IT'S HERE. Selena Gomez's collaboration with Marshmello "Wolves" is FINALLY. HERE. After much anticipation from Selenators and the Mellogang, "Wolves" has officially been released into the world.

Fans have been waiting for this song to drop ever since it was revealed that Selena and Marshmello had a song together, even before we knew the title or any details. This week, Selena had teased fans with the single's cover art, some behind-the-scenes photos of her and Marshmello, and even released the "Wolves" lyrics the day before the song came out. 

In a radio interview, Selena recalls how the song came about. She explains that she had been talking to Andrew Watt (otherwise known as watt), who she has known for years -- he also worked with Selena on her Kygo collab "It Ain't Me." She says:

"This was a song that I heard in Japan for the first time, and I was talking to Andrew Watt, who is one of the writers I've worked with for years. And actually just played a rough version, and I thought it was really beautiful. He sent it to Marshmello, and we ended up talking. We created a really cool tone and a story with it, and the song is very beautiful and personal. The lyrics just have a whole story of [their] own. Weirdly at the same time, I was working on it in Japan, I was going through stuff too. So it's mirrored everything."

And in an interview via text with Official Charts, Marshmello described Selena as "sweet" and that they ate popcorn when they hung out, as adorably depicted by the below picture. He also described the song with this emoji: 😍.

In "Wolves," Selena sings about all that she's going through for love. "I've been running through the jungle/I've been crying with the wolves/to get to you, to get to you/I've been down the darkest alleys/Saw the dark side of the moon/to get to you, to get to you."
