In a heartfelt moment on the Therapuss With Jake Shane podcast, Selena Gomez opened up about a song from her past that still moves her deeply—and she’s ready to bring it back to life.
The singer revealed that “Who Says”, the empowering lead single from her former band Selena Gomez & the Scene, remains one of her most emotionally charged performances. She confessed, “It’s the most powerful moment when I get to perform it.” In fact, it’s the only song that might tempt her back on tour: “That’s honestly the only reason I would ever do a tour again, to perform ‘Who Says,’” she shared EW.comJust Jared.
Selena also noted that her voice has changed since the song’s 2011 release. “My voice sounds young on the original,” she admitted. “I need to redo it. I should recut it.” She even joked she’d have to “take it down an octave from each year I’ve sang it” if she were to perform it today EW.comJust Jared.
Her connection to the song runs deep. On a recent trip abroad, she heard “Who Says” on the radio and found herself unexpectedly in tears. “Why the f— am I tearing up to my own song?” she wondered aloud. It was like reconnecting with a younger version of herself—the version that delivered such powerful, self-affirming lyrics EW.comJust Jared.
