00:00 ♪ You promised the world that I fell for it ♪

00:04 - Selena Gomez is sharing a never-before-seen peek

00:06 at the creation of one of her most powerful songs.

00:09 On Monday, the vocalist took to TikTok

00:11 to post an unearthed clip from the early stages

00:13 of crafting her pop ballad, "Lose You to Love Me."

00:16 In the video, Selena sat behind the piano

00:17 and worked on the chords and the emotional lyrics.

00:20 ♪ Say I find a wild forest ♪

00:23 ♪ And I let it burn ♪

00:25 - She wrote over top the video,

00:27 "Making of Me Getting to Know Myself."

00:29 And in her caption, she reflected on how meaningful

00:32 that stripped-down piano sesh was, writing,

00:34 "This isn't the greatest, I know,

00:36 so I hope no one minds me

00:37 turning the comments off from my head,

00:38 but this was the best, most sincere moments

00:40 with 'Lose You to Love Me.'"

00:42 Selena released "Lose You to Love Me" in 2019,

00:44 and it became an instant hit,

00:45 becoming her first number one song

00:47 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

00:49 In her Apple TV+ documentary, "My Mind and Me,"

00:52 which came out last year,

00:53 Selena reflected on how she and her co-writers

00:55 came up with the song.

00:56 She said, "I texted Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter

00:59 and said, 'I think I'm ready to just say I'm sad.'

01:01 We wrote the song in 45 minutes,

01:03 the fastest song I've ever written.

01:05 It's about more than just a lost love.

01:07 It's me learning to choose myself, to choose life,

01:09 but also hoping that people can find grace

01:11 and peace in that, too.

01:12 The song is about knowing that you completely lost

01:14 every part of who you are, just to discover yourself again."

01:17 Selena spoke to Access Hollywood last fall

01:20 about fans' reaction to her documentary.

01:22 - It still doesn't feel real.

01:24 I'm really grateful that I was able to share my story,

01:26 and I'm also more grateful that the message

01:29 has kind of been carrying out through social media and stuff,

01:33 and seeing people kind of shed a light

01:35 on their mental health journey is really beautiful.

01:38 - In addition to her success in music and her documentary,

01:41 Selena has also taken on the world of TV,

01:43 starring in "Only Murders in the Building,"

01:45 opposite Steve Martin and Martin Short.

01:47 Back at the premiere of the show's second season

01:48 last summer, the co-stars reacted to all the acclaim

01:51 around their performances.

01:53 - Okay, listen, I want to say this in all seriousness.

01:55 I love the three of you together,

01:58 but I've been reading some of the reviews for this season,

02:01 and people are saying some of the best work

02:03 they've seen from the three of you.

02:05 - Thank you, but, oh, go ahead, finish.

02:08 (laughing)

02:09 - Oh, snap.

02:11 But many people are saying, "Selena,

02:12 this is your career's best,"

02:15 and they cannot wait to see for more people to respond to it.

02:18 What do you think of that?

02:20 - I'm sweating, but I'm really, really honored, honestly.

02:25 I'm so lucky that I get to do the show,

02:27 so I just hope people like it.

02:29 I did my best.

02:31 - Well, we were there, so we saw it firsthand.

02:34 - What'd you think?

02:35 - We thought it was incredible,

02:36 and Marty and I would often ride home together,

02:39 and no kidding, we would talk about how great Selena is.

02:43 - Really?

02:44 - I've said it before, what a relief it is

02:46 when Selena comes on the screen in a single,

02:49 you know, it gets away from us guys,

02:51 and there's a certain calm.

02:53 - Okay, now I'm sweating more.

02:54 - Okay, yeah.

02:55 We're gonna compliment you.
