Selena Gomez released her new album Rare today, and the 13-track LP features the Liza Owen co-written “Cut You Off.” The empowering beat-driven breakup song deals with self-love and moving forward, as Gomez sings “The truth is that I think I’ve had enough / Emotionally messing with my heat / I just cut you off.” Owen took to Instagram describe the single as “about an a**hole boy who shall not be named and our super empowering baby is finally coming out.”

 

Additionally, Billboard noted, “The most sophisticated and lyrically astute moment on the album, ‘Cut You Off’ is more than just a song about letting go of a toxic partner; it feels symbolic of the growth that Gomez has undergone since 2015’s Revival. It’s mature and timeless, the descending chord progression and guitar solo blusey and the melody lightly playing with soul.”

 

Liza Owen’s previous releases include her single “Room Full of Boxes” plus collaborations on Gryffin and Carly Rae Jepsen’s “OMG,”  The Underachievers’ “Nightmares & Dreams,” and BTS’ “Airplane pt.2.”
