Julia Michaels has released a new song about "Anxiety" featuring Selena Gomez.
The stripped-down track arrives a year and a half since Michaels' hit track "Issues". Since then, she has attracted Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Song of the Year, as well as appearing on tracks with Maroon 5, Rita Ora and Shawn Mendes.
Michaels previously worked with Gomez when she co-wrote several tracks for her 2015 LP Revival.
"I'm happy that I have the outlet to talk about it and help people feel not so alone in the way that they feel," she told Billboard.
"I think there are still a lot of people who feel like they're not allowed to feel that way, or they supress it because they think it's a taboo thing to talk about. This generation is just becoming way more emotionally evolved, and it's something that we should talk about."
Gomez promoted the song on her Instagram page, writing: "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. You're never along if you feel this way. The message is much needed and I hope you guys like it!"
