The Weeknd opened up about writing breakup songs about Selena Gomez in a new interview with ‘Esquire.’
The Weeknd was tasked with naming which five of his songs defined him best during his new interview with Esquire. Interestingly, no tracks from his 2018 EP, My Dear Melancholy, made the list. This record was released just months after The Weeknd’s split from Selena Gomez, and seemingly has many references to the singer, as well as another one of The Weeknd’s other famous exes, Bella Hadid. Despite not referencing the EP in his five-song bio, though, The Weeknd did briefly touch on writing the album during his Esquire interview. “The reason why it was so short is like, I think I just had nothing else to say on this,” he explained.
