Selena Gomez is back with her latest single titled "Single Soon". This marks her first solo release since her song "My Mind & Me", which was from the soundtrack to her EMMY-nominated documentary of the same name. This up-tempo electronic pop track has an infectious melody with a catchy chorus. Hard-hitting production is by Cashmere Cat and Benny Blanco, both of whom Gomez has collaborated with before. Gomez has been teasing both the song and video for a few weeks, so it's satisfying to hear it officially.
The track opens with Gomez singing catchy melodies to a quickly introduced chorus. The chorus has an infectious appeal that hooks you into the rest of the song. The best part of this track, the post-chorus, has an even more catchy and lighter vocal to help drive the message. Production-wise, the instrumental really helps elevate the delivery of the track as a whole. The drums and beats on this song hit the second it starts and are addictive in nature. This song was very well produced and has this 2016 type of pop design to it. This design is refreshing to hear years later and sounds clean and not dated, unlike other tracks that have tried this formula in recent months. Single soon is an entertaining track to enjoy for the final months of summer.
The lyrics on this track are straightforward. Gomez sings about becoming "Single Soon" and breaking off a relationship. She demonstrates how she is over being in one and wants to have fun. The production really helps the fun and carefree narrative Gomez and the other collaborators on this track are trying to demonstrate. With lyrics like "I'ma date who I wanna,
Stay out late if I wanna, I'ma do what I wanna do" Gomez is in full control and wants to enjoy a carefree reltonship-free lifestyle.
Gomez stated on social media platforms that this track will not be a part of her album SG3 and will be a stand-alone single for the summer. She released this project under Interscope Records and is expected to drop her 3rd album with the label in late 2023 or early 2024.
