Songstress Selena Gomez has revealed that her split from teen pop sensation Justin Bieber helped her to focus on her career.
The 21-year-old singer, who ended her relationship 'Never Say Never' hitmaker early last year, said her painful breakup motivated her to re-evaluate and come back with pop hit 'Come & Get It', reported Contactmusic.
"I questioned the way I looked, acted, sang, and wrote. I started becoming very stale with my music, and I realised that I was doing things for other people. Then I turned 20, went through a really bad breakup, and realised I needed to pick up everything.
"I needed to have 'Come & Get It' be amazing. I wanted it all to be me. I was tired of feeling defeated. All this time, I was trying to figure out why I felt like such an underdog, and I finally realised I just wasn't ready. I'm glad it's taken me this long to get where I am because now I am ready for it," she said.
