![]() ![]() ![]() The song has moved my heart deeply as someone who’s a longstanding fan of the singer and who struggles with such mental health dilemmas every day. “It’s hard to talk and feel heard when you always feel like a burden / Don’t wanna add to the concern, I know they already got / But if I pull back the curtain, then maybe someone who’s hurting will be a little more certain they’re not the only one lost / Yeah I’m constantly tryna fight something that my eyes can’t see.” Selena Gomez for “My Mind and Me” via Apple TV+/ Interscope Records & Universal Music Canada ![]() And all of the crashing and burning and breaking, I know now / If somebody sees me like this, then they won’t feel alone now,” Gomez belted out the chorus adorned with her charismatic vocals as she chronicles the battles with herself and an intangible force she can’t see. “My mind and me, we don’t get along sometimes / And it gets hard to breathe, but I wouldn’t change my life. “Wanna hear a part to my story? I tried to hide in the glory/ And sweep it under the table, so you would never know,” Gomez asks in the first verse, encouraging us to follow her journey and hold a deeper look into her mind behind her glamourous, incandescent life. Although the motivation for the song stems from Selena’s own life experiences and her mental health journey, there is something about it the way it’s jotted down that it will speak to you if you have ever walked down that dark lane alone. The slow-burn track that encapsulates the essence of her documentary alludes to the singer’s battles with her own mind and body - including a stay at a mental-health facility fighting with depression and anxiety, a lupus flare-up that entailed a kidney transplant, and a bipolar diagnosis. ![]()
