To celebrate its release, Selena stopped by The Tonight Show where she chatted with Jimmy Fallon and reflected on her new album, “I’m very happy [it’s out]. I think I was holding my breath for four years and then finally I exhaled and now it exists.”  Reflecting on the album’s first two singles, Lose You To Love Me and Look At Her Now, Selena shares,  “There came a point in my life where there were so many things being said on my behalf, and I found myself protecting people who didn’t really protect me, because I didn’t really want to start anything.  But I had a right to say my side of the story.  [And] I felt like that was so liberating. Because it almost felt like I had let it go, personally, inside of me, once it was out.”

Here’s the kicker – Selena has ONE more song to release – it’s emotional, it’s personal and it’s NOT on Rare, “Maybe there’s a few things, yeah…There’s a few other songs that I couldn’t help but want to exist.  I can’t really tell when, but one of my favorite tracks is called ‘Boyfriend,’ so I can’t wait to for people to hear that one.”

 

 

 

Selena adds, “The most important thing when I was writing and recording my new new album, was to make sure that every single song [would] mean something and actually hold weight.  I wanted to be as honest as I could and the only thing that I wanted was to make people feel good… I’m very lucky to be in a position to make people feel good.”

Jimmy also had Selena take part in one of his crazy-late night games called ‘Can You Feel It?’  See the hilarious clip below.
