Cover to Cover: I Said I Love You First by Selena Gomez & benny blanco

This week Across the Couch, we're stepping into our pop culture era with our first-ever music review—and what better way to kick it off than with Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s new album, “I Said I Love You First.”

Meg shares why this album hit deeper than expected—calling it the album for every girl who’s ever felt the weight of comparison—while Blue breaks down the standout tracks giving main character energy, heartbreak, and just the right amount of mess. We’re talking emotional lyrics, chaotic bops, and the ones that made us want to scream-text our exes.

We unpack the tracks that stuck with us, the ones that surprised us, and why this album feels like a grown, vulnerable chapter for Selena. Plus, we drop our top picks—and spoiler: “Call Me When You Break Up” might’ve just become our shared anthem.
