Selena Gomez makes her long awaited return to the pop world this week, with the unveiling of her brand new track “Single Soon” – a fun, flirty and empowering pop bop, that serves as Selena’s first solo musical release in almost a year.
Produced by Benny Blanco (Britney Spears, Rihanna) and Cashmere Cat (Kanye West, The Weeknd), the fun “end-of-summer” song finds Gomez in a place of transition – as she trades heartbreak for happiness, following the demise of a long-term relationship.

Taking inspiration from the iconic Sex and the City episode where lead character Carrie Bradshaw is broken up with via a post-it, the songs accompanying music video, directed by Philip Andelman (Zayn, Gwen Stefani, James Bay), opens with Gomez writing a note that reads: “I’m sorry, I can’t, don’t hate me” and leaving it on the desk of an ex-lover.
From there, the star gets glammed up to go on a night out with friends to celebrate her impending freedom! Along the way, the gang partake in a spot of karaoke, dance in the back of a limo, and raise a glass to new beginnings at a fancy dinner.

As she continues work on the follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2020 album “Rare”, Selena is keeping herself busy with appearances in the third season of Only Murders In The Building, and hosting her first Rare Impact Fund Benefit on October 4th.
The event will be held in Los Angeles at Nya Studios, with all ticket proceeds supporting the Rare Impact Fund – a non-profit organisation that aims to “maintain openness regarding mental health stigma and provide education to enquiring youth worldwide”.
