The singer expressed that taking up, and being a part of the peppy song, with the widely loved girl band, made her a little “nervous”, as she said: “It is something that’s stepping out of my zone a little bit, but it was just the best time.”

Talking about Black Pink, Gomez said: “I have so much respect for them, their work ethic and how much they put into what they do is pretty remarkable. So kind of seeing the crossover has been really interesting at the same time for both of us. Each of us got to go into that world together.”

The music video for the compelling candy-coated tune, which will appear on the K-pop group’s upcoming full-length album, was viewed close to 100 million times within 24 hours of its August 28 release on YouTube.

“It’s definitely a joyful thing. Being a part of it brought me joy. It’s hopefully what everybody else will get from it too. I just want people to feel good. I have a 7-year-old sister, and just to see her dancing to it — she hasn’t been able to go to school, and just seeing how much fun it can be, it was such a highlight,” she told.
