Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco and Gracie Abrams have joined forces on their breezy new collab ‘Call Me When You Break Up’.Opening with the sound of an answering machine, Gomez takes the time to sing the lines: “Call me when you break up / I wanna be the first one on your mind when you wake up / I miss the way we’d stay up / We’d talk about forever when I’m takin’ off my makeup,” pleading for a previous lover to hit her up when they depart from their current relationship.Abrams trades verses with Gomez, singing: “Call me when you break up / I’m battlin’ the lack of us, I’ve looked for medication / Tried every obvious replacement / In bars, in strangers’ beds until my faith was in the basement,” admitting that her split with her previous lover left her down in the dumps.The song’s accompanying video sees Gomez and Abrams sing the track from a bed while recording via a vertical camera, making it feel like a video call.

At the end, Blanco shows up.‘Call Me When You Break Up’ marks the first collaboration between the trio and the second between Abrams and Blanco, who previously teamed up for 2021’s ‘Unlearn’.

The track is the second single to be released from Gomez and Blanco’s first collaborative album, ‘I Said I Love You First’, which is set for release on March 21 – you can pre-save and pre-order the album here.
