Selena Gomez Reacts to Wizards of Waverly Place Theme Inspiring Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy"

-The last time you were here, we did... This was the last time I saw you... we did "Hot Ones." -Yeah. -And in fact we ate the spiciest wings in the world. -Good. -And I don't know if anyone saw it, but, I mean, this is... It was real. We really had the spiciest wings. -It was... It wasn't... It wasn't great... for me. -Well, it was... it was... -Like... -I mean, I was... I was crying but... -Me too. -No I know. But the best part... -Oh, no. -The best part was going backstage to see how you were after the part, because I was like... -No. -Because I was like, dude.

It was scaring me because my mouth was burning. And I'm eating bread and whatever. And I was like, "Oh, I'll go see Selena and see if she's okay." And I entered your dressing room. Do you remember? -Yes, of course, vividly. -You were vomiting in a sink. -Arrest. -You turn around and I say: "Everything will be fine. It won't be so bad." And you turned around and you had mascara all over your face. And you had drool... drool was coming out of your mouth. And you say, "Go away, go away." -Yeah. That's the prettiest version. -Yes, that is the prettiest version. -I was like... -"Get out", and that was the last time I saw you.

So I didn't know. I'm glad you're back. You are a good athlete. You are a good athlete. You have many things to do. "Dolittle." You have a voice in that movie, "Dolittle." -Yeah. -It leaves on Friday. -Yeah. -And "Rare" is now available. Finally, he came out. -I know, it's been... -I mean... -It's been 4 years, 4 and a half years, before I published anything, so... -Are you happy that it's finally out? -If I am very happy. I think so... I was holding my breath for four years and then finally I just exhaled. And now it exists. -Yeah. Now it's out there.

And everyone loves it, by the way. It's getting... It's a great album. -Thank you. -Rolling Stone loves it. "Billboard" calls you "Triumphant." "Variety" said "'Rare' is one of the best pop albums to come out in recent memory." "Time," he says, "'Rare' is a pop treat." These are great and killer reviews. -Wow. -Thank you. -Well, I love... "Lose You to Love Me" was the first thing that... the first song you released from this album. -Good. -And, man, oh, man, that was... That's a great topic. And I think everyone liked it, because they said: because it's personal. -Yeah.

I mean, I think there came a time in my life where so many things were said in my name. And I found myself protecting people who weren't really protecting me. Because I didn't want to, you know, start anything. And I... but I had the right to tell my side of this story. And I felt like it was very liberating, because I almost felt like I had let it go, personally, inside me, once it came out. And that... I mean, I think that's the greatest gift. -It's hard, right? Just do that. I mean, I couldn't imagine writing a song, just expressing all your feelings. -Yeah. -Not only was it well received, but it could be: was it one of your most important songs? -Yes it was. -It's your greatest song of all time.

That's why it's good to take risks. It feels good, you take a risk like that. -It was... I was very, very grateful. -He broke all kinds of records. So... Anyway, I'm happy the album is out. You worked on... Maybe that song with Finneas. Is that Billie Eilish's brother? -Yes, actually, he... We finished the song and we gave him the song to produce himself. And he did an incredible job. Obviously he is extremely talented. -Yes, we also spoke with him when Billie Eilish was there. And I discovered... I don't know if you know. But you have something in common with Billie.

You are an inspiration for the song "Bad Guy." But not you. -Am I the bad guy? -You're not the bad guy... no. -I'm not kidding. -The main

theme

of "Wizards of Waverly Place"... ...was an inspiration... was an inspiration for her... to get the melody. -That's... -Isn't that strange? -I love you. -So I thought maybe it would be fun to play... -I love Billie. -...to play a little bit and see if we can see... -Oh, God. Well. -...what inspired her. -Well. -Here a little bit of "Magos". -Well. -Well? -Oh no. -Yeah. ♪♪ -♪ Well, you know that everything is going to be very easy ♪ ♪ That the end will undoubtedly justify the means ♪ ♪ You could solve any problem with the slightest ease ♪ ♪ Yes, please ♪ -Oh my God! ♪ Ba, ba-doo doo ♪ -Yes. -That's something like that... right?

Here's "The Bad Boy." ♪♪ -That's great. -More or less, right? Isn't it great? -That's so cool. -This is very funny. I think that's great. What do you want people to take away from the album when they listen to it? Because you have a lot of clues here. -Yeah. -13. -I think the most important thing for me with this album is to make sure that each song, whether it's the lyrics of the production, means something and really has weight. And, you know, one of my favorite songs is "Vulnerable" on the track and... or "Vulnerable" on the album. And I think it was a way of hoping... like, hoping that I can be a voice for people who are in the same situation that I'm in, whether it's something that people struggle with mentally or relationships, friendships. .

I wanted to be as honest as possible. And all I wanted was to make people feel good. And, you know, during all the mess that's going on, I think I'm very lucky to be in a position where I can make people feel good. -Did you always know that the album would be called "Rare"? -Yeah. -You did it? -The moment we started four years ago. -Alright? -We work on "Rare". And I said, before I finished anything, I said, "This is going to be the name of my album." -Actually? -The word is so special. And it means a lot.

And I think, right now, where everyone is obsessed with feeling like they need to look the same or do things or whatever... And I mean, I... Obviously, I don't judge. I'm just saying there are some girls who are suffering because they feel like they don't fit in. But this word eliminates that, because you are not meant to look like everyone else. You are meant to be who you are, and that is unique and rare. -Great, friend. I love every thing. -Thank you so much. -Congratulations on the album. It's already out. "Dolittle" comes out Friday. Is there... is there any other?

I always feel like... Because, for me, if I release a record, if there are 13 tracks, it's probably... I mean... That's all I wrote was 13... -Yes Yes. -Maybe 10, you know? And I put two extra things in there. -Sure. -But I probably feel like a real artist. Do you have any other songs that didn't make it onto "Rare" that are already available? What are they made of? Finalized? -Maybe there are some things. Yes. There are some other songs that I couldn't help but want to exist. I can't really say when, but one of my favorite songs is called "Boyfriend." So I can't wait for people to hear that. -Wow.

That's great. I love you. It was nice to see you. Selena i love you. You are the best friend. Selena Gomez, everyone! "Rare" is now available!
