She keeps the sensual energy flowing on Bluest Flame, teasing, ‘I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane.’

And the steam doesn’t stop there.

On Sunset Blvd, Gomez playfully flirts with Blanco, singing about wanting to hold his ‘big, big, hard … heart.’

The album isn’t all bedroom confessions. Gomez takes a reflective turn on Ojos Tristes, a part-Spanish ballad where she recalls holding an old lover ‘one last time.’

Clocking in at just over 35 minutes, I Said I Love You First also boasts high-profile collaborations, with Gracie Abrams lending her vocals to Call Me When You Break Up and Latin powerhouses Tainy and J Balvin joining in on I Can’t Get Enough.

Other stars such as Maria Zardoya feature in the release as she lent her talented vocals for Ojos Tristes. Finneas and Charli XCX also contributed as songwriters.

Ahead of the release, they confessed to Rolling Stone that the recording of the album was the ‘most intimate’ she had ever felt in the studio.

Benny said: ‘She’d wake up, I’d have a pen out, and I’d write what was on her mind.

‘Then we’d go into the other room and create it, and it became a song. It was such a cathartic and therapeutic experience.’
