Selena Gomez's latest release, "Single Soon," is a pre-breakup anthem radiating self-empowerment.
In her freshly unveiled dance track, the acclaimed artist commemorates her independence while embracing the joy of solitary existence. "Single Soon," available for release today, August 25, is an anthem that resonates with the pursuit of happiness and self-affection amid flying solo.
In her statement, Gomez elucidated, "This song encapsulates the beauty of being content in one's singularity. It captures the essence of discovering personal happiness and recognizing that one's completeness doesn't hinge upon external validation."
The accompanying video, unveiled on Thursday evening, showcases the 31-year-old singer and actress in a resplendent pink ensemble, dancing through the night with companions and reveling in her single status.
"Culling a dress from the rack / Slipping into these shoes / 'Cause soon I'll be single / Soon, I'll be single / Amidst his turmoil, I'll stand tall / Sharing the truth / 'Cause soon I'll be single / Soon, I'll be single," echoes the star in the chorus.
The video opens with a heartwarming greeting from her 10-year-old sister, Gracie Teefey.
"Hello. Love you, sis. Don't concern yourself with boyfriends. Ever," Teefey's voice chimes as Selena is depicted contemplating her exit from her partner's abode, contemplating the forthcoming task of communicating the end of their relationship.
"Single Soon" sets forth an infectious, lively melody infused with a message that will reverberate with anyone who has encountered heartache or solitude. The song serves as a poignant reminder that embracing solitude is a declaration of worthiness, not a reflection of inadequacy.
Known for her chart-topping track "Who Says," Gomez has candidly shared her battles with mental health and self-esteem. She has underlined that "Single Soon" was conceived as a catalyst to uplift other women grappling with similar life experiences.
"My aspiration for this song is to ignite a sense of self-assurance in listeners," she shared. "It is vital to recognize that you're never truly alone, and you possess the right to happiness."
"Single Soon" marks the inaugural release from Gomez's forthcoming album, anticipated to arrive later this year. The album promises to be a personal and introspective journey, delving into Gomez's life and the tapestry of her relationships.
