The best songs of 2025 so far
It's been a hot minute since Selena released anything at all, and most of us expected a few more classic ballad-esque pop tunes and yearning 'Lose You To Love Me'-style dance tracks. And we got a fair bit of it with I Said I Love You First, her new album with bae Benny Blanco. But then, there was 'Bluest Flame' – a fresh, boppy, fun tune with a distinctly 'Brat summer'-esque vibe with the repetition of, 'I just wanna go all night/I just wanna go insane'. Could this be a contender for 2025's song of the summer?

The couple got engaged in December after over a year of dating and although they haven't yet set a date for their nuptials, the 37-year-old groom-to-be admitted he's already invited his friend and collaborator, who he has previously worked with on the likes of 'Shape of You', 'Castle on the Hill', and Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself'. Speaking on the Australian TV show 'Today', Benny said: "I just told him, 'I'm going to have a wedding and you're going to come to the wedding. "Eventually Ed will come to our wedding when we do have one, but unfortunately we have not scheduled one yet - but we will!" After Benny and Selena got engaged, they created songs that eventually ended up on their first joint album, 'I Said I Love You First', which was released in March, but they had never deliberately planned to make such a project together. Speaking about how their LP came to fruition, Benny said: "We just started making music in our house as a little fun activity and then all of a sudden we had one song, then two songs, then three songs, then four songs. Article continues below "She was just a joy to work with and it was better to work with her than anyone else because, at the end of the day, I get to kiss her too.'" During the recording process, a bird caused Benny and Selena to fight. Speaking to Kent 'Smallzy' Small on the latest episode of the 'Smallzy's Surgery' podcast, he said: "The biggest fight we had making the record is we did it at home, and there were birds that would chirp only when she was recording and never any time else. "And I didn't believe her for the first two weeks." Selena recently revealed she does not like to refer to Benny as her fiance. Appearing with her partner on the 'Table Manners' podcast in April, the 32-year-old singer explained: "[Calling him my fiance is] so strange. "I just say, my partner or Benny. But the other day, I caught myself saying 'Well, my boyfriend ...' but that's not quite why we're there." And after he and Selena shared their first kiss, Benny knew he wanted to "have a baby" with his lover. Appearing on Spotify's 'Countdown To' series in March, he said: "I knew right after we kissed, I was like, 'Oh wow. I'm probably going to marry this person'.

Benny Blanco reveals shock detail in wedding plans with Selena Gomez as he makes a surprise appearance on Australian television
Benny Blanco has revealed a little-known detail about his wedding to Selena Gomez. The music producer, who proposed to the Lose You To Love Me hitmaker back in December, appeared on the Today show on Wednesday to discuss his music, his latest album with his fiancé and their upcoming nuptials. Chatting to Richard Wilkins, the Hal David Starlight award-winner admitted that life 'couldn't be better' after getting engaged to Selena and releasing their first joint album I Said I Love You First, which hit radio waves in March. 'Most people when they get engaged they plan a wedding, but you and Selena make an album,' Richard joked to Benny. Speaking of the music-making process, Benny - real name Benjamin Joseph Levin - revealed that the album wasn't something the couple planned, it just happened. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We just started making music in our house as a little fun activity and then all of a sudden we had one song, then two songs, then three songs, then four songs.' He went on: 'She was just a joy to work with and it was better to work with her than anyone else because at the end of the day I get to kiss her too.' Opening up about the much- talked-about wedding - and the anticipated star-studded guest list - Benny put out rumours that his pal and fellow musical genius Ed Sheeran had already RSVP'd. 'I just told him [Ed], "I'm gonna have a wedding and you're gonna come to the wedding',' he said. He then went on to reveal that the couple hadn't even sent invites yet to their A-lister friends, let alone set a date for their nuptials. 'Eventually Ed will come to our wedding, when we do have one, but unfortunately we have not scheduled one yet - but we will!' he said. Benny and Selena confirmed their relationship in December 2023, with the pair getting engaged a year later. 'Forever starts now,' Selena wrote at the time, showing off her sparkling diamond ring. Speaking of the upcoming nuptials, The Only Murders in the Building star admitted she's planning to ditch the classic bride and groom dance at their reception because she's too shy. 'I don't think we're looking at having one of those 'cause they're a little — I feel embarrassed,' she said on an episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. But while there won't be a traditional first dance, Selena revealed she's making room for a deeply meaningful moment — a special dance with her grandfather. 'He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle,' she shared. 'I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that.'
