But the singer has ensured us all that it's DEFINITELY not about her famous ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber!
While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she admitted that there is a song called 'Boyfriend' that exists! "One of my favorite tracks is called 'Boyfriend.' So, I can’t wait for people to hear that one," Selena revealed.
When talking about the track to The Wall Street Journal, she admitted that "I just came in [to the studio] and was like, 'I want a boyfriend.' And literally, that just became the hook immediately. I was like, 'That’s kind of what I want right now. I've been single for two years. It’s maybe nice.'"
That doesn't sound like it's about JB at all, but because she is so constantly referred to Justin in a romantic context and the fact that HE has a song called "Boyfriend", fans are coming for her.
"sorry not sorry but why is selena releasing a song called boyfriend? justin got shit just for releasing a song the same month she was bringing her album out... justin stays getting shit for the littlest things but when she does them it's fine?" one fan tweeted.
"Selena gomez is really out here naming one of her new songs ‘boyfriend’…..leave justin alone and move on bye," wrote another.
Harsh.
Thankfully, other fans came to Selena's defence, pointing out that Ariana Grande also has a song called "Boyfriend" and it's really not a big deal.
"people saying selena is copying or being 'obsessed' cause she titled a song boyfriend when ariana and justin have a song titled boyfriend as if its not the most generic and based title ever and like theres not thousands of songs named it.... okay."
Feels!
We think it's about time the whole #Jelena thing - love or hate them - is put to bed!
