Background

In April 2016, in an interview with Teen Vogue, Gomez first spoke about the possibility of releasing an album.[7] However, it was not until 2019 that she went forward with the project. On March 22, 2019, it was reported that the singer was working on two studio albums simultaneously, one to be released in English and the other one in Spanish.[8] As of March 2019, it was unclear if any of the songs she had released up until this point would appear on a future album.[9] In July 2019, she stated that her album was expected to be released later that year.[10] On October 8, 2019, Gomez took to social media to reveal the release date and the cover art of her upcoming debut studio album.[11][12] The album became available for pre-order on October 11, 2019.[4]
