Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have officially dropped Younger and Hotter Than Me along with a music video. The track is a part of their first joint album, I Said I Love You First.
'Younger and Hotter Than Me' has become a talking point for fans. Released alongside a relatively melancholic music video, the song touches on themes of regret, self-worth, and the pressures of fame, reports suggest.
The track appears to be about heartbreak as it reportedly addresses an ex who keeps moving on with younger partners. However, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have hinted at deeper layers, suggesting that the song also reflects on the fleeting nature of fame, particularly for young stars in the entertainment industry.
Capital FM reports that the singer said in an Interview Magazine interview:
"'Younger And Hotter Than Me' is a song that felt very appropriate to me being in the industry and always knowing there’s something shinier or better out there that people want. Sometimes you can lose yourself in that, and I think my only tip would be that there’s no one in the world like the person that’s reading this right now. And that’s what has gotten me through everything."
She continued:
"I wish I was kinder to myself and I wish that I had been more confident in the fact that I am capable. I am worthy of all these things that are coming into my life, no matter what my background is."
The music video also gives a nod to this interpretation as Selena revisits her past as a child actor. Take a look at the official 'Younger And Hotter Than Me' music video by Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco:

"Selenators please we have to make this album chart to show Selena how grateful we are", penned a fan.

"Benny I hope you read this: Thank you for showing us women how to be loved right. This Album is truly phenomenal. I am so touched by the way a man with a good heart can bring out the very best out of a woman. You are THE man! Truly, this Album is something else. <3", expressed a fourth.
People also chimed in on X (formerly Twitter) to voice their reactions:
"I checked it out. It is awesome, they look too good together. Their chemistry and love speaks volumes.", declared a netizen.
"Selenas vocals + Bennys production = a whole masterpiece!", hyped another.
"They really said couple goals and dropped a music video to prove it! Please don’t tank. Manifesting a chart-topper, not a chart-dropper!", shared a third.
The music video for Younger and Hotter Than Me opens with Selena Gomez lying on a couch in a home covered in white sheets. As the camera pulls back, it reveals that the house is set on a soundstage.
She then walks into a bathroom, where Selena Gomez encounters a young girl dressed as a princess, which is seemingly a nod to her childhood stardom. Benny Blanco appears briefly as he shares a meal and a hug with her before driving away. Next, Selena slowly walks to her bed, alone.
