Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth has revealed that recording his duet with Selena Gomez on 'We Don't Talk Anymore' was a great experience because she could really relate to the track's lyrical content and theme. 

During a recent interview, the star admitted that the song was a good fit for Gomez because of what she was going through in her personal life at the time, meaning her very public split from Justin Bieber: "As for lyrical sentiment, I think it fits so well for her to be on [the song] because everyone knows what she went through."

"And I think everyone's had those relationships where you're obsessed with that one person, but then you break it up peacefully, but it's changed. You can't talk to them like friends anymore. You can say you want to remember friends, but it's easier said than done. It's heartbreaking. 'We Don't Talk Anymore' is basically the conversation a month after that type of breakup."

Gomez, meanwhile, recently told Billboard magazine that she enjoys being in the company of Puth: "I just met him a few months ago and we hit it off and we’re having so much fun. [Charlie] pulls out the best in me. It’s really great. He’s super-talented and it was fun. It just kind of happened organically, to be honest."
