"I’m not going to be able to change my voice. I vaped nicotine a lot. Nicotine is so hard to quit, and I think I just wanted to say, if you’re going through it, or if you’re even trying to vape, it’s just not worth it. It’s so stupid, and it’s changed my voice," Gomez said.

The singer went on to address listeners, saying, "So if you guys don't like listening to my voice, that's totally understandable. I don't mind. Just don't listen to it."
