Pop sensation Selena Gomez is set to release her latest dance track, “Single Soon.” The upbeat anthem is a celebration of independence and finding happiness while flying solo. Scheduled for release today, August 25, the track promises to resonate with fans who have experienced heartbreak or loneliness.
Gomez, known for her chart-topping hits and candid discussions about mental health, shared her inspiration for the song. “I wrote this song about being okay with being single,” she stated. “It’s about finding your own happiness and not needing anyone else to complete you.”
The accompanying music video, which debuted on Thursday night, showcases Gomez in a glittering pink dress as she dances the night away with friends, embracing the joys of singlehood. The chorus, “I’m pickin’ out this dress / Tryin’ on these shoes / ‘Cause I’ll be single soon / I’ll be single soon / I know he’ll be a mess / When I break the news / But I’ll be single soon / I’ll be single soon,” encapsulates the liberating essence of the track.
Adding a personal touch to the video, Gomez’s 10-year-old sister Gracie Teefey opens with an endearing message, reinforcing the theme of empowerment and self-assuredness. “Hi. Love you, sissy. Never worry about boyfriends. At all,” Teefey’s voice is heard saying.
“Single Soon” is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a reflection of Gomez’s journey to embrace her own identity and self-worth. The artist has been transparent about her struggles with mental health and self-esteem, and the song is her way of connecting with listeners who may be facing similar challenges.
“I hope this song makes people feel good about themselves,” Gomez expressed. “It’s important to remember that you’re not alone, and that you deserve to be happy.”
“Single Soon” is the lead single from Gomez’s upcoming album, anticipated for release later this year. The album is expected to delve into her personal life and relationships, offering fans an intimate and introspective glimpse into Gomez’s world. As fans eagerly await the album’s release, “Single Soon” stands as a testament to Gomez’s growth, resilience, and commitment to uplifting others through her music.
