Selena Gomez Changes Her Mind on Songs About Ex Boyfriends

I thought Selena Gomez was not like Miley Cyrus, or Taylor Swift, when it came to writing songs about ex-boyfriends when she was quoted as saying, "I get so mad about ex-boyfriends, but if a boy hurts me, I don’t write a song about it. They don’t deserve it!" Now she’s taken to her blog to clarify that:

RUMOR CONTROL

Hey Everyone–

There was recently a quote released about me saying that I don’t write songs about ex boyfriends, I may have been misunderstood and would like to clear that up. Most of my songs are about love, I am a 16 year old teenager and I sing about what is on every girls mind. Love. What I was implying was that the songs I sing about, the boys who have hurt me or that are no longer in my life don’t deserve a song to be written about them but, that’s impossible. Writing and singing is a gateway to sharing and getting out feelings. I hope that I have cleared up any confusion I may have caused to my fans! You guys rock and mean the world to me!

Take care and God bless,

Selena

Although her message is a bit muddled, I think she is saying that some of the emotions she channels into her song writing might come from pain she had after being hurt by a boy, but the song isn’t specifically about anyone in particular. I suppose that’s still better than Miley directing a song to her ex, or Taylor doing the same. Public humiliation by writing a song about someone doesn’t seem right if it’s only out of spite, or for revenge.
