Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are giving fans an unprecedented glimpse into their relationship — both personal and professional — with the release of an exclusive short film titled I Said I Loved You First. The project, named after their collaborative album, is part of Vevo’s acclaimed Extended Play series and is now available via SMG Music/Friends Keep Secrets/Interscope Records.
This special short film blends stripped-back performances with candid conversations, offering a window into the couple’s artistic synergy and emotional journey. Shot at their home in Los Angeles, the film features live renditions of “Sunset Blvd,” “How Does It Feel To Be Forgotten,” and “Scared of Loving You” — songs recorded in the very rooms where they are now performed on camera.
Unlike traditional music videos, Vevo’s Extended Play series is designed to evolve alongside the artist’s project, using existing spaces to reflect the creative heartbeat of their work. For Gomez and Blanco, this meant transforming the intimate corners of their shared home into a minimalist stage, creating an authentic, full-circle moment.
“It’s so easy for us to work together on a project because we speak the same language, both in music and personally,” Benny shares in a cozy kitchen interview within the film. Selena echoes the sentiment, praising Benny’s collaborative spirit: “You’re really good at making sure that it sounds authentic, rather than trying to mold me into something I’m not.”
The duo’s chemistry radiates throughout the film — not only through their performances but also in the quiet, supportive nuances of their conversations. Whether discussing the intricacies of songwriting or their personal growth as a couple, their dynamic feels refreshingly honest.
JP Evangelista, Vevo’s Senior Vice President of Content, Programming & Marketing, describes the project as a unique opportunity for fans to experience the genuine connection between two powerhouse artists. “We’re inviting fans into Selena and Benny’s home through this short film that includes exclusive, live renditions of their songs from the very room they were originally recorded. From the organic conversations to the intimate performances, you can really feel the love and support between these two icons exude through the screen.”
I Said I Loved You First isn’t just a celebration of music — it’s a celebration of collaboration, vulnerability, and the beauty of creating with someone you love. Through this short film, Gomez and Blanco deliver more than performances; they offer fans a rare, unfiltered look at the heart behind the music.
For fans and music lovers alike, this Vevo Extended Play short film stands as a testament to the power of authenticity — both in art and in life.
