During her appearance on The Tonight Show, Selena Gomez talked about her upcoming album. “It all kinda hits different places that I feel is my lane for my music," she told Jimmy

“I’m just relieved," she told Jimmy Fallon. "It took me four years now to even feel at a good place with this album. And it’s because I had such huge moments that happened in my life personally — that how was I going to capture that and how was I going to actually feel good about what I was saying. I just kept going, and I am relieved.”

"And I would just sit there, and I'm trying to be poised. It was fine. That's what he did with all the time. In press conferences, he'd try to hit me with things. Yeah, it's just he's fun. He's a big kid."
