Selena Gomez<\/a> channeled her best friend Taylor Swift<\/a> as she revealed her wishes to re-record one of her past songs.<\/p>\n

This week, the former Disney star, 33, admitted she cried\u00a0listening back on one of her songs that she recorded when she was a teenager.<\/p>\n

On Thursday’s podcast episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane<\/a>, she reflected on the time she performed with her band as Selena Gomez & The Scene from 2009 and 2012.<\/p>\n

Before going solo, she made three studio albums with the group, including one of her favorite songs she’s ever made \u2014 Who Says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘It’s the most powerful moment when I get to perform it,’ she said while talking about the lead single off of the group’s 2011 album, When the Sun Goes Down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the same podcast episode, Gomez also recalled how she and Taylor Swift became close friends through bonding over their breakups<\/a> with their famous ex-boyfriends back when they were all teenagers.<\/p>\n

Gomez, who has not gone on tour since 2016, added: ‘That’s honestly the only reason I would ever do a tour again \u2014 to perform Who Says.<\/p>\n

‘I need to redo it. I should recut it,’ the Only Murders in the Building star continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also said that she would want to re-record the track because she sounds ‘young’ on the original recording.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I would have to take it down an octave from each year I’ve sang it,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gomez also said the song still resonates with her as she recalled how she recently heard Who Says playing on the radio while she was abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When she heard it, she said she started getting emotional.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I was like, “Why the f*** am I tearing up to my own song?” But it was because it was the little me who was there saying these really powerful messages that I still need to hear.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

She admitted:\u00a0‘That’s a very weird feeling considering back then I loved the song simply because I thought everyone could relate to this.’<\/p>\n

‘But I still so appreciate that song because I relate to it in a totally different manner,’ she continued.<\/p>\n
