Selena recently opened up about the comeback songs and how personal they are to her current emotional state.

"More than anything I think I feel a sense of relief," she said.

The singer continued, "It's been four years since I've been working on this album. It's actually perfect timing because I was going to release it two years ago and none of the words that I'm speaking would have existed.

Thank you for speaking your truth and being so encouraging and being such an example on how to handle heartbreak (and when things hit rock bottom) I have looked up to you to get through tough things in my life and I am sooooo glad to have you as my role model. Truly thank you. Thank you, thank you, please keep the faith and keep on shining and changing life’s like you have been. Thank you," a fan posted.

Fans Show Huge Support...

"I'm so PROUD of you, you're a strong and beautiful woman," another commented.

A few even addressed the anxiety and panic of the performance, "dear, i’m happy you went through with this performance because your anxiety was very high. it doesn’t matter what the people will say because you did it and everyone is proud of you, singing a personal song will never be easy especially when people call you “victim” all the time...keep your head up because you’re the one shinning while the rest crying and pretending to be happy."
