Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber both released two of the best albums of 2015, and within a few weeks of each other. (Who hasn't had Revival and Purpose on nonstop repeat at all hours of the day?) But while each singer wrote and recorded their songs with their own teams, they're still exes, and it's hard to ignore the idea that some of the songs on each album could be about the other. (Justin, for his part, admitted that at least three of the songs on his album were about Selena.)

But what would they sound like if they were on a song together? No, not the leaked song that hit the internet earlier this year, but perhaps Justin featuring on "Hands to Myself"? Or Selena chiming in on "Sorry"? Well, Troye Sivan is here to show you exactly what that sounds like...sort of.

The 20-year-old Australian appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night, and offered a toned-down mashup of the two hit songs. "Is it too late now to say sorry / because I'm missing more than just your body" and "can't keep my hands to myself" might seem to be contradictory messages, but we have one question for that: Troye, what do you mean?

How Many Songs On Justin Bieber’s Album Are About Selena Gomez?

After months of questionably sincere apologies and unquestionably great bangers, the resurrection of
Justin Bieber is officially complete.

                                                   Def Jam / Schoolboy

Thanks to an unexpected EDM makeover, teen pop’s most noxious bad boy is back and he sounds better than ever. While his long-awaited fourth album, Purpose, doesn’t quite reach the euphoric heights of his pre-release singles, it’s a sure-footed release that suggests the Biebs might just make the transition to adult stardom after all. A remarkable feat considering, well, everything that has happened in the three years since his last album, Believe.

While Bieber is clearly trying to transcend his tabloid persona on Purpose, he’s only marginally successful — you’ll probably forget about that time he pissed in a mop bucket, but you definitely won’t forget about his relationship with Selena Gomez.

In fact, you’ll probably be more interested in #Jelena by the end of the album’s standard edition. Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images
The singer will only admit that three songs on Purposeare about his on-again, off-again relationship with Gomez, but that number seems ~suspiciously low~ for an album filled with reconciliation pleas and songs about love gone awry.

1. “Mark My Words”
The album opener is the first of many apologies. The fluttery, R&B-inflected track finds the singer begging a long-suffering ex to reconcile. “So you heard it all before,” he acknowledges in the first verse before declaring, “I won’t let me lose you / and I won’t let us just fade away.” It’s so obviously about Bieber’s relationship with Gomez that even he had to admit as much during a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres.

2. “I’ll Show You”
This EDM ballad is clearly about the perils of fame, not the ups and downs of a relationship. “Don’t forget that I’m human, don’t forget that I’m real,” Bieber sulks in the chorus. “Act like you know me, but you never will.” Take that, haters!

3. “What Do You Mean?”
While Bieber denied involvement with the #Jelena Easter egg in the “What Do You Mean?” lyrics, the pop star did confess to Ellen DeGeneres that the song had its roots in his relationship with Gomez.

4. “Sorry”
Initially, Bieber explained this tropical-house apology as “a kind of the stamp in the end of the apologies that I’m giving to people, to the media.” That didn’t stop speculation that the song was actually intended for Gomez, specifically. Ultimately, he conceded that’s at least “a little bit” true during an appearance on The Ellen Show.

5. “Love Yourself”
On the one hand, Gomez has “love yourself first” tattooed in Arabic on her back. Additionally, the acoustic, guitar-driven song was co-written by Ed Sheeran, who was also rumored to have had a short fling with Gomez. On the other hand, this song isway harsh. “My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone”? Ouch! While this song is petty AF and doesn’t necessarily jibe with Bieber’s public declarations of love and respect for Gomez, the fact that she has a “love yourself” tattoo seems like too big a “coincidence” to ignore.

6. “Company”
This one is easy — “Company” isn’t about Gomez or #Jelena. It “ain’t that serious.” Instead, the song is a surprisingly fun banger about hitting on a stranger at a club. Bieber is pretty slick with the girl he’s chatting up, even if he didn’t catch her name: “Just wanna have a conversation,” he sings. “Forget about the obligations / Maybe we can stay in touch.”

7. “No Pressure” (featuring Big Sean)
This is a tough call. A lot of the lyrics in “No Pressure” sound like they could be about #Jelena, but then, in the second verse, he tells his ex that he thought she was only “in it for the paper.” Which, OK, Gomez obviously has her own money and doesn’t need Bieber’s. Is it a sign that the song is about a different girl? An oblique reference to the fact that the public’s interest in their relationship had financial benefits? Unclear! But, given that it’s one line and the singer continues to talk about wanting to reconcile with Gomez, we’re gonna say this is probably a #Jelena song.

8. “No Sense” (featuring Travis Scott)
Bieber misses an ex. His life doesn’t make sense without her. “It ain’t the same when I’m without you,” he sings. “Been around a million stars / None of them shine brighter than you”? Gomez is a star. She shines bright. Case closed.

9. “The Feeling” (featuring Halsey)
In a lot of ways, this song plays like the “he said” to the “she said” of Gomez’s songs “Sober” and “Outta My Hands (Loco).” Common themes include not being sure if you’re on the same page with your partner, confusing chemistry and real feeling, and just being an emotional disaster.

10. “Life Is Worth Living”
There definitely seem to be references to #Jelena in this song (“Relationship on a ski slope / Avalanche comin’ down slow / Do we have enough time to salvage this love?”), but, ultimately, the song is about Bieber turning to his faith during a difficult period of his life.

11. “Where Are Ü Now” (With Skrillex and Diplo)
Five years ago, baby Biebs would occasionally play a piano ballad called “Where Are You Now” at his live shows. Back then, he told the New York Times that the song was about his dad. However, 2015’s “Where Are Ü Now” doesn’t share a lot in common with the original version; the only overlap is the question “Where are you now?” The final version of the song could, theoretically, still be about his dad, but the romantic overtones make it seem much more likely that the song evolved to be about an ex who did a real number on his heart — i.e., Selena Gomez.

12. “Children”
First things first, this song — which opens with Bieber asking “What about the children?” — is not about Gomez. More importantly, this song — which opens with Bieber asking “What about the children?” — is not about the legions of ridiculous commenters who implore the singer to “think of the children” every time he steps out of line. Instead, it’s a blandly zippy Skrillex banger about inspiring the next generation to do…something.

13. “Purpose”
It’s never been a secret that Bieber is a practicing Christian, but lately he’s been especially open about his faith. This delicate piano ballad reiterates what he’s said in the press: He wouldn’t have gotten through the last few years if it weren’t for his relationship with God.

Selena Gomez Is Done With Your Questions About Justin Bieber, Thank You Very Much

 

Selena Gomez at 103.5 KISS FM's Jingle Ball 2015on Dec. 16, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois.

"What I would love to be printed is that I am so beyond done with talking about that, and him"

Remember that time video footage surfaced of Justin Bieberserenading Selena Gomez with “My Girl” in a hotel, prompting a lot of are-they-back-together speculation? Well, we’ll likely never get the full story behind the encounter, because Gomez is no longer talking about her ex in interviews. Over it. Finished. Dunzo. As she recently toldRolling Stone, who inquired about the aforementioned clip: “Honestly, what I would love to be printed is that I am so beyond done with talking about that, and him.”

This is great news for anyone who thinks it would probably be quite boring, if not outright humiliating, to be asked about someone you dated as a teenager every time you wanted to talk about your work. Selena Gomez getting asked about Justin Bieber over and over again is to 2015 what Emma Stone getting asked about the Spice Girls over and over againwas to 2014: all parties involved deserve better.

Sure, stars’ personal and professional lives often intersect, especially when one claims her new album is her most personal yet. But there are plenty of other more interesting things to ask her (and Bieber, for that matter) that don’t involve her dating history: What about her cameo in The Big Short, where she breaks down synthetic collateralized debt obligations with unexpected proficiency? (Odds that Gomez knows more about the financial crisis than you: pretty high.) Or about her new single “Hands to Myself,” which is pretty much a perfect pop song? Or literally anything else?

Personal Quotes (23)

Be yourself always, there's no one better!

I was never the girl who thought I need to make sure I look like all the other girls. I think you look best when you stand out.

I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, "I want to look like them!".

I love Katy Perry! She gave me a song for my second album.

Everyone wants songs written by Katy Perry. I asked her and she was so nice--she just said, "Yeah, you can have it". She was very kind.

I don't actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do.

For me, the person that I really admire because they came from this Disney world would be Shia LaBeouf. He had his own show on Disney Channel. He was really funny and I loved his show. Then he started to do films. Now he is doing really great films and he is respected as an actor. I really like him a lot as an actor. I think he is cute, too, so that helps. I feel that I can relate to him the most.

I'm going to be Katy Perry for Halloween. I'm going to have the blue hair and the ice cream outfit she did. It's going to be awesome.
