Days after the mural paintings of Selena Gomez’s Spanish songs in Mexico went viral, the singer announced her new Spanish song called ‘De Una Vez’ and without wasting any time, she also dropped it on the internet a few hours later.

Taking it to her official Twitter account in a series of tweets, the 28-year-old songstress first announced it with an official poster with the caption, “De Una Vez Sparkles Esta noche. Presave ahora. // Tonight. Presave Now. http://smarturl.it/DeUnaVezPresave.” In the next tweet, she simply wrote, “This is the beginning of something I’ve wanted to explore for so long. I hope you love it as much as I do.” In her third tweet, the ‘Rare’ hitmaker shared a short video snippet and captioned it: “De Una Vez disponible ya. Este es el comienzo de algo que durante mucho tiempo había querido explorar. Espero que te guste tanto como a mí. // De Una Vez is out now." 

Release date

Selena Gomez’s brand new Spanish single ‘De Una Vez’ hit the internet on January 14, 2021.

Concept

‘De Una Vez’ is the singer’s first song in Spanish since 2018 ‘Taki Taki’ and her first solo Spanish-language project since 2014 ‘Más', from her album ‘For You'. The official music video of ‘De Una Vez’ features Gomez in a pink floral dress teamed up with a crown of flowers and a glowing immaculate heart, as she makes her way through an old-fashioned house that's full of colorful memories and magical symbolism. The singer lends her beautiful voice to the song in Spanish, where she sings, “It doesn't hurt like before, the wounds have healed / I'm stronger alone / I have no regrets about the past, time with you cut my wings / I'm cured from you.” 

Speaking about the song in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the multiple award-winning crooner said, “This has been something I've wanted to do for 10 years, working on a Spanish project, because I'm so, so proud of my heritage, and just genuinely felt like I wanted this to happen. And it happened, and I feel like it's the perfect timing. Just with all the division in the world, there's something about Latin music that globally just makes people feel things, you know?” 

What's the buzz?

Gomez is a social media queen and enjoys a global fan following and therefore, when she dropped her new single, the internet went bonkers. A lot of social media users rushed to Twitter to express their happiness. One fan said, “Popular Opinion: Selena Gomez is getting better and better every time has come back.” Another expressed, “De Vna Vez isn’t just a song it’s a cultural reset, it’s the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. it’s art, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted.” One fan shared, “congratulations dear selena i love your new song and video is really beautiful congratulations you sing so beautiful in the spanish language omg this is art. I am so proud of you, I love you very much.” 

Continuing talking about the song, one said, “The De Una Vez music video by Selena Gomez gave me Rosalia Di Mi Nombre vibes. Love the song though.” Another added, “@selenagomez you have no idea how meaningful this song is to me already. you've done post-breakup songs before but it never hit harder as this one did, honestly, you showed a truth i wasn't able to see for myself. thank you for being apart of my life, i'm so proud of you.” One elated fan posted, “IS IT JUST ME OR YALL ALSO CANT STOP WATCHING THE MV ???? NO BECAUSE I ALREADY WATCHED IT LIKE 100 TIMES IM SO PROUD OF SELENA.”
