The comment was Gomez’s response to a post predicting her new song would soon enter the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and encouraging her fans to buy the new single. “I don’t care about selling anything. I’m just happy to make music with my friends,” the singer wrote.

Instead, she’s putting on a shimmering mini dress, heading out with her friends, dancing the night away, and toasting to her freedom. A voice message from her sister confirms all she needs to know: “Love you, sissy. Never worry about boyfriends — at all.”
At the time of the release of “Single Soon,”Gomez also revealedthat she had dug up the song to hold fans over as she completes her next studio album. “Y’all have been asking for new music for a while,” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “Since I’m not quite done with SG3, I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer.”
“Single Soon” marks Gomez’s first official solo release since she shared “My Mind & Me” last November alongside her Apple TV+ documentary of the same name.
