Selena Gomez says she has “one more album” in her before she fully retires from music.
“I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun,” Gomez said on an episode of the “Smartless” podcast, obtained by E! News, set to release on Jan. 7.
“But I was doing my TV show [“Wizards of Waverly Place”] at the same time and I just found it really fun so I just kept going,” she recalled. “But the older I get, the more I’m kind of like, ‘I would like to find something to just settle on.’”
Continuing, the “Only Murders In the Building” star said, “I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting. I am gonna wanna chill because I’m tired.”
The 31-year-old multi-hyphenate has released three albums since her first solo project, “Stars Dance,” in 2013.
The Disney alum’s last album was “Rare” in 2020, with Gomez acting in multiple TV shows and films all while making music.
Despite becoming a musical success, Gomez hasn’t toured since her 2016 “Revival” tour, which she canceled midway through due to mental health struggles amid her lupus diagnosis.
At the time, the “Lose You to Love Me” songstress performed 55 shows before having what her friend called a “psychotic break.”
“At one point she’s like, ‘I don’t want to be alive right now. I don’t want to live,’” Gomez’s former assistant Theresa said in the singer’s Apple TV+ documentary, “My Mind and Me.”
“And I’m like, ‘Wait, what?’” Theresa recalls. “It was one of those moments where you look in her eyes and there’s nothing there. It was just pitch black. It’s so scary.”
“You’re like, ‘F–k this. This needs to end. We need to go home.’”
Gomez was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and sought treatment at a mental health facility following the tour.
Two years later, Gomez entered treatment a third time following a mental health break.
However, since seeking treatment, she has become an advocate for mental health, speaking at a mental health forum at the White House in May 2022.
