Selena Gomez announced her new Spanish-language single, “De Una Vez,” on Thursday, sharing the long-awaited music with her fans across the globe.
“De Una Vez disponible ya. Este es el comienzo de algo que durante mucho tiempo había querido explorar. Espero que te guste tanto como a mí,” she wrote on her Instagram page. “De Una Vez is out now. This is the beginning of something I’ve wanted to explore for so long. I hope you love it as much as I do.”
Selena spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe about the song’s release. She opened up about how learning to be “patient with my choices” during the pandemic lockdown led to her being able to embrace the Spanish-language project.
“This has been something I’ve wanted to do for 10 years, working on a Spanish project, because I’m so, so proud of my heritage, and just genuinely felt like I wanted this to happen,” she said. “And it happened, and I feel like it’s the perfect timing. Just with all the division in the world, there’s something about Latin music that globally just makes people feel things, you know?”
“What’s funny, is I actually think I sing better in Spanish,” she continued. “That was something I discovered. It was a lot of work, and look, you cannot mispronounce anything. It is something that needed to be precise, and needed to be respected by the audience I’m going to release this for. Of course I want everyone to enjoy the music, but I am targeting my fan base. I’m targeting my heritage, and I couldn’t be more excited… I just hope that people understand how much I put my heart into this, and how amazing I feel about it.”
Gomez also hinted that her third album will be a “Spanish record.”
