Selena Gomez dropped her new song “Single Soon” on Friday, and there’s been a lot of speculation about who—if anyone—it’s about. But one person who definitely did not inspire the lyrics? Selena’s ex, The Weeknd.
Sel made this clear by hopping into the comments of a post, which pointed out that fans are speculating “Single Soon” is about her ex. As she put it: “Couldn’t be more false.”
Meanwhile, Sel also reacted to “Single Soon” entering the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 Charts, saying, “Broke my hand and had surgery. I don’t care about selling anything. I’m just happy to make music with my friends.” (Side note: Wishing Sel a speedy recovery with her hand!)

[Verse 1]
Should I do it on the phone?
Should I leave a little note
In the pocket of his coat? (Yeah)
Maybe I’ll just disappear
I don’t wanna see a tear
And the weekend’s almost here
[Chorus]
I’m pickin’ out this dress
Tryin’ on these shoes
‘Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
I know he’ll be a mess
When I break the news
But I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
[Post-Chorus]
I’ma date who I wanna
Stay out late if I wanna
I’ma do what I wanna do
I’m pickin’ out this dress
Tryin’ on these shoes
‘Causе I’ll be single soon
I’ll be singlе soon
[Verse 2]
I know I’m a little high-maintenance
But I’m worth a try
Might not give a reason why (Oh well)
We both had a lot of fun
Time to find another one
Blame it all on feelin’ young
[Chorus]
I’m pickin’ out this dress
Tryin’ on these shoes
‘Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
I know he’ll be a mess
When I break the news
But I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
[Post-Chorus]
I’ma date who I wanna
Stay out late if I wanna
I’ma do what I wanna do
I’m pickin’ out this dress
Tryin’ on these shoes
‘Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
[Bridge]
Yeah, I’ll be single soon
Yeah, I’ll be single soon
Yeah, I’ll be single soon
Yeah, I’ll be single soon
[Chorus]
I’m pickin’ out this dress
Tryin’ on these shoes
‘Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
I know he’ll be a mess
When I break the news
But I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
[Post-Chorus]
I’ma date who I wanna
Stay out late if I wanna
I’ma do what I wanna do
I’m pickin’ out this dress
Tryin’ on these shoes
‘Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
