Just afterSelena Gomezdroppedher new single, “Lose You to Love Me,” Hailey Baldwin posted an Instagram Story that had some fans wondering if she was shading the singer.
On Tuesday night, Gomez, 27, dropped her highly anticipated new song as well as the accompanying music video, both of whichseemingly alludeto her on-and-off relationship with ex-boyfriendJustin Bieber, who is now married to Baldwin.
“I’m not trying to start any drama and I’ve never talked aboutHailey Baldwinbefore,” one userwrote, adding, “I’ve never believed the things that Selenators says about her until now, I mean it’s not a coincidence to post this story right after the song is dropped.”

Another user tweeted: “Selena Gomez released a song … about her life experiences [with] an ex and leaving him behind (Justin Biebernow married to Hailey Baldwin) and like 5 minutes later Hailey Baldwin posted this. It’s not the first time she’s shaded her and probably not the last.”
“Selena Gomezdropped an honest and vulnerable song roastingJustin Bieberand minutes laterHailey Baldwin[sic] posts this lmaoooooo [I need to go to bed],” a third Twitter useradded.
Bieber, 25, also shared a social media post around the same time that Gomez’s single dropped. The pop star — whoproposed to Baldwinjust months aftercalling it quits againwith Gomez in March 2018 — posted a photo of what appears to be a cheetah with part of its face covered in blood. Bieber reposted the image from an Instagram account called “Nature is Metal.”
While Gomez hasn’t revealed the specific inspiration for her new track, the revealing lyrics detail a toxic relationship, and many fansare convincedit’s about her up and down relationship with Bieber.
“Set fire to my purpose and I let it burn / You got off in the hurtin’ when I wasn’t yours,” she sings in one verse, seemingly referencing Bieber’s 2015 albumPurpose.
Then in a later verse, Gomez gets even more specific, singing: “In two months you replaced us like it was easy / Made me think I deserved it in the thick of healing.”

“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.
Over the last year, Gomez has beenposting videos and photosfrom the studio on her social media accounts, hinting at a follow-up to her2015 solo album,Revival, which debutedat No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
“I feel like the next few choices that I’m gonna make are very crucial, so I’m trying to be really, really diligent and just patient with everything,” shetold her fans earlier this year. “The album is coming very soon.”
