In an interview with Jake Shane for the Therapuss podcast, Selena Gomez said the only reason she would go back on tour is to perform the song Who Says. This track was the lead single from the album When the Sun Goes Down, released during the final phase of her band.
The song takes her back to her beginnings with Selena Gomez & the Scene. It holds deep emotional and cultural meaning for her.
The singer and actress admitted that performing this song is one of the most powerful moments for her. This feeling would be her main motivation to return to touring. She also mentioned that her voice has changed over time. If she were to record the song today, she would need to lower it by an octave for every year she has been singing it. This makes her feel the need to rework it.
The emotion the song brings out in her is clear. During a recent stay abroad, she was deeply moved when she heard it. She explained she cried because the younger version of herself was present, sending messages she still needs to hear.
In a conversation with Saoirse Ronan for Variety, Selena explained why she has paused live performances. She said: “Music will always be part of my life because my partner is a musician and I like making music for fun. But being exposed on stage can be vulnerable, whereas playing a character is a refuge.”
Selena Gomez & the Scene released three albums between 2009 and 2012. After that, Gomez began her solo career with Stars Dance (2013), Revival (2015) and Rare (2020). Her latest collaboration, with her fiancé Benny Blanco, is the song I Said I Love You First.
Beyond her musical career, Selena Gomez represents a cultural statement that unites fashion, music and personal expression. Who Says embodies a language of authenticity and empowerment that remains relevant throughout her artistic journey.
