Selena Gomez has always been open about her struggles with mental health, and she teamed up with her close friend Julia Michaels to record a song for people who may be fighting the same fight. “Anxiety” is one of her most personal projects to date, and it’s here to help everyone who might be experiencing it.

This powerful ballad focuses on the internal battles a person goes through when battling anxiety. Gomez is no stranger to this feeling and Michaels was one of the people who were always by her side while she fought through it.

“My sweet soul sister. Julia, you have been a huge part of my life. You have taught me how to have courage when I have self-doubt. This song is extremely close to my heart as I’ve experienced anxiety and know a lot of my friends do too,” wrote Gomez on Instagram.

“Anxiety” is featured on Michaels’ new EP “Inner Monologue Part 1”, which came out on January 24.
