Does Selena Gomez’s Song “Ring” Hint That Justin Bieber Previously Proposed to Her? Here’s Why Some Fans Think So
Selena Gomez‘s song “Ring” stands out from the others on her third studio album, Rare. While most of the album contends with the singer’s journey to self-discovery and growth, “Ring” seems to draw inspiration from her personal life.
According to some interpretations, “Ring” is about Justin Bieber. But does it mean the pop star once proposed to Selena Gomez?
Does the meaning of Selena Gomez’s ‘Ring’ suggest Justin Bieber proposed?
Selena Gomez’s album Rare arrived in January 2020. Immediately, social media took notice and began dissecting the meaning behind each of the 13 tracks included on the album.
Gomez earned praise for being raw and transparent in each one of her songs. At the same time, others were busy trying to figure out which tracks were about her famous exes.
The consensus is that “Fun” is about Gomez’s ex The Weeknd, whom she dated for 10 months back in 2017.
Seeing as though this song centers around a fun, not-so-serious relationship she once had, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to assume this song is all about the “Can’t Feel My Face” crooner.
But what is “Ring” about? The evidence suggests it’s all about Justin Bieber.
In this track, Gomez opens up about embracing self-confidence and loving herself as she calls out an ex for not seeing that she is, in fact, a prize.
While the song’s message has been embraced by many, this isn’t the only reason why “Ring” is the track everyone’s been talking about on social media.
After listening to the song, many are now certain that it’s all about Gomez’s romance with Bieber, whom she was in an on-and-off again relationship with from 2010 to 2018.
One popular theory suggests “Ring” reveals Bieber popped the question to Gomez at one point during their relationship. Fans also think that after Gomez turned down his proposal, Bieber decided to keep the ring and used it to propose to Hailey Bieber in July 2018.
“Justin bieber really proposed to @haileybieber because Selena rejected and also proposed to her with the same ring. Couldn’t even buy her a new ring?” one fan tweeted.
“So did Justin really give Hailey Selena’s ring,” another fan asked.
Some think Gomez still has an effect on her famous exes
While fans continue to flood Twitter with this theory, others are certain this song isn’t about Bieber or any ex popping the question to Gomez.
Instead, some believe that this track is about the songstress having each one of her exes still wrapped around her finger—like a ring.
“People believing ring was about justin but the song is about selena having everyone around her finger like a ring, the queen won again,” one fan tweeted.
“SELENA SOUNDING SEXY AS F*** IN RING AND KNOWING THAT SHE GOT EVERYONE WRAPPED AROUND HER FINGER IS SO POWERFUL,” another fan wrote.
Whether or not these theories are, in fact, Gomez’s song proves that she has definitely come out on top after the heartbreak she’s been through.
