00:00Well, Selena Gomez is borrowing a phrase from my favorite baseball team.
00:05Cowboy up!
00:08That's for you, Boston.
00:10And you know that I'm joking, because I do not like the Red Sox.
00:13I was wondering.
00:14But yes, Cowboy is the lead single from her new album.
00:18Actually, it is an album she did with her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
00:22He is the producer.
00:23And the name of the album is I Said I Love You First.
00:26So very clearly, this was their-
00:28Shade on Justin, maybe?
00:30No, I think it's them speaking to each other, saying I said I love you first.
00:35Oh, okay.
00:36I got it.
00:37Yeah.
00:38No, I read somewhere today they said it was Shade on Justin.
00:39Really?
00:40Yeah, I know.
00:41I read that.
00:42Huh.
00:43I'm not sure why.
00:44I don't know either.
00:45I'm not going to pretend to know.
00:46But I will tell you this.
00:47This song, Cowboy, and the album, other songs, are very revealing about their sex lives.
00:53They're engaged to be married, and they want you to know-
00:55Everything.
00:57Ask how happy they are at home.
01:00Listen to the Cowboy.
01:17Those are the cleanest lyrics we could play.
01:21She really is more-
01:22She's more graphic in other places.
01:24She's almost like saying, okay, Sabrina, it's your move.
01:27I mean, that's what it feels like to me, kind of.
01:29Sabrina?
01:30Sabrina Carpenter.
01:31Oh, gosh.
01:32No, Selena's always been a little bit edgy, but these lyrics are the most aggressive lyrics
01:37of Selena, but she's always been a little bit sexual in her lyrics.
01:42You just have to find the undertones in it.
01:44And that-
01:45These aren't even undertones.
01:46That's the cleanest.
01:47These are not undertones.
01:48What's the part about his heart?
01:49No, I was saying you used to have to find the undertone.
01:52This one, she's just putting it all out there right now.
01:56These are intense lyrics, and you guys played the cleanest, and I'm obsessed with the other
02:00one that we can't say on TV, but they're good lyrics, Charles.
02:04Hey, Courtney, what happened there?
02:06Did you get an answer?
02:07Hold on.
02:08Charles?
02:09No, I just noticed you have a splint on.
02:10Yeah, I was playing tennis-
02:11Courtney, her wrist was hurting earlier.
02:12And something popped in it.
02:13I was playing tennis, I'm athletic, Charles, and something popped.
02:16But you can't be that athletic.
02:17So I had to go get x-rays.
02:18Hang on a second, Mr. Pickleball.
02:23Hamstring injury.
02:24It was a whole thing.
02:25So I'm going to go throw in stones, Mr. Glasshouse.
02:29Hi, my name is Denisha Adams, I'm from New York.
02:32So this is a side of Selena Gomez that we haven't seen, and to be honest, I like it.
02:36I feel like she's finally saying, whatever, I don't care what people think, I'm doing
02:41me.
02:42And people constantly put her in this category related to Disney Channel and her relationship
02:46with Justin Bieber.
02:47But they don't understand that she's human, she's evolving, she's growing.
02:51And if any other artist can do it, why can't she?
02:53Yeah, I mean, she definitely can, and she's going to be really- it's actually a good song.
02:57I kind of like it.
02:58You like it?
02:59I like the tune.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Don't you?
03:02Not my speed, but I kind of like it.
03:03We have different tastes.
