No, Selena Gomez’ ‘Single Soon’ is not about The Weeknd: 6 Easter eggs from her new MV, from TikTok lyric teases to a Sex and the City homage, and even a cameo from her little sister Gracie Teefey
- As ‘Selenators’ impatiently await Selena Gomez’s fourth studio album, there’s plenty of online fan speculation about ‘Single Soon’ – a catchy pre-break-up anthem for the summer released last week
- Gomez herself commented on Instagram that it’s not about her former BF The Weeknd; meanwhile, there are many throwback moments in the video, nodding to her ‘I Want You to Know’ and ‘Boyfriend’ MVs
Selena Gomez may play an amateur detective on TV, but her fans are the real sleuths when it comes to dissecting her latest record “Single Soon”.
When the pre-break-up anthem debuted last week, “Selenators” across the internet made quick work of hunting for Easter eggs and formulating theories based on the song’s carefree lyrics and music video.
At least one of those hypotheses has since been debunked, but there are still plenty of clues to unpack throughout the catchy tune about preparing to end a relationship and looking forward to being partner-free.
“Thank you guys for all the love on ‘Single Soon’!!!” Gomez wrote Friday on Instagram. “It’s a playful anthem about being comfortable in your own skin and loving your own company … and it’s also really fun to dance to!”
While we (im)patiently await the release of Gomez’s fourth studio album, here’s a sampling of all the “Single Soon” Easter eggs and fan theories making the rounds on social media.
1. A little cameo from Selena’s little sis
The very beginning of the track features an adorable recording of Gomez’s 10-year-old sister Gracie Teefey saying, “Hi! Love you, Sissy. Never worry about boyfriends – at all.”
So young, yet so wise.
2. That football video wasn’t posted just for kicks
Remember that TikTok video Gomez posted of herself shouting “I’m single” at a bunch of football players during a night game at a park in early June? As several TikTok users have pointed out, that same video is playing on the TV at the beginning of the “Single Soon” music video as Gomez is preparing to leave her soon-to-be ex’s house.
