We’re peeling back the layers on Selena and Benny’s collab album, ‘I Said I Loved You First,’ which is available now in a special blue clearwater vinyl pressing.

When Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were falling deeply in love last year, they started making an album together in the comfort of their own home. And when it arrived on March 21, I Said I Love You First was full of affectionate,

vulnerable songs that lovingly encapsulated their relationship together. The album—which was pressed on limited edition blue clearwater vinyl that you can only get on Complex Shop—brought together A-list contributors, personal songwriting, and some of the year's most unexpected collaborations.

There’s no other way to put it… Selena and Benny are in love. They both refer to songwriting as a form of “therapy,” and they get deep throughout the album.

Throughout the rest of the album, Selena gets personal, singing about falling deeply in love with her fiancée—to the point that she’s scared of watching it fall apart someday..

Scared of loving you
