Featured Replies

Its catchy, its carefree and it sounded fresh at that time compared to the pop landscape. Why did it flopped?

    It's cute and forgettable, like if Robyn made music exclusively for JC Penney stores

Monotonous slop tbh. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks she has multiple 10s (LYLALS, C&GI, Slow Down, GFY, SOL, IAM, Bad Liar, etc)

I don't think people want mindless bops from Selena anymore. This, love on, in the dark all flopped even though In the dark is particularly excellent. She got her biggest success when she made a music that centered on the narrative around her and was meaningful to her story. I think that is the only way she can make waves with future music releases, it has to be actually meaningful.

As a massive fan - it's really not doing anything for her - its very faceless - and she is capable of Gosh-Tier music - Fetish , Perfect , ,Same Old Love, Me and The Rhythm,Loco etc. - Love Off - was a step in the right direction ,but also not as great. She needs to ATP - take a risk - although - there are career highlights on ISILYF.

I love the song, but don't think it had any chance at being a hit unfortunately.

Only Lose You To Love Me, Same Old Love and Heart Wants What It Wants were a success from that "meaningful" songs. LYLAS, Come and Get It, Naturally, Good For You, Hands To Myself and Kill Em With Kindness aren't meaningful to her life or at least her exposed life at all so

honestly it's just quite a weak song? her heart doesn't sound in it at all

that's been a case from her since Rare though she sounds lifeless on every song

As someone who likes and often defends Selena & thinks she has a handful of excellent songs, this was simply terrible.

no i like rare, it has some bops on it and that minimal selena sound from revival, single soon really is just a bit low effort

The way I don't see anything terrible on this. It's a fun mindless bop and you are all acting like Selena was a musical genius or sth but okay

Title was confusing. People saw it and assumed the song hadn't come out yet so they never tuned in and listened.

not the best Selena song but it's a nice lil bop, ngl

cause i'll be single soon, i'll be single soon

i also like that other song of hers. it came out after single soon iirc.

why are we out here in this big hotel bar? when we could be making out somewhere out there than here in the bar

or in the back of a car, or we could make a memoir

ah oooo-ooooh

not as good as single soon, imo. but it's nice.

The song was recorder years before but then released in 2023 with a Benny Blanco production. Releasing it in 2023 after Calm Down and Rare was a mistake but overall it's a fun unserious bop.

It was a hit compared to all the other songs that came after "single soon"

almost every atrl mod being a selena hater skull

it's bland, generic and doesn't go nowhere.

From someone who released Good For You, Bad Liar & Fetish... it felt very flat.
She's just lost interest. Let her be an actress.
