Selena Gomez talked candidly about her career in a new interview, sharing that she felt pressure to be sexual when she was creating her last album.

In an interview published this week in Allure , Gomez, a former Disney star, said she was pushed beyond her comfort zone while working on her 2015 album Revival and its video.

I just did things that werent really me, she said. There was pressure to seem more adult on my album, Revival. [I felt] the need to show skin ... I really dont think I was [that] person.

The album, released when Gomez was 23, featured a topless image of the star on the cover.

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest ahead of the albums release, Gomez explained that although she appears nude in the cover photo, shes actually wearing shorts.

I have these high-waisted shorts that are cut off, and it kind of reminds me of a little Linda Ronstadt 70s vibe, she told Seacrest at the time. I always used to get told I look like her and I started listening to her music because of that and I love 70s.

Gomez also told Seacrest the image was a beautiful representation of where I am.
