LISTEN: Selena Gomez & Julia Michaels Get Real About Anxiety in New Song
Selena Gomez and Julia Michaels have teamed up for a new song called “Anxiety” that is featured on Michael’s album Inner Monologue Part 1. “Feel like I’m always apologizing for feeling like I’m out of my mind when I’m doing just fine,” Gomez sings on the track. “And my exes all say that I’m hard to deal with, and I admit, it’s true.” On Instagram, she described Michaels as her “soul sister” and wrote, “This song is extremely close to my heart as I’ve experienced anxiety and know a lot of my friends do too. You’re never alone if you feel this way.” Michaels revealed in a radio interview on Thursday that she asked Gomez to be on the track shortly after writing it. “I was like, I think it’d be really awesome to have a song with two women on it that struggle with the same thing, that is talking about something other than two women fighting for a guy’s attention,” she explained.
