Now, Selena has opened up about when her highly-anticipated new album SG3 is dropping. With that in mind, here's everything we know so far about SG3 including the release date, tracklist, title, producers and so much more.

When is Selena Gomez releasing SG3?

Fans of Selena Gomez will already know that she's been hard at work on her new album since 2021. In May of that year, she shared a photo of herself from in the studio wearing an "SG3" bracelet. In the time since, Selena's teased multiple glimpses of her recording music on social media with promises that it's coming but we may have to wait a little longer.

When Selena released her one-off song 'Single Soon' in August 2023, she said: "Y’all have been asking for new music for a while. Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer." She also told SiriusXM at the time, "We're nearly wrapping up the album."

However, Selena has now released a new song called 'Love On' and she's told Billboard that both 'Single Soon' and 'Love On' might not even be part of SG3. She said: "I would like to say that I am working towards an album, but I don’t know if those songs would be on that project."

Selena added: "I feel like I’m brewing and I’m in the process of really creating some great songs, hopefully. I don’t know if they would fit with what I’m gonna go with."

Elsewhere, Selena told Rolling Stone that she "hopes" the album will come out in 2024.

Will SG3 be Selena Gomez's last album?

In recent interviews, Selena has hinted that she will take a break from music after SG3. Speaking on the Smartless podcast in January 2024, Selena said: "I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting." When the hosts argued that Selena can do both, she said: "I am going to want to chill because I’m tired."

She added: "I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else. I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories. I love being able to make songs."

Selena has since clarified with Rolling Stone: "I love film. I love TV. I just feel like I haven’t done a lot of the things that I want to do in that space. It’s not that it’s ‘no, never’ [to music], it’s more that I would like to explore that world a bit more."

Whether or not Selena does fully take a break from music after SG3 is yet to be seen.

Why does Selena Gomez call her fourth album SG3?

Selena has already released three solo studio albums, and that number increases to six if we include her projects as part of Selena Gomez and the Scene. So why is she calling her upcoming album SG3?

Well, fans will already know that Selena also called Rare SG2 and considers Revival her first album because it was her first project with full creative control.

Kiss & Tell, A Year Without Rain, When the Sun Goes Down and Stars Dance were all released with Selena's Disney label Hollywood Records and Selena had less input in them. So, while Selena still appreciates many songs from those four albums, she considers Revival to be her first project as an artist.

Who has Selena Gomez worked with on SG3?

As it stands, Selena has remained tight-lipped about who she's worked with on SG3. However, Justin Tranter posted a video of him in the studio with Selena and Julia Michaels in 2022. Justin and Julia have previously worked on huge Selena songs including 'Good for You', 'Hands to Myself', 'Bad Liar' and 'Lose You to Love Me'.

Elsewhere, it's possible that Selena's been in the studio with her boyfriend Benny Blanco ('Kill Em With Kindness', 'Same Old Love', 'Single Soon'). She's also been spotted working with Fred Again but it's unclear whether or not she's been working with him for his projects or her own album.

Selena made 'Single Soon' with Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat and 'Love On' with Julia Michaels and The Monsters & Strangerz.

What is Selena Gomez's SG3 tracklist?

Selena Gomez is yet to reveal any of the song names for SG3 and it's possible that 'Single Soon' and 'Love On' will not be part of the album. Nevertheless, she has teased that the album is an uplifting and uptempo project.

Speaking on SiriusXM in August 2023, Selena said: "There's not one sad song on my album. I genuinely didn't have anything in me to write something negative. It just doesn't match where I'm at anymore."

What is SG3 called?

There is no word on the title of SG3 just yet. Selena's past three projects have all started with the letter R (Revival, Rare, Revelación). Whether or not she continues that pattern is yet to be seen. We will keep you posted with any updates.
