During the interview with GQ India, Gomez opened up about the language barrier and struggles faced while separately recording the song and working together via FaceTime. “It was a learning process because the language was new but somehow our distinct styles along with their energy, we just fit together perfectly.” She continued on hyping up the girl group, “The BLACKPINK girls were so welcoming.
