Selena Gomez’s Guess You Could Say I’m In Love keeps its distance while letting something close enough to name.
Released as part of the I Said I Love You First deluxe LP, the track moves softly, produced by Benny Blanco with guitar and backing vocals from Greg Gonzalez of Cigarettes After Sex.
His presence threads a shoegaze influence into the sound, adding reverb-soaked textures that blur under Gomez’s voice.
The song opens with: “Have I told you how I feel lately?”
There’s no setup, no buildup. It drops the truth without waiting for a reply.
“Guess You Could Say I’m In Love” by Selena Gomez is about telling someone you love them before they’re ready to say it back.
The next lines unfold like a hesitant offering: “I believe that love is real, take me / To the edge until I’m yours, I’ll wait.”
She asks for closeness, even as she stands at the edge of commitment. There’s no demand in the lyric—just the patience to wait for love to meet her halfway.
In the chorus, Gomez repeats: “I guess you could say I’m in love.”
It’s not a loud declaration. It’s something she says quietly, maybe more to herself than anyone else. The line holds a softness, as if she’s testing how it feels just to admit it.
Greg Gonzalez’s verse answers with his own interpretation: “Like a hero in those old movies / Like a pretty pin-up girl always.”
His voice mirrors her tone, weaving a dreamlike quality into the duet. The lyrics don’t press for narrative—they float in images, tracing love through the lens of longing, idealization, and nostalgia.
Further lines carry quiet resistance: “I don’t wanna cry no more / I don’t wanna lie no more.”
Here, the song shifts. It moves from confession toward a desire for peace, a letting go of hurt without erasing it.
Gonzalez’s guitar playing keeps the atmosphere delicate, drawing from shoegaze textures that layer softly without overwhelming the vocals. The song’s production stays minimal, choosing subtlety over build.
The song encapsulates the essence of handwritten words that drift across a muted background, echoing the song’s understated tone.
Fans have connected the track to Gomez’s history of vulnerability in love, though she leaves the story open, never attaching names or specific details.
By the outro— “Ooh / Guess you could say I’m in love.” —the repetition feels like an acceptance. It doesn’t push for answers. It lets the feeling exist as it is.
Guess You Could Say I’m In Love doesn’t try to resolve love’s uncertainties.
It stays within them, allowing the listener to sit in the quiet space between knowing and waiting.
