Benny Blanco & Selena Gomez’s ‘Sunset Blvd’ Behind the Scenes: Watch

Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez captured a retro feel with their new “Sunset Blvd” music video, and song was inspired by the newly engaged couple’s first date.

“This song felt like such a moment in time where you’re just fully lost in someone and you’re past that point and you’re like, ‘OK, I’m not scared anymore. F— it, I’m just going to dive into this. Let myself fall into a new world,” Blanco explained in a new behind-the-scenes clip of the music video shared on Wednesday (March 19).

“I remember us in real life, we were driving in a convertible,” he continued. “I felt like a teenager again and our hair’s blowing in the wind. I made a playlist for the ride and we were dancing and singing. Just to see her face and laugh and smile. I didn’t even know we were on a date. I thought we were just hanging out as friends.”

Gomez then hilariously interjected, “I thought it was a date,” to which Blanco replied, “I’m happy I didn’t think it was a date, because I’d be so much more nervous.”

When Gomez didn’t believe him, the Grammy-winning producer sweetly told his fiancée, “Yeah, look at you! You’re beautiful.”

“Sunset Blvd” is set to be featured on the duo’s upcoming album, I Said I Love You First, which will be released on Friday (March 21). Watch the behind-the-scenes video of “Sunset Blvd” below.
