Selena Gomez Surprises Fans with Release of Lost Track ‘Stained’

March 24, 2025 — Selena Gomez has just gifted her fans a major surprise: the release of a previously unheard track titled “Stained.” The song, which had been tucked away in the archives for years, finally sees the light of day, giving listeners a glimpse into a raw, emotional side of the singer.

Gomez announced the track’s release via her social media platforms, writing, “This one’s been sitting with me for a long time… it didn’t fit on an album, but it’s always been special. So here’s Stained, just for you.”

Produced during sessions for her 2015 Revival era but ultimately shelved, Stained carries the signature vulnerability Gomez is known for, blending moody pop production with lyrics about lingering heartbreak and self-reflection. The chorus swells with lines like, “Your memory’s stained on me, like ink I can’t erase,” evoking themes of scars left behind by past relationships.

Fans have already flooded social media with praise, calling the track “hauntingly beautiful” and “a hidden gem worth the wait.” Music critics are also taking notice, applauding Gomez’s willingness to revisit and share an unreleased piece of her journey.

With this surprise drop, Selena Gomez continues to cement her reputation as an artist unafraid to show her most authentic self. Whether or not this signals more unreleased material on the horizon remains to be seen, but for now, Stained offers fans a reflective, heartfelt addition to her discography.

“Stained” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
