Selena Gomez Releases New Song “My Mind & Me” from New Documentary Film “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me”
American singer-songwriter Selena Gomez released a new song “My Mind & Me” from her documentary film “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me” on November 4, 2022.
The documentary film is about Selena Gomez's life over six years of her career, directed Alek Keshishian, who is Selena Gomez's manager's brother and who filmed the 2015 music video for Gomez's “Hands to Myself”.
It covers a wide swath of chronological and thematic ground.
The track was written by Julia Michaels, Selena Gomez, Justin Tranter and Ian Kirkpatrick. Produced by Ian Kirkpatrick & Mattman and Robin.
Selena Gomez told Vulture about the song, “It happened in a really organic way. I went through this moment where I was allowing people into my life through my journal, these producers who worked on the song and know me very well; we've worked together for a very long time. I remember releasing all of this stuff to them, and I was scared of what they were going to think. But 'My Mind and Me,' the idea and the chorus, came up, and it was really moving to me. These people took my story and made it something bigger than me. I was really grateful — I keep saying that, but I truly am someone who's grateful for these moments. It's crazy to realize it's about to be released to everyone else who may feel how I felt.”- NgsENBX-sQQ

The film was released exclusively on Apple TV on November 4, 2022.
She said of the film, “I think it brought me back to a time. The things I was watching from 2016, 2017, 2018 — I can't believe I was that girl. That breaks my heart. I'm grateful to be on the other side, but when I watched, for example, the first part of the film where I discuss my body — I don't want to cry now, but I was completely upset with myself. I couldn't believe the things I was aspiring to be. Which really aren't possible unless you have a lot of money and you're willing to spend it to do that to yourself. It really broke my heart. That's not the feeling I want to give anyone. I hope I don't. So watching it was a bit shocking and upsetting.”
She continued, “But I feel genuinely proud. I've had so many moments with people, real genuine moments, where women who are in their 40s tell me about their divorce or something they're walking through. I can't help but just love people for who they are, even when it's frustrating and even maybe when I shouldn't. I believe in people. Ultimately, I sacrificed my story — which I don't mind, it's just a little weird — I hope it has a bigger purpose and can carry on as a conversation for people.”-
She added, “I think it's about discovering myself through my 20s; I had to do that in front of people, and I don't know anything different. I think that Selena — and I hate talking about myself in the third person, I'm so sorry — is not a reflection of where I am now. I don't want people to think that I will forever live in this sad-girl world. Because that's not true. Alek has said this, and it's very true, that when people say, “What's the end of the movie?” The end of the movie is where I am now. Living in New York, and just being. That's all I want to do.” - source : Apple Music
