress, who last released her album Rare in 2020, will drop a secret single on Friday, February 14, which also coincides with Valentine's Day. According to reports from The Sun, the release will mark a significant moment as Selena celebrates her first Valentine's Day with her fiancé Benny Blanco.

This new track comes just over a year after Gomez released My Mind & Me, a song for her 2022 documentary of the same name. Despite her ongoing success in music, Gomez previously hinted that her next album might be her last as she shifts her focus toward acting. The singer has enjoyed notable hits in the past, including Love You Like a Love Song, Come & Get It, and Wolves.

The new music release follows a challenging period for Gomez, including the controversy surrounding Emilia Perez due to the revelation of past racist tweets from co-star Karla Sofia Gascon. Selena herself also faced criticism after Gascon referred to her in a derogatory manner on social media. Speaking at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, where she was awarded the Virtuosos Award, Gomez shared that the situation had caused some disappointment, but she remains proud of her work in the film.

In a more personal development, Gomez recently announced her engagement to Benny Blanco, marking a milestone in their relationship. The singer shared the news with her fans on Instagram, showing off her marquise diamond ring, which is a nod to the lyrics of her 2015 hit Good For You.

As Selena navigates the world of music, acting, and her personal life, fans are eager to see what’s next for her.
