In this quarantine, Selena Gomez made many people feel identified with her, with the release of her single Boyfriend, which emerged during a conversation with her friends (and co-writers) Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter. The interesting thing is what the interpreter shared in the lyrics, from the moment she currently lives.
It wasn’t really an inspiration, but let’s have fun. Julia texted me saying, ‘What’s the vibe today? How is your mood?’. I said, ‘I don’t know, I want a boyfriend.’ I just expressed it because right now, I’m excited for the future, I don’t know… I’m open to it
Said Selena, who shared the creative process that lived to introduce its audience this new sound bet: “We wanted it to be very simple, but also had a flow rhythmic, you do want to move your head from side to side. It also addressed the fact that I don’t need anyone in my life.”
Selena’s romantic story is not the luckiest, with her constant breakup with Justin Bieber, who ended up marrying Hailey Baldwin, causing her depression, or even being related to Zac Efron and in 2019, to Jennifer Aniston’s ex, Justin Theroux.
But through music, Selena explained that she is ready to leave all those bad feelings in the past and wants to give love a new opportunity, in addition to that with Boyfriend she is also fulfilling the dream of helping many people to go through this difficult time that is lived due to the pandemic.
“Literally a week before quarantine, the music video was already made, we were ready. I even had doubts about everything that was happening, but I think it gave many people joy and it’s also fun. It’s a song that makes people feel happy and, I don’t know, fun and sexy, “Gomez concluded.
