Selena Gomez Says Katy Perry Collab ‘Rock God’ Is One Of Her ‘Favorite Songs Ever’

What’s better than one of our favorite artists rocking a stellar new song? How about TWO of our favorite artists rocking a stellar new song? For her just-released album A Year Without Rain, Selena Gomez went to great lengths to get Katy Perry’s song “Rock God” on her latest EP.

“Katy Perry gave me a song called ‘Rock God.’ It’s one of my favorite songs ever,” Selena told MTV News of the tune, which also features Katy’s backup vocals. “I actually had to fight for that song. I wanted it so bad. It’s kind of funky, and I think I used her style and we kind of mixed it up with the producers that I worked with with my style, so we made it a little bit more techno.”

Though Selena knew Katy from industry events, she didn’t mix business with pleasure when it came to asking Katy for the fun, funky song. “We actually have the same music agent, so whenever she’d have concerts and stuff, I’m a huge fan, so I definitely would go to most of her shows. And I’ve seen her at a couple of events, so I’ve talked to her,” Selena explained. “But when it came to music, I didn’t want to get in personally. I was like, ‘I’ll ask through the proper channels and see if she’ll give it to me,’ and she was thrilled, so I was happy.”
