In a recent interview, Gomez said that she first fell in love with Rema’s song “Runaway” and has been following his music ever since. She also said that she was impressed by Rema’s demeanor when they met, and that she “just wanna take care of him.”
Gomez and Rema collaborated on the remix of Rema’s song “Calm Down,” which was released in February 2023. The remix was a hit, and it helped to introduce Rema’s music to a wider audience.
In the interview, Gomez said that she was drawn to Rema’s “humbleness” and “gratitude.” She also said that she believes he is “a star” and that he deserves all the success he has achieved.
She said, “I actually fell in love with the song ‘Runaway’ before I fell in love with ‘Calm down.’ I literally was a fan of his. But it [remixing ‘Calm Down’] was all like kind of his idea.
“When I met him, I honestly was so impressed by his demeanor, how humble and how grateful he is for every moment. And, I just couldn’t pick someone else who deserves all this success in the world. He is so kind. I don’t know, I just wanna like take care of him [laughs].”
