Gomez revealed in April 2019 that she was working on new music. After teasing her fans on Instagram with photos of her as a child and now, she announced on October 18, that a single titled "Lose You to Love Me" would be released on October 23. The song debuted at number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 36,000 copies sold in its opening week after just two days of tracking. It debuted at number one on the Digital Songs chart and number 20 on the Streaming Songs chart. The song's number fifteen debut is also Gomez's second best debut on the Hot 100 chart after "Good for You" debuted at number nine in 2015. In its second week, the song ascended to number one, becoming Gomez's first number-one song in the US and her highest charting single on the Hot 100, surpassing the number five peaks of "Good for You" and "Same Old Love". The song led Billboard's Streaming Songs chart, accumulating 38 million US streams in one week. It also became the best selling song of the week digitally, topping Billboard's Digital Songs chart. Taking 10 years and 10 months from her first appearance on the chart, Gomez completed the longest wait to reach the summit since Daddy Yankee, who reached number one in 2017, after 12 years and nine months. The song also became Gomez's first top five hit in the UK, reaching number three and her first number one in Ireland.
