It looks like we could be waiting for Selena Gomez's new album SG3 and a tour for quite a long time.

Selenators, does SG3 sound like something you want? Well, let me tell you you're never gonna get it...at least not very soon.

Ever since Selena Gomez first teased that she was recording a brand new album, fans have been desperate to hear it. Since she released 'Rare' in 2020, Selena has dropped a Spanish EP ('Revelacion') and multiple standalone singles ('Single Soon', 'Love On') but an album is yet to be announced.

Selena's also returned to acting starring in Only Murders in the Building and she's currently receiving Oscars buzz for her role in the new film Emilia Pérez.

Now, Selena has updated fans on when we might get to hear new music from her and it's not looking good for Selenators.

Speaking to Variety about her music ahead of the release of her film Emilia Pérez, Selena said: "I currently don’t have anything, but I will say music is going to always be a part of me. So I don’t think any movements are happening right now, but it will always be in my life."

This isn't the first time that Selena has shut down hopes for new music from her. In an interview with Variety earlier this year, she spoke about acting in Only Murders in the Building and explained: "I’m in love with this right now. I’m enjoying this."

On the Smartless podcast, Selena also said: "I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else. I don’t think I’m the best singer - but I do know how to tell stories."

She later clarified with Rolling Stone: "I love film. I love TV - I just feel like I have not done a lot of the things that I want to do in that space."

Selena ended by saying: "It’s not ‘no, never’ [to music], it’s more that I would like to explore [acting] more."

While it sounds like Selena is putting the breaks on music for now, fans can look forward to her original songs on the Emilia Pérez soundtrack. Selena sings the solo songs 'Bienvenida' and 'Mi Camino'. Selena also appears on 'El Trío' and 'Perdóname' with her castmates Karla Sofía Gascón and Zoe Saldaña.

Selena previously told Billboard in April that she was making an album saying: "I would like to say that I am working towards an album. I feel like I’m brewing and I’m in the process of really creating some great songs, hopefully." However, it appears that she's put that project on hold for now.

Whether or not Selena finishes her album after press for Emilia Pérez ends or simply moves on to her next acting project is yet to be seen.

With Selena set to play Linda Rondstadt in a new biopic, we should at least get some covers on the soundtrack.

And whenever Selena wants to release another 'Bad Liar' or 'Fetish', we'll be ready!
