Selena Gomez Shares 'Wolves' Lyrics, Talks Marshmello Collaboration to Zane Lowe

10/24/2017 by Kat Bein

Following "It Ain't Me," her successful song alongside electronic producer Kygo, Selena Gomez opened up about her forthcoming collaboration with fellow dance dude Marshmello on Zane Lowe's Apple Music show.

It turns out she first heard a rough version of the song while in Japan. Andrew Watt, a songwriter she's collaborated with for years, shared it with her. Watt sent the rough demo to Marshmello, and the producer worked it into something "beautiful." From there, she hopped on the lyrics, which "weirdly ... mirrored" something she was going through in Japan. 

It's a personal piece of work she can't wait to share with fans, with lyrics like "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."

"Wolves" is scheduled for release Wednesday, Oct. 25, and Gomez and Marshmello have already teased an official video. Check the interview clip and teaser tweets below, and read the full lyrics of "Wolves" on Gomez's website.
