Selena Gomez dropped the deluxe version of I Said I Love You First last week

@PopCrave's tweet comes days after Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco dropped the deluxe version of their latest album (on March 28). In the deluxe album, the couple released two new tracks.

One of those songs - Stained - was first teased by the Good For You singer with a snippet back in 2016. However, the full track was later leaked on the internet, which is why it didn't make the cut in the next two albums Gomez released.

Selena Gomez's deluxe album also features an acoustic version of her Gracie Abrams collaboration, Call Me When You Break Up. When the original album had dropped, Abrams, Blanco, and Gomez joined Apple Music 1's Zane Lowe to discuss their collaboration.

In the interview, Abrams said of the newly engaged couple:

"For as long as I’ve cared about music, both of their work has been in my life. So anything that they want from me is a yes forever. And I just felt really grateful for the opportunity."

The That's So True singer also called the track addictive, adding:

"And also just the song was immediately so stuck in my head as soon as I heard it for the first time. And of course, the opportunity to write my verse on it just happened so quickly, which I think is such a testament to how addicting the song is I think."
