Who Is Selena Gomez's Song "Boyfriend" About?

Fans will recognise "Boyfriend" as the song Gomez teased during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which was initially thought to be about her ex Justin Bieber (though there are plenty of other references in her music inspired by their tumultuous relationship). The song is actually more of a relatable take on the frustrations that come with dating. Gomez explained that the jam is "a lighthearted song about falling down and getting back up time and time again in love, but also knowing that you don't need anyone other than yourself to be happy." Definitely a vibe we can all associate with!
