LOS ANGELES, USA: Pop icon Selena Gomez has once again opened up about her mental-health journey, spotlighting the healing power of music in her life and encouraging others to embrace sound as a therapeutic refuge.
In recent interviews, Gomez described music—both creating and listening—as “the best therapy,” a place where she can process the turbulence of emotions, make sense of hidden fears and nurture her resilience. For her, music isn’t just a career; it’s a lifeline.
Battling conditions including lupus and bipolar-diagnosis-related stress, Selena has regularly credited traditional therapy, meditation and mental-wellness rituals for keeping her grounded. But now, she emphasises that when words fail, melodies and lyrics can fill the space. Through her foundation, Rare Beauty’s Rare Impact Fund, she channels this belief into action—providing access to mental-health resources and encouraging creative outlets as part of emotional recovery.
Gomez’s message strikes a chord with her millions of followers: healing doesn’t always require exotic solutions. It can begin with pressing ‘play,’ strumming a chord or simply listening with intention. She urges people to treat music as a safe harbour—where vulnerability becomes strength, and rhythm becomes respite.
In a world brimming with mental-health campaigns, Selena’s authenticity and lived experience reinforce an enduring truth: sometimes, tuning into our feelings through song is as vital as talking about them.
