Background and release

In February 2025, Gomez and Blanco announced their collaboration project, I Said I Love You First.[2] They released the lead single, "Call Me When You Break Up". During their interview with Interview Magazine on February 14, they hinted at a first single titled "Younger and Hotter Than Me.".[3] On March 20, Gomez announced the song's release, along with its music video and the album via her social media.[4]

Music video

On March 21, 2025, "Younger and Hotter Than Me" was released for download and streaming, accompanied by its official music video, directed by Jake Schreier.[5]

The video opens with Gomez in an abandoned studio, surrounded by dust-covered sets from her past. She wakes up in a space eerily similar to her Wizards of Waverly Place living room and wanders through the lot, haunted by memories.[6] Passing a High School Musical-style set filled with dancing teens, she feels the weight of time. Blanco joins her briefly for lunch, but as he leaves, it's clear—Gomez remains stuck in a world of child stardom, long after everyone else has moved on.[7]
