The Meaning Behind the Lyrics of Selena Gomez’s New Song, “Single Soon”
Selena Gomez has gone from a Disney darling to a high-powered singer, actress, and mental health advocate. In August 2023, she dropped her newest music, a single from her upcoming album. The song, “Single Soon,” is a marked transition from her previous soulful ballads.
“Y’all have been asking for new music for a while,” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.”
“Single Soon” was highly anticipated, as Gomez had not released new music since “My Mind & Me” (2022). The singer also made waves in the early 2020s with her pointed songs about her past relationship with Justin Bieber, including “Lose You to Love Me.”
However, “Single Soon” shows Gomez moving in a new direction—a happier, more carefree version. After a public breakup with Bieber and opening up about her battle with lupus and bipolar disorder, Gomez is leaving her “sad girl ballad” era behind. “Single Soon” is the first hint of her new music and the direction that it’s heading. So what is the meaning behind the song, and why does it have Gomez’s fans buzzing?
