While on the show she revealed her new music will be different from her other ‘sad girl songs’ 

‘I’m just so used to writing sad girl songs because I’m good at that, but I’m ready to have some fun,’ Selena said. ‘And I think people are going to like it.’

She appeared on the show wearing a black dress to promote her documentary film titled Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, which follows her journey with lupus as well as her mental health struggles. 

Selena said she started filming the documentary around seven years ago.

‘We kind of went through all the different phases of my life from getting diagnosed and doing all the things that I had to go through,’ Selena said. ‘Not going to lie, I can’t watch it. To be honest, I was scared to release it, but knew that being honest and being completely transparent was what I wanted to be known for. I don’t want to be an unattainable thing. I want people to know that it’s not just you and that they’re not alone.’

Jimmy, 48, asked her about going to White House and meeting with President Biden and the First Lady to discuss mental health issues.

‘That was just a conversation,’ Selena said. ‘I hope that there is more that is going to be happening. But it was really incredible to be there with a bunch of young people discussing mental health and the crisis that we are in.’

She previously shared her apprehension about releasing the documentary earlier this month while holding a Q&A.

She admitted to hosts Benji Pasek and Justin Paul that she hesitated releasing the doc because she was ‘so nervous’ to lay bare her struggles to the world.

‘I’m just so nervous. Because I have the platform I have, it’s kind of like I’m sacrificing myself a little bit for a greater purpose,’ she explained.

Despite her apprehension, the documentary hit the Apple TV+ streaming platform on November 2 and has received positive reception from fans and critics.
