Selena Gomez Unveils New Song Focused on Musical Joy, Not Chart Triumphs
Pop sensation Selena Gomez is shining a spotlight on her musical passion! Amid the buzz surrounding her latest track “Single Soon,” Selena is shrugging off the pressure of conquering the charts. In response to a fan’s plea for the song to storm the Billboard Hot 100, Selena gracefully shattered expectations, stating, “Broke my hand and had surgery. I don’t care about selling anything. I’m just happy to make music with my friends.”
Released on August 25, the track has ignited excitement among fans. The devoted fanbase, known as “Selenators,” is rallying behind the song’s success, urging everyone to stream and purchase it across platforms like Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music.
But hold on, let’s backtrack! This isn’t the first time Selena has clarified things. While “Single Soon” sets the ultimate summer groove, some listeners have speculated whether the lyrics allude to her previous romance with The Weeknd back in 2017.
In the song’s opening verse, Selena ponders, “Should I do it on the phone? Should I leave a little note in the pocket of his coat?” and casually drops a “And the weekend’s almost here.” That’s where the raised eyebrows come in. The Weeknd has a song titled “Save Your Tears,” prompting thoughts of a lyrical rendezvous.
Don’t worry, rumor mill! Selena quickly put a stop to it. She shut down the speculation on a post by HollywoodLife on Instagram, commenting, “Couldn’t be more false.”
For the record, Selena and The Weeknd had a fling from January to October 2017. Even after the romance ended, they maintained a friendly connection. A source spilled the beans in March 2020, saying, “Selena is a fan of The Weeknd and his music. She has no negative feelings toward him.”
Selena’s romantic history includes a high-profile relationship with Justin Bieber from 2011 to 2018. Nowadays, the pop star is embracing the single life. In a playful TikTok video shared in June, she jovially exclaimed, “I’m single! I’m just a little high maintenance but I’ll love you so much.” That same vibe resonates in “Single Soon,” with Selena singing, “I know I’m a little high maintenance, but I’m worth a try.”
More Melodies in the Pipeline
While Selena hasn’t unveiled the inspiration behind her new song, she’s hinted at more musical wonders on the horizon. Though she hasn’t confirmed any romantic connections to Zayn Malik or Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart, she’s teased fans with the promise of more musical enchantment. “Single Soon” marks her first release since 2021’s “Revelación,” ushering in the era of SG3.
“Y’all have been asking for new music for a while,” Selena shared on Instagram earlier this month. “Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.” Brace yourselves for more Selena music magic! 🎶
