Selfish Love is a bilingual pop flirtation where Selena Gomezâdrawing on her Mexican-American rootsâand French producer DJ Snake turn romantic jealousy into a playful dancefloor game. Over tropical beats and sleek sax hooks, Selena slips between English and Spanish to confess that she likes that anxious spark she feels when she imagines her partner chatting with someone else. It is the same thrill he chases when he tries to make her wonder, Does somebody else care?
Rather than a toxic tug-of-war, the song paints jealousy as spicy seasoning for a relationship that already has trust at its core. Both lovers secretly enjoy staking their claimââmarca tu territorioââbecause every twinge of envy reminds them how much they still want each other. The result is a lighthearted anthem that says: keeping the romance alive sometimes means playing a little cat-and-mouse, as long as the prize is still you and me, you and me.
