Selena Gomez: 'Music was an outlet - I needed a voice in all of the noise'

Superstar Selena Gomez has revealed that she's proud of her latest album, entitled 'Revival', because it shows how far she has come over the years. 

The beauty told BBC Music that creating this body of work was incredibly rewarding and cathartic: "I found music to be a real outlet - I needed a voice in all of the noise."

She went onto add that it's flattering when people assume that it's her very first album: "I've appreciated that reaction because I released my first album when I was 14. What on earth was I going to be talking about at 14? I think one of the songs on that album was called 'Crush'. I mean, that's as intense as my emotions became!"

Gomez was then asked about her single 'Good For You' and she recalled her first impressions of the sultry track: "It was the second song that was submitted to me. There was no track, it was very, very raw. Just singing. But it was one of those songs that I felt so deeply. I had previously released [Bieber-inspired break-up song] The Heart Wants What It Wants, which was very sad and vulnerable. It was good for me to get that off my chest but I was in a place where I felt this sense of empowerment and Good For You expressed that perfectly."
