Along with BLACKPINK, Friday, June 26, also brought us new music from Selena Gomez. The “Rare” singer joined Trevor Daniel on a remix of his song “Past Life.” So what do the lyrics of Selena Gomez and Trevor Daniel’s “Past Life” mean? Well, according to the former Disney Channel star, the track is all about overcoming a toxic past, whether that be a relationship or other unhealthy choices.
“When I heard the song the first time, I loved the fact that it was kind of like a story about all the things that we tend to hold onto and the patterns that we have,” the Wizards of Waverly Place alum told Daniel in an interview. “And I’m very, very vocal about my personal experiences making decisions that maybe aren’t necessarily healthy for me.”
Fans have connected Gomez’s quotes about the song to an interview she did with NPR in January, where the Spring Breakers actress talked about how she was in an abusive relationship with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. “No, because I’ve found the strength in it,” Gomez said when NPR asked if getting over Bieber was a difficult part in her life. “It’s dangerous to stay in a victim mentality. And I’m not being disrespectful, I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse.”
When NPR asked if Gomez meant “emotional abuse” or a different kind of abuse, the “Who Says” singer responded, “Yes, and I think that it’s something that—I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. And I had to understand the choices I was making. As much as I definitely don’t want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I’ve ever felt and I’ve found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible.”

Verse 1: Trevor Daniel and Selena Gomez
I’m trying to be honest with my happiness
Don’t know why I’m bad at this, uh
And I don’t wanna sit in all my sadness
I know it’s a habit of mine

I start, but I don’t know how to end
Don’t re-, don’t remind me
I ruined it before it began, oh
Chorus: Selena Gomez with Trevor Daniel
Last night was the last night of my past life
Got me here like you can never figure me out

Sitting here, talking to myself
Thinking how I used to use you, only thing I’m used to
Last night was the last time, was the last time, woah

Honestly, I mean it
And if I could convince myself to feel it
You know I would feel it, I would
