On Monday,fans speculatednew music from Gomez was on its way when some spotted a recently published website —illbesinglesoon.com— featuring the words “Single Soon?” in large red letters and was associated with the “Wolves” musician’s record label, Interscope Records.
The more telling clue that it was related to new music from Gomez was that the bottom of the page also featured links to the pop star’s social channels, and fans could sign up for updates.
In addition to the website, fans also noticed flyers featuring the words “Single Soon?” throughout cities in the U.S., which featured a phone number that people could call.

Back in February, Gomez toldVanity Fairthat her next batch of music would be upbeat and honest.
“The music I’m doing right now is about real things that I’m walking through,” she told the publication. “It’s really powerful, strong, very pop. The theme generally is freedom — freedom from relationships, freedom from the darkness.”
She added, “If I had my way, I would probably write ballads my whole life, but I want to produce music that will make people smile.”
The last single Gomez released was nearly a year ago with “My Mind & Me” — a song that she shared alongside her documentarySelena Gomez: My Mind & Me.
