Selena Gomez has more love to share…

The 32-year-old Mexican American singer/actress and her producer-fiance Benny Blanco have announced plans to release a deluxe edition announced of their debut collaborative album, I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back, on Friday, May 2.

Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco“The deluxe version of my album with @itsbennyblanco is called I Said I Love You First…And You Said It Back and it’s out this Friday, 5/2!” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “There are some new songs, some favorites you might recognize, and reimagined songs from the original album. Can’t wait for you to hear them!”

Among the guests who join them on the beefed-up LP, according to Gomez, are GloRilla, Cigarettes After Sex and DJ Sliink.

Gomez’s announcement included a photo of the original keyhole album cover as well as a candid, casual Polaroid of the two chilling on a couch. Gomez also teased that the video for the song “Talk” will drop on Thursday night (May 1), encouraging fans to “pick out your prom outfit.”

Last week, Blanco posted a video on Instagram of the couple going to the mall to get their prom pictures taken after revealing that Gomez never got to go to her prom.

The video shows Gomez getting ready in a purple ballgown and planting a kiss on her fiancé as they do a classic walk-down-the-stairs dress reveal. In the limo ride to the mall, Blanco excitedly leans out the window of their stretch limo and tells the driver in the lane next to him: “We’re going to prom!”

In March, I Said I Love You First debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Among the guests on the first version were Gracie Abrams on “Call Me When You Break Up,” Charli XCX on “Bluest Flame,” The Marías on “Ojos Tristes” and Tainy and J Balvin on “I Can’t Get Enough.”
