Selena Gomez says she's more than 'just sad and hurt'

Selena Gomez doesn't want people to see her as "just sad and hurt".

The 28-year-old singer has become known for speaking out about her own battle with mental health, which she also channels into her music, specifically in her highly emotional new album 'Rare'.

But now, the star has said she doesn't want people to think she's always sad, because the album was only written about a specific time of her life which is now "over".

The news comes after Selena insisted she feels "stronger" for seeking help with her mental health.
