"This song is actually about a best friend that I have in my life so it’s not about anything that you think it is," she revealed, putting the romance rumors to rest.

The trio also filmed a music video for the song, selfie-style, which featured the girls rolling around on a bed and lip-syncing into a phone.

"Thank you for letting me in on your magic. It is the sweetest." Gracie wrote on X.

"Seriously had the BEST time making this song and video with these two!" Selena gushed on Instagram.
