In Oct., Martin sat down with Apple Music and explained how he wanted Gomez to sing the ballad with him.
“It’s just a really lovely ballad. And quite early on, we realized it needed a female counterpart to the vocal. And we were very grateful that when we asked Selena to sing on it, she was happy to do so.”

Martin continued by explaining the importance of collaborating with different artists.
“Collaborations, in general, are something that we’ve done more of recently. We never really used to do it before it’s become more interesting for us to work with other people from different parts of the world, different genres. It just adds color and character to the music.”
Selena and Coldplay’s “Let Somebody Go” is officially my new favorite. Can’t even comprehend how many times I played the song in just an hour!
