Who are Selena Gomez's 'Scared Of Loving You' lyrics about?
Selena's new single, cleverly titled 'Scared Of Loving You', is about anything but being scared of loving. Instead Selena sings: I'm not scared of loving you, I'm scared of losing you
With this being a collaboration with Benny, we can assume she's singing these lyrics about her beau who she's engaged to marry. When she announced the song on her Instagram, Benny adorably commented: "i’m not scared of loving u bb"
The Emilia Pérez actress has spoken proudly about how her relationship with Benny is the best she's ever had and in the song she gives a nod to that.
She sings, When I was young, I would love too fast, Hope I don't repeat my past, which many will relate to her past relationships with the likes of Justin Bieber, Nick Jonas and The Weeknd.
Who wrote Selena Gomez's 'Scared Of Loving You'?
Selena Gomez and Benjamin Levin (Benny Blanco) are two of the writers on the song which make us think it's definitely about their love for each other.
Billie Eilish's brother Finneas O'Connell (FINNEAS) is also credited as writer on the song and a producer - along with Benny - which isn't so surprising as he worked on Selena's 'Lose You To Love Me' back in 2020.
When is Selena Gomez's 'I Said I Love You First' coming out?
Selena's album with Benny is set to be released on 21st March. Announcing the news she said: "I always trick you guys my NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21"
This comes after the 'Love On' singer insisted she didn't have any new music coming just four months ago.
The album is expected to explore her and Benny's love story, with Selena admitting in the past that, in their relationship, she was the first one to say I love you.
When doing the 'Who’s Most Likely To?' TikTok trend, as a voice-over asked, "Who said ‘I love you’ first?" Selena smiled and pointed to herself.

The lyrics to Selena Gomez's 'Scared Of Loving You':
VERSE 1
If I broke your heart, would you take me back?
If I broke my arm, would you sign my cast?
When I was young, I would love too fast
Hope I don't repeat my past
CHORUS
'Cause I'm not scared of lovin' you
I'm just scared of losin' you
I'm not scared of anyone or dying young
Or if you're gonna find somebody new
'Cause how could they love you
As much as I do?
As much as I do
VERSE 2
If I lose my shit, promise not to laugh
If I throw a fit and get photographed
Would you take my side? Would you hold my hand?
If they sell a lie, don't let 'em send me back
CHORUS
'Cause I'm not scared of lovin' you
I'm just scared of losin' you
I'm not scared of anyone or dying young
Or if you're gonna find somebody new
'Cause how could they love you
As much as I do?
As much as I do
