‘It’s The Most Powerful Moment When I Get To Perform It’: Selena Gomez Reveals The Tune She Really Wants To Redo

by

Selena Gomez has achieved much in her extensive career, even at age 33. She’s been recognized with multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her TV and film work, as well as Grammy nods for her music. Reflecting on her musical path lately, Gomez spoke of a memorable instance from the past – a song she expressed a desire to re-record again.

Prior to establishing herself as a successful solo artist with multiple albums (which included collaborations with fiancé Benny Blanco), Selena Gomez fronted the band Selena Gomez & The Scene. This group came together in 2008, coinciding with her relationship with Nick Jonas and blossoming friendship with Taylor Swift. During an episode of the “Therapuss” podcast hosted by Jake Shane, he inquired about her favorite song from that period, to which she playfully replied:

It seems that by ‘Who Says…’ you’re referring to a song, right? A while back someone questioned its presence on your profile, and you confirmed singing it, but weren’t aware it was listed under ‘The Scene’. Your friend Ashley helped clarify this for you. If asked about favorites, that would undoubtedly be my top pick as well.

Selena Gomez found common ground with the host, sharing their thrill as the opening notes of “Who Says” began to play. She went on to say…

The peak experience for me is when I get to perform it. To be honest, the sole reason I’d consider embarking on another tour would be if I could play ‘Who Says.’ It gives me a tremendous boost and makes me feel great, something I want others to experience too. The message in that song holds such significance for me that I’ll never forget it.

My favorite moment is performing the song ‘Who Says.’ If given the opportunity, I would go on tour again just to perform it. It makes me feel wonderful and I want others to share this feeling too. The meaning behind that song’s message is something I’ll always remember.

One could only speculate about the excitement among Selena Gomez’s fans at the prospect of her performing “Who Says” on tour or releasing a new version of the song. Could she possibly follow in Taylor Swift’s footsteps by recording an updated rendition titled “Who Says (Selena’s Version)”? It appears that she might be considering it, as she has expressed interest in this idea, stating:

I need to redo it. I should recut it.

As a diehard fan of music, hearing “Who Says” by Selena Gomez & The Scene was like a breath of fresh air in 2011. This powerful track served as the leading single from their third album, When the Sun Goes Down. The song’s message is all about self-love and encouragement to stand tall against negativity, whether it comes from haters or cyberbullies. Lyrics such as “Who says you’re not perfect? Who says you’re not worth it? Who says you’re the only one that’s hurting?” are like anthems for anyone seeking strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

The musician later commented that when they initially produced the track, they adored it due to its universal message that resonated with many. Now, as she’s grown older, she continues to value the song, yet finds it carries an entirely new significance for her.

Enthusiasts are undoubtedly looking forward to Selena Gomez potentially reviving some tunes from her time with The Shine. Meanwhile, you can anticipate seeing her on television schedules in 2025, as “Only Murders in the Building” is set to come back for Season 5 on Tuesday, September 9. To enjoy this show, a Hulu subscription will be required.
