The Real Meaning Behind Selena Gomez's Single Soon

In the chorus of "Single Soon," Selena Gomez describes picking out a perfect new outfit, "'Cause I'll be single soon, I'll be single soon," and she'll be able to go out and have fun on her own. Although Gomez is certain her boyfriend will be devastated when he discovers the end of the relationship, Gomez is celebrating her newfound, impending independence. She goes on to enthuse about her plans, singing that now that she's not tied down, she's ready to play the field and party all night if she likes: "Ima date who I wanna / Stay out late if I wanna / Ima do what I wanna do." She is planning to embrace life on her own terms now that she's (nearly) single.

Fellow singer Taylor Swift and Gomez are bestie goals, and Swift shared her support for Gomez's new single by sharing a post about it on her Instagram story, according to InStyle. Although "Single Soon" is probably not inspired by Swift's "Bejeweled," the tracks have similar themes. "Bejeweled" also chronicles going out and having fun while no longer letting your boyfriend hold you back with lyrics like: "You can try to change my mind / But you might have to wait in line."
