Multi-platinum producer DJ Snake has joined forces with pop
superstar Selena Gomez for a bilingual
and breathtaking new single called “Selfish Love.” Accompanied by a video from award-winning
filmmaker Rodrigo Saavedra, “Selfish
Love” is the second collaboration between the French DJ/producer and Gomez, who
appeared on his four-times-platinum, chart-topping, record-breaking smash hit “Taki Taki” in 2018.
"With the whole world being separated
from each other I kept looking and working only on pure good vibes. I wanted to
make music for the world and mix all my favorite influences of afrobeat, Latin
music, something that felt grounded and organic. Selena and I had been talking
and after “Taki Taki” we had to give the world another round with fresh summer
vibes. Something that made it feel like summer the first time you heard it.
“Selfish Love” came very naturally for us and I think it’s the perfect
evolution for our history together." – DJ
Snake on the release of “Selfish Love”
The first new music from DJ Snake since
last summer, “Selfish Love” showcases his one-of-a-kind skill at fusing genres
and styles, bringing the bouncy rhythms of Latin pop to his boundary-pushing
electronic production. With its dreamy textures and delicate saxophone tones, the
track centers on a beautifully bittersweet vocal performance from Gomez, who
drifts from Spanish to English and back again with both incredible grace and plenty
of raw emotion.
Also featuring Ozuna and Cardi B, “Taki
Taki” premiered in September 2018 and soon became one of the most-streamed
songs in Spotify history. It also reached No. 1 in sixteen countries across the
globe, while its visual emerged as one of YouTube’s most highly viewed music videos
of all time.
