Selena Gomez is looking for a new sound and atmosphere since her breakup with popular EDM DJ Zedd by collaborating with Grammy winning producer Hit Boy.

The singer posted a few photos from her vacation on Thursday with her close friends. Also on her private boat was producer Hit Boy, which she made a few jokes about on Instagram. The producer is reportedly working on a follow up to her hit single with Zedd, "I Want You To Know." "should probably sign to hit cause.... " she captioned their photo with her leaning on his knee. According to TMZ, the two were said to be recording "an album" at Joe Francis' (of the Girls Gone Wild fame) house. 

The producer has worked with many hip hop titans like Drake, Jay Z and Kendrick Lamar. He's also worked with Selena's other famous former flame, Justin Bieber.

Gomez hasn't been connected to Bieber recently, but has released music reflecting on her relationship with the singer. Her former Disney pal Miley Cyrus also cracked a few jokes this week when she and Selena were featured on the cover of a tabloid, with claims they were pregnant by the same man. Miley captioned the cover, "And by the same man we mean @justinbieber" she said.

Sources close to the singer shut down rumors of a romance between Hit Boy and Selena on Friday. The two decided to record tracks for her new album at the home of Joe Francis, who has a studio built in his Casa Aramara home. Hit Boy's other frequent collaborator Kanye West has also worked at the popular studio.
