Selena Gomez sings in Spanish on her new single “De Una Vez.”
“This is the beginning of something I’ve wanted to explore for so long,” the 28-year-old pop star explained, in an Instagram post. “I hope you love it as much as I do.”
“De Una Vez” is out exactly a decade after Gomez tweeted: “Can’t wait for y’all to hear the Spanish record. It’s sounding so cool.” (Gomez retweeted the throwback this week and joked: “I think it will be worth the wait.”)
While “De Una Vez” is Gomez’s first official Spanish-language single, it’s not the first time fans have heard her sing in Spanish. In 2010, she recorded “Un Año Sin Lluvia” – a version of the Selena Gomez & the Scene track “A Year Without Rain.” In 2014, Gomez covered “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” by her late namesake, Tejano singer Selena, as well as “Más,” a Spanish version of the 2009 Selena Gomez & the Scene song “More.”
Gomez is also featured with Cardi B and Ozuna on DJ Snake’s 2018 track “Taki Taki.”
Gomez is one of seven songwriters credited on “De Una Vez.” Listen to it below:
