While Selena Gomez hasn’t revealed what inspired her to compose the new track, fans are convinced that it was written about her on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber. 

“Set fire to my purpose and I let it burn, you got off in the hurtin’ when I wasn’t yours,” Selena Gomez sings in the song, seemingly referring to Justin Bieber's 2015 album Purpose. Then in a later verse, Selena Gomez gets more specific: “In two months you replaced us like it was easy, made me think I deserved it in the thick of healing”, referring to Justin getting together with his now-wife Hailey Baldwin soon after their breakup.

Selena Gomez talks about Lose You to Love Me

Selena Gomez spoke about the album on the Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. Speaking about the same, back in June, she said, "I have to do a few finishing things with it, but I'm just relieved. It took me four years now to even feel at a good place with this album, and it's just because I had such huge moments that happened in my life personally that 'how was I going to capture that?' And how was I actually gonna feel good about what I was saying?"

"I want people to feel hope and to know you will come out the other side stronger and a better version of yourself", she added.
