Selena Gomez is a multi-talented artist, not only has she released several albums, featuring her hit songs such as 'Come & Get It', 'Lose You to Love Me', and 'Let Somebody Go' with Coldplay, she's also an actress and producer.

Now, the Only Murders In The Building actress has revealed that she could be set to retire from music after releasing her next album. The singer was speaking on the SmartLess podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, where she admitted she'd like to concentrate on one thing.

Via Deadline she told the hosts: "I started having a lot of fun with music and then touring was really fun. But I was doing my TV show at the same time (Wizards of Waverly Place) and I just found it really fun so I just kept going but the older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on."

Also opening up about her mental health, Selena explained: "I went to a mental institute and canceled one of my tours. It just got to me because I love working and it distracts me from bad things."

Confirming that she's not quite ready to retire from music she admitted: "I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting."

However, when the hosts of the podcast told Selena that she didn't have to choose, she replied: "You’re right, but I am going to want to chill because I’m tired."

Over the years, Selena has appeared in a number of TV shows, including Barney & Friends, Wizards of Waverly Place, and Only Murders in the Building, she has also served as an executive producer on the Netflix hit 13 Reasons Why, Selena + Chef and Only Murders in the Building, amongst others.
