Everyone gear up! Our queen Selena Gomez just dropped a new song, ‘Single Soon’ and OH MY GOD, I kid you not people we have got our new anthem. The dance number celebrates the carefree and beautiful feeling of being single, be it something you are planning in the near future. ‘Single Soon’ by Selena Gomez provides a contemporary take on embracing singlehood. The song’s lyrics delve into the anticipation of breaking up and the excitement of returning to single life. The very title ‘Single Soon’ encapsulates the sense of impending liberation.

The lines “Should I do it on the phone?” and “Should I leave a little note in the pocket of his coat?” indicate the struggle and contemplation that often comes before ending a relationship. 

At its core, the song perfectly portrays the spirit of singlehood as a celebration. The repetition of lines like “I’m picking out this dress, Trying on these shoes” highlights the freedom to rediscover oneself and indulge in self-care after a relationship. The chorus, “I’ll be single soon,” exudes an aura of optimism, emphasizing the excitement of what’s to come post-breakup rather than dwelling on the past.

Moreover, the lyrics “I’ma date who I wanna, Stay out late if I wanna” assert the independence that comes with being single. They remind the listener that being single allows one to have agency and make decisions without needing to consider another person. In admitting, “I know I’m a little high maintenance, But I’m worth a try,” Gomez touches on self-worth and confidence, two essential facets of embracing singlehood because people always remember you are not asking for too much, maybe you are asking the wrong person. Overall, this new banger by Selena Gomez captures the essence of modern singlehood, it is not about loneliness, but rather about rediscovering oneself, enjoying freedom, and celebrating life on one’s own terms.

Last Thursday, August 17, Gomez lit up Instagram with news of her upcoming album and the launch date for a fresh track. “Y’all have been asking for new music for a while. 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. SINGLE SOON. August 25th. Pre Save it now,” and thus we got the new song. Selena shared some behind-the-scenes snaps from the making of ‘Single Soon’. Though her last album ‘Rare’ came out in 2020, she did surprise fans with a Spanish EP, ‘Revalación’, in 2021 but for us Selenators that ain’t enough duh.  

Eagerly awaiting more hits from Selena? Well, so are we! Until then, jam out to ‘Single Soon’.
