Selena Gomez released her new track "Single Soon" recently, sparking speculation among fans about the inspiration behind it. Even though she hasn't been publicly linked with anyone since 2018, some dedicated fans did some detective work into her past relationships. They pointed to her time with The Weeknd, who she dated from January 2017 to October 2017, just before rekindling her on-and-off romance with Justin Bieber for a short period. This idea caught the attention of media outlets, and Selena decided to share her thoughts on the matter.

In response to an Instagram post by Hollywood Life discussing this fan theory, Selena commented, "Couldn't be more false." If the song is indeed inspired by a particular person, it seems unlikely that fans will be able to guess who that might be. Selena hinted back in November that her upcoming music would delve into the private relationships she's had since she became single again in spring 2018. She mentioned, "I had this whole personal life that was just mine, and now I feel like I need to share these stories, even if it means facing a lot of questions."

After her breakup with The Weeknd in November 2017, Selena spoke positively about their connection and relationship in an interview with Billboard. She expressed, "The best part of it? You know what? Something that's really important to me is the genuine friendship [between me and The Weeknd]. I've never experienced anything quite like it before. We ended things while still being best friends, and it was truly about supporting and caring for each other. That was pretty special for me."
