Selena Gomez - The Making of ‘Single Soon’ (Vevo Footnotes)

There’s a new breakup anthem on the block, and it’s Selena’s unfairly infectious “Single Soon.” Written “seven years” ago, according to Selena, this summer one-off sparkles with the mature pop gleam of her ‘Rare’ album. Talking to Footnotes, the singer told us how she “held onto” releasing this one until now because the lyrical content “didn’t really match” her artistic (and personal) headspace back then. “Now I can relate to it,” she revealed. Among other things, the ‘Sex and the City’ superfan commented on the video’s Easter Eggs and that adorable opening voicemail from sis. Plenty of talk about the new album near the end too…

Lyrics

Should I do it on the phone?
Should I leave a little note in the pocket of his coat?
(Yeah)
Maybe I’ll just disappear
I don’t wanna see a tear
And the weekend’s almost here

I’m picking out this dress
Trying on these shoes
Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
I know he’ll be a mess
When I break the news,
But I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon

Ima date who I wanna
Stay out late if I wanna
Ima do what I wanna do

I’m picking out this dress
Trying on these shoes
Cause I’ll be single soon

I’ll be single soon
I know I’m a little high maintenance
But I’m worth a try
Might not give a reason why
(Oh well)
We both had a lot of fun
Time to find another one
Blame it all on feeling young

I’m picking out this dress
Trying on these shoes
Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
I know he’ll be a mess
When I break the news-
But I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon

Ima date who I wanna
Stay out late if I wanna
Ima do what I wanna do

I’m picking out this dress
Trying on these shoes
Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon

Yeah, I’ll be single soon
Yeah, I’ll be single soon
Yeah, I’ll be single soon
Yeah, I’ll be single soon

I’m picking out this dress
Trying on these shoes
Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon

I know he’ll be a mess
When I break the news
But I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon

Ima date who I wanna
Stay out late if I wanna
Ima do what I wanna do

I’m picking out this dress
Trying on these shoes
Cause I’ll be single soon
I’ll be single soon
