'Sunset Blvd' is inspired by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's first date in Los Angeles

'Sunset Blvd' is like a personal note for Selena and Benny. The track was inspired by their first date on Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard.

Billboard reports that in an Apple Music interview, Selena Gomez stated,

"It just felt like it was a little taste of what we are and how we made this together, and how much we loved it and how much we love each other. And it just felt like it was meant to be."

Benny Blanco added,

"She has had such a journey in life, both personally, medically, so many other things. She makes you just believe it. She is like, ‘I’m not scared of dying young or anyone,’ but she is scared of the fact of losing someone that she has finally created a bond with where she feels comfortable enough. And somehow by God's grace, I happen to be that person. I have no idea why, but I am."

I Said I Love You First is the first full-length album of Selena Gomez since 2020's Rare. It will drop on March 21, 2025.
