Selena Gomez has been on a hiatus of sorts over the last four years since releasing her album Revival in 2015. She canceled the latter part of her 2016 tour to take care of her health, seemingly going off the grid for a few months.

Gomez has released a few songs throughout those four years, but mostly as a feature in songs like “Wolves” with Marshmello, “Taki Taki” with DJ Snake, Ozuna, and Cardi B, and “I Can’t Get Enough” with benny blanco, Tainy, and J Balvin. She’s kept busy as an executive producer on the controversial Netflix show 13 Reasons Why which has been renewed for its fourth and final season.

In September 2017, the singer revealed on Instagram that she had undergone a kidney transplant, with Grown-ish star Francia Raisa donating her kidney. Last month, Gomez surprised fans by dropping two new singles, “Lose You to Love Me” and “Look At Her Now,” with “LYTLM” becoming her first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. And now, the singer/actress has officially announced her highly-anticipated comeback album.

You can now preorder my new album, out January 10, 2020. This album is my diary from the past few years and I can’t wait for you to hear it. Title, art and track list coming soon. ❤ https://t.co/eCVHEDaA0P pic.twitter.com/e1LA3yUQ2W

The album, temporarily named SG2 until there’s an official title, will have 13 songs on the standard album, while the deluxe edition will have 18. The official title and tracklist will be announced soon. The album is available to pre-order/pre-save now, with multiple bundles available on Gomez’s official online store.

The album will officially release on January 10, 2020. Currently, there is no word on a tour, but Gomez has expressed a desire to be on stage again and meet her fans, so there’s no doubt we’ll hear talk of it either shortly before or after the album’s released.
