“Lose You To Love Me,” Selena Gomez’s emotional 2019 ballad about a past love, is widely believed to be about her relationship with Justin Bieber. The lyrics, “In two months, you replaced us/Like it was easy/Made me think I deserved it/In the thick of healing,” (per Genius) definitely line up with Justin’s decision to marry Hailey Bieber months after their last breakup. Plus, the timeline Gomez offered to Radio Disney as to when she wrote the song suggests it’s about Bieber. “I wrote this song over a year ago and it’s obviously a very emotional song for me but it’s interesting to see how far I’ve come from that point to now,” she said (via the Daily Mail). “And me sharing my story is exactly what I’ve always done, because I can’t be inauthentic, I can’t pretend that I’m not going through something when it’s obvious that I had been,” the 30-year-old added.

Of course, Gomez has also allegedly released other songs about her former flame. In “Rare,” for example, the Texas native sings “Saw us gettin’ older/ Burnin’ toast in the toaster/” (via Genius) which could refer to the fact that she and Bieber got together as teenagers, but their relationship wasn’t able to last as they aged. Similarly, “Feel Me” is about a partner who cheated on her, like the way she accused Justin of doing in the past, per PopSugar.
