AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez has yet to release her new track "Wolves", but some Selenators have already started speculating what the song would be about. They think that the song, which will be released on October 25, would be an ode to her struggles with lupus as wolves means lupus in Latin.

The "Bad Liar" singer posted on Instagram the cover art of the single on October 23. She captioned it with a part of the song lyrics, "I've been running through the jungle, I've been crying with the wolves." Following the post, some fans are questioning whether or not the lyrics are references to the hardship that she had to face while battling the disease.

I've been running through the jungle, I've been crying with the wolves... 10.25

Seeing that the cover art features stars and constellations, some fans point out that the name of the constellations may be Lupus. A fan writes on Twitter, "Lupus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the second century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains one of the 88 modern constellations."

Moreover, fans say that the timing is perfect for Selena to release a track about the inflammatory disease. This is because the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star has revealed that she wanted to share her journey on one of her Instagram posts, which showed Selena lying in bed while holding hands with her best friend Francia Raisa. She received a kidney transplant from the actress at that time.

She wrote, "I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery."

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.
