Selena Gomez has said that she needed to sing her hit track 'Who Says'.
The Wizards of Waverly Place actress and singer released 'Who Says', the first single from her third studio album When The Sun Goes Down, earlier this year.
During an appearance on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show on Wednesday, she said: "I feel like I obviously have an amazing platform so being able to use that for songs like 'Who Says' is really amazing. More than anything, I needed that song because to me it was really empowering.
"I'm going through the same things with all the stuff on the internet and everything. It's one of those songs that makes you feel good and it's really affected my fans and that makes me feel really good."
Gomez also admitted that although she tries to ignore negativity on the internet, she can still be affected by rumours that she reads online.
"I don't know everything that is being said," she told Seacrest. "I basically know the gist. I'm human and I'm 18 on top of that so it obviously affects me. I try not to focus on it but it's hard to avoid what is being said about you."
When The Sun Goes Down, which is the follow-up to A Year Without Rain, also features the new single 'Like A Love Song' and a track co-written by Britney Spears called 'Whiplash'.
Gomez is currently preparing to embark on a US tour with her band The Scene next month, which will feature a special Spears mashup as part of the setlist.
She can also be seen in the romantic comedy Monte Carlo, a mistaken identity adventure co-starring Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy, from July 1 in the US and August 24 in the UK.
