Charlie Puth has praised Selena Gomez, saying her career time out was a 'great' thing to do.

In August last year, Selena cancelled her Revival tour citing "anxiety, panic attacks and depression", side effects of Lupus, which she revealed she had the previous year.  

Speaking exclusively to MTV UK while in town to promote his new single 'Dangerously', Puth spoke of his admiration for his 'We Don't Talk Anymore' collaborator...

"I think it's good and I think it's great that she was taking some time off for herself because I see it on a much smaller scale," he said.

"People kind of treating you, who are maybe not necessarily fans, but seeing you as an object and shouting things at you. Real fans won't like scream obscene things out at you but it's important to feel like a human again so I think her taking some time off is a really good thing."

He also admitted that he sometimes struggles to cope with the attention fame brings himself: "I have to do the same thing to because I can feel it getting to myself sometimes if you know…I'll be emotionally drained and kind of lifeless. So if I take like a week off and just go hiking, I don't look at Twitter every like 5 minutes, but just hit the giant refresh button."

At the AMAs in November Gomez, the most followed person on Instagram, gave an emotional speech while accepting her award for Favourite Pop/Rock Female Artist saying: 

"In 2014, this stage was actually the first time that I was authentically 100 percent honest with all of you. I think it's safe to say most of you know my life whether I liked it or not. And I had to stop. Because I had everything. And I was absolutely broken inside. I kept it all together enough to where I would never let you down, but I kept it too much together to where I let myself down."

View the lyrics
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do

I just heard you found the one you've been looking
You've been looking for
I wish I would have known that wasn't me
'Cause even after all this time, I still wonder
Why I can't move on
Just the way you did so easily

Don't wanna know
Kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do

I just hope you're lying next to somebody
Who knows how to love you like me
There must be a good reason that you're gone
Every now and then I think you might want me to
Come show up at your door
But I'm just too afraid that I'll be wrong

Don't wanna know
If you're looking into her eyes
If she's holding onto you so tight
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do

Like we used to do

Don't wanna know
Kind of dress you're wearing tonight
If he's giving it to you just right
The way I did before
I overdosed
Should've known your love was a game
Now I can't get you out of my brain
Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
Like we used to do
We don't love anymore
What was all of it for?
Oh, we don't talk anymore
Like we used to do

We don't talk anymore (don't wanna know)
Kind of dress you're wearing tonight (oh)
If he's holding onto you so tight (oh)
The way I did before
We don't talk anymore (I overdosed)
Should've known your love was a game (oh)
Now I can't get you out of my brain (whoa)
Oh, it's such a shame

That we don't talk anymore

"I don't want to see your bodies on Instagram. I want to see what's in here," she continued. "I'm not trying to get validation, nor do I need it anymore. All I can say is I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to be able to share what I love every day with people that I love. I have to say thank you so much to my fans, because you guys are so damn loyal, and I don't know what I did to deserve you. But if you are broken, you do not have to stay broken. That's one thing you should know about me: I care about people. And this is for you."
