If, like me, you grew up religiously watching Disney after school then you know might relate to the sheer excitement when former Disney stars turned singers release new music. When Selena Gomez dropped her third solo studio album ‘Rare’ last week (after four years of a hiatus!), her fans went wild. And despite the longggggg wait, the album has lived up to its expectations and more. Rare acts as her proverbial diary for the past four years, documenting her transformation from a heartbroken girl to one who overcame her struggles. It speaks volumes to today’s generation who gain inspiration from Rare that need anecdotes of self-love, resilience and more.
In light of her album encompassing a wide range of emotions, I decided to pen down XX of my favourite lyrics that can double as captions for your latest picture on the ‘gram.
