Fans are buzzing over what they believe to be Justin Bieber’s subtle response to Selena Gomez’s recent engagement to Benny Blanco. Just days after Selena shared her exciting news, the pop star took to Instagram to post a sweet selfie featuring his wife, Hailey Bieber, planting a kiss on his cheek during a getaway in Costa Rica. However, it wasn’t just the image that caught fans’ attention; it was the accompanying song that set off speculation.
Bieber paired the photograph with “All My Ghosts,” a poignant track by Lizzy McAlpine that explores haunting memories from past relationships. The emotional lyrics resonated with fans and prompted them to theorize that Bieber might be reaching out to Gomez. Notable lines from the song include references to witnessing “the wedding of the year” and feelings that linger long after a relationship has ended.
“You can see it now, when all my ghosts disappear,” one lyric reads, while another reflects, “Oh, all my ghosts are with me, I know you feel them too.” These words ignited fan discussions, with many suggesting Bieber’s choice of song was more than coincidental and could be a nuanced message aimed at Gomez.
Reflecting on this connection, one fan commented directly below the Instagram post, urging others to listen closely to the song. Another added, “Of course he was gonna post something now.” Some fans expressed disbelief at the timing of his post so soon after Gomez’s engagement announcement, further fueling the conversation online.
It’s worth noting that Bieber and Gomez had an on-again, off-again romance that spanned eight years, concluding in 2018. Last week, Gomez let the world know about her engagement, showcasing a stunning marquise diamond ring and captioning her post, “forever begins now.” Meanwhile, both she and Hailey have publicly maintained that there is no animosity between them.
Bieber’s fans have a history of connecting his music to his past with Gomez. When he released his 2021 single “Ghost,” many speculated it was inspired by his feelings for her. In discussing the song’s meaning, Bieber emphasized hope and healing after loss.
As the buzz continues, this latest incident serves as a reminder of the complex web of relationships in the celebrity world, with fans always eager to interpret the signs and lyrics that hint at deeper stories behind the headlines.
