Selena Gomez unveiled her second Spanish-language single, “Baila Conmigo” with Rauw Alejandro, at midnight. While her first, “De Una Vez,” lyrically focused on the beauty of overcoming heartbreak, “Baila Conmigo” captures an intoxicating first evening with someone new and the infatuation that follows.
The release of “Baila Conmigo” comes shortly after Gomez announced her upcoming Spanish EP, “REVELACIÓN.” The singer spoke to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe earlier this month about how easy it was to get into the mood of her new music while recording and singing in Spanish.

“I think Spanish came very naturally to me,” Gomez said. “So there were obviously moments where there were specific timing, there were cues that were so quick that I had to learn that were challenging, but as far as being able to say, and speak, and roll my Rs, and do all of that, that’s already in me, thank goodness. So it had its moments of being really smooth, and then just, I have a few things where I’m kind of speeding, rapping Spanish, which is cool.”
Gomez, for what it’s worth, is single and reportedly “more open to dating,” so the new song’s inspiration could be personal. In December, a source told Entertainment Tonight that “she is comfortable dating, but also comfortable being single. She’s not rushing into anything whatsoever. Selena is focusing on what makes her happy and what feels good to her—whether that’s a relationship or not.”
Gomez’s full album will come out on March 12. For now, “Baila Conmigo” is the second taste of what Gomez’s Spanish music will sound like and how the singer looks at love and relationships these days.
