Selena Gomez teases new version of Kill Em With Kindness after emotional Instagram post

Los Angeles - Selena Gomez is releasing a new version of Kill Em With Kindness

The singer - who turned 24 last week - shared a snippet of the stripped-back track with her fans on Twitter and promised to reveal the full version soon.

She wrote: "Did this on my birthday... coming soon. Thank you for all the love. I love you guys, God bless (sic)."

This comes after Selena claimed she needed to "rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally". 

Selena took to Instagram after her gig in Jakarta, Indonesia on Friday, which was also her birthday, to explain that she is planning some major changes. 

She included a screenshot of a message from her iPhone notes app, which read: "Tonight I felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music. I've never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn't happened. I'm stagnant, I stay still and don't just sit with myself first and ask, 'Is this where I am, whole heartedly?' I've always told the truth. I'm always true to my word, I've shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally. Had to get that out."

Selena captioned the screenshot: "Not being negative about anything I've done. I'm grateful for every single moment I get here - Indonesia you were LOUD and clearly inspiring. Love you so much."

And earlier on stage, Selena got emotional before performing the new version of Kill 'Em With Kindness

She said: "The next song, before I go home, is a song that's so important to me. Because I get really frustrated, I get stupid sometimes, I say things that I don't mean. Or that come out wrong just because I care so badly.

"But the thing is, at the end of the day, no war in anger was ever won. I do know that deep down in my heart that I have to believe that we can love each other and always be kind no matter what it takes in us. I believe that we can do that, no matter what."
