Rare, the 2020 album from singer, Only Murders in the Building actress, and entrepreneur Selena Gomez, is one of my go-to pump up albums. From singleness to confidence to heartbreak, she touches on so many aspects of being a woman. Every time I play it, I always end up in a better mood than I was before.
If you've been consuming Rare Beauty like there's no tomorrow and listened to "My Mind and Me" on repeat since it dropped, then you've probably also been awaiting any news on Selena Gomez' new music. Well, today is our lucky day: a third studio album is coming!
Is Selena Gomez recording a new album?
Yes! Selena confirmed on her Instagram that she is making new music. And on December 7, she seemingly confirmed that the album will release February 2024. We can't wait!
Selena Gomez' New Music
Selena has been in Paris filming Emilia Perez alongside Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofia Gascón, but confirmed this week on her socials that she is also recording new music. In a post that features her sitting in a recording booth, she says "don't worry guys, it's coming. Even from Paris. 😉"
In addition to her Revelación EP, and features on Rema's "Calm Down" and Coldplay's "Let Somebody Go," Selena gave us another track in 2022: "My Mind & Me." The track was released alongside her Apple TV+ documentary of the same name, and is a much slower and ultra-vulnerable look into her mental health.
“I felt super connected to what I was singing and what I was saying,” she told Variety in December of 2022. “Honestly, it was therapeutic for me.”
“Once we had the overarching concept of feeling at odds with your own mind, the song just kind of wrote itself," said Amy Allen, who served as a collaborator on the song. "It felt like a dream session because it’s so rare for a song to come out so naturally.”
Like so many forms of art, songwriting has given Selena a way to process her emotions and figure out how she truly feels about a situation: “In a way, it saved me from having to talk again about all this stuff that I was feeling...I think being honest and coming from that place turns out always the best music.”
What is Selena Gomez' next single?
On August 17, Selena Gomez announced on Instagram that, she's giving us a new song! "Y’all have been asking for new music for a while. 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," the singer says in the caption. Aside from being excited about her new single, some fans are speculating the polaroids in the announcement Instagram post could be a hint at a 1989 (Taylor's Version) feature 👀.
If you've been waiting to stream "Single Soon," the wait is now over! It's available on all streaming platforms - plus you can preorder the vinyl that'll ship September 29, 2023!
Fans began speculating that the song could be about Selena's ex The Weeknd, but on August 27, she debunked that theory when she commented on Hollywood Life's Instagram postabout the theory. "Couldn’t be more false," she says in the comment.
In addition to releasing the song, you can watch the official music video for "Single Soon" below.

Decked in a dazzling outfit that's perfect for girls night, Selena makes breaking up look and sound like the perfect way to end a summer romance that's fizzled.
Singing "I know he'll be a mess when I break the news. But I'll be single soon," over a pulsating beat, Selena just created a celebratory breakup song that I'll have on repeat.
What's on Selena Gomez' third album?
We don't have an official track list yet but according to @ThePopTingz on Twitter, Selena Gomez' new music will reportedly sound similar to Good Girl Gone Bad by Rihanna. Considering Selena is such a big fan (so big of a fan, apparently, that itgets in the way of her love life), it makes sense that Rihanna might influence her music!
Selena's new album reportedly sounds “modern and with more dance and EDM influence.” She also confirmed sad melodies will be nonexistent on this album. During her interview with Tony Fly and Symon on SiriusXM Hits 1 LA With Tony Fly and Symon, she said, "... It just doesn't match where I am anymore, and I live in sad-girl music world."
What is Selena Gomez working on now?
Selena just wrapped filming on Only Murders in the Building season three, and is currently filming Emilia Perez in Paris. The upcoming album will be Selena's third studio album.
When did Selena Gomez release a single prior to "Single Soon?"
Selena Gomez released "My Mind & Me" on November 3, 2022, alongside her Apple TV+ documentary of the same name.
