Selena Gomez's New Song 'Anxiety' With Julia Michaels Might Feature Lyrics About Justin Bieber

Selenators rejoiced yesterday when the 26-year-old singer returned to the music scene with a feature on Julia Michaels' new song "Anxiety." The honest and heartfelt song created a buzz with fans of both stars, and ultimately caught the attention of music listeners everywhere with its message. As you can tell by the title alone, the song is about mental health.

With lyrics like "I tell 'em to f**k off, I'm holding hands with my depression," "I make all these plans with friends and hope they call and cancel," and "All my friends, they don't know what it's like," the track explicitly tackles feelings about anxiety and depression, and the everyday struggle the two women face as a result. Many have been commending the singers for their honesty.

And there is one bit which many think could be directed at Selena's ex, Justin Bieber. The lyrics in question go, "Feel like I'm always apologizing for feeling/Like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine/And my exes all say that I'm hard to deal with/And I admit, it's true." According to Wikipedia, both Julia and Selena are credited as writers on the song. If this is true, then it wouldn't be crazy to assume Sel had Justin in mind while writing and singing about her exes.

Following the song's release, Selena took to Instagram to share a sweet message about the song and her gratitude for Julia. "This song is extremely close to my heart as I’ve experienced anxiety and know a lot of my friends do too," she wrote.

"Anxiety" appears on Julia's new EP Inner Monologue Part 1, out now.
