From sitting and sobbing to contemplating his own mortality,Benny Blanco’s showers have it all.

The Grammy-nominated producer, 36, pulled back the (shower) curtain his unconventional bathing rituals while answering couple questions with fiancéeSelena Gomezin aTikTokfilmed behind the scenes of their cover shootInterviewmagazine’s March issue.

When asked who of the pair — whohave been dating since 2023— takes the longest showers, Gomez, 32, immediately pointed to the producer, who not only accepted her answer, but explained why he spends so much time under the hot water.

“OK, I might not get to shower every day, but when I do, when I feel like I deserve it, I’m in there for so long contemplating life,” Blanco explained. “I sit down in every shower I go into.”

But he doesn’t just relax and ponder during his self-care time — he also uses it as an emotional release of sorts.

“Have you ever cried in the shower? It’s incredible,” Blanco toldInterviewbefore turning to his singer fiancée.

“Do you cry in the shower?” the producer asked Gomez, who responded with a hearty laugh. “Sometimes you just have to have a good cry,” he added.

And that’s not all — Blanco also revealed that another staple of his shower time is a phenomenon he has dubbed “death realizations.”

“No, like, I realize I’m gonna die, but it’s in the shower,” he explained as Gomez, in response, raised the question cards to cover her face. “And then I cry about it a little bit, and then it goes away, and then I feel great because I’m … the warm water."

And, cutting himself off of shower talk, he concluded, “OK, next question.”

Sharing his own philosophies about self-care, the producer told PEOPLE in the November issue, “Don’t stink. Do all the stuff.”

Blanco also told PEOPLE that he does not “believe in always shampooing” (or conditioning) his hair. “I’m really clean, but I don’t shower every day,” he said at the time. “Some people I know shower two to three times a day, but I feel like the oils on your skin don’t have time to rejuvenate and get juicy.”

As for his preferred scent — post-shower or otherwise — the producer said he likes “to use a hodgepodge.”
