Selena Gomez debuts song 'Who Says,' misses Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber's main squeeze, debuted her song "Who Says" during "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" on Tuesday, calling it a message to the "haters" who try to bring her down.

In the self-empowering, sweet-as-candy track, the 18-year-old actress sings about being happy to be herself, saying, "I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me."

"I think this song is such a great message for my fans, and it really touched me when I heard it, and I thought it would be perfect for them," Gomez said.

Her public relationship with the highly swooned-after Bieber has continued to make her fodder for haters online. Just last week, after leaving her boyfriend's birthday bash with a fat lip, fans were quick to take to Twitter about the incident.

"I feel like my fans need this song, especially with Twitter and Facebook it's really negative for me ... within that world is such easy access to people's feelings," she told Seacrest. "You can get a thousand wonderful comments but just one will throw you off and that's how it is with me."

She'll soon be ending her four-year run on Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place" before headlining her own tour, which she called "a big G-rated rave."

"['Wizards'] has given me my core fan base. I owe a lot to Disney Channel, I really do," she said. "But I feel like it's been my high school, so I think it's time to graduate."

Even though Gomez sings about not being perfect, Seacrest still called her out on her Disney-darling image, in addition to her very public response to Bieber's "I miss you" tweet.

"It's nice to miss your friends and family," she said, straight-faced, after a short giggle attack.

Mmmhmmm. Let us know what you think — of her response and her song.

Just because people don't like a person's song, product,etc. doesn't mean that they're haters. It just means they don't care for the person's music, product, etc. or just plainly don't like it...we don't hate the person. Get real!

She has been getting a lot of hate comments. Not sure why JB fans are rude and a bit crazy....talk about being a bit too obsessive. They are young let them be. I have read many rude comments about Selena, most of them are b/c she is dating JB not b/c of her acting or her music.

@Didi -- Christie D'Zurilla here from MOG. You should see the hateful comments we do NOT publish. It's sometimes scary.

hey i think selena gomez is perfect and shouldn't let her fans let her down because there is so many people that like her and the people that are saying bad things about you are jealous and i think that you should keep up and not let anything put you down you make everybody happy and put all your heart to your fans and thats what matter most.people shouldn't get into your personal life because it nothing they should be know about and i know people will intrude. you will have a very successful career ahead of you and there wont be any problem. i love you selena

she is so fake, she so does not deserve him...they have been together for so long now and she still does not admit it and calls him a "dork" or "little"...selena if you like him do not be afraid of saying it out loud...stop faking it cause it is making you look ridiculous in front of your fans eyes...be real...life is to short to be somebody else...
