A wave of exciting new music arrived last Friday, with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco leading the pack with their joint album I Said I Love You First. Jack Harlow enlisted none other than Doja Cat for his brand-new single “Just Us.” After debuting it during his Hope on the Street tour, K-pop idol J-Hope treated fans to “Mona Lisa,” his second solo single of the year.

As always, InMusic polled fans on X (formerly Twitter) to determine the week’s favorite new release. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s I Said I Love You First won with 60% of the vote, followed by Jack Harlow and Doja Cat’s “Just Us” with 20%. Morgan Wallen’s “I’m a Little Crazy” took 14%, while J-Hope’s “Mona Lisa” came in last with 6%.
Released on March 21, I Said I Love You First marks the latest chapter in a professional relationship that began in 2015, when Benny Blanco produced “Kill Em with Kindness” and “Same Old Love” from Selena Gomez’s Revival. Over time, their personal relationship blossomed, leading to their engagement announcement on December 11, 2024. The album’s narrative follows the stages of their romance, delving into themes of love, vulnerability, and personal growth.
The album was preceded by three singles—“Scared of Loving You,” “Call Me When You Break Up,” and “Sunset Blvd.” The fourth, “Younger and Hotter Than Me,” was released alongside the album last Friday. The record has quickly garnered acclaim from fans, including praise from Taylor Swift.
