Después de un buen tiempo alejada del estudio, Selena Gomez regresa junto con Benny Blanco con el álbum I Said I Love You First. A lo largo de sus canciones, repasa recuerdos, se muestra vulnerable, habla de sus inseguridades y también de cómo ha aprendido a quererse. Hay guiños a su pasado como estrella Disney, sí, pero también reflexiones más profundas sobre lo que implica ser mujer en una industria que exige tanto. El álbum suena a diario personal. Te explicamos qué hay tras cada canción en sus propias palabras.
Todas las canciones de 'Do Yo Wanna Be Perfect' con explicación
En distintas entrevistas y declaraciones, recogidas por la cuenta de fans @_selenagomezecu, Selena ha explicado el significado detrás de cada tema. Aquí te dejamos ese recorrido canción por canción.
1. I Said I Love You First
Comentario de Selena:
"La introducción del álbum es en realidad mi último día en Los Hechiceros de Waverly Place, que por alguna razón parecía no poder olvidar. Fue la mejor época de mi vida y les prometí a mi reparto y al equipo que soñaría y esperaría hacer que se sintieran orgullosos algún día, así que de eso trata."
Letra de I Said I Love You First
I just really wanna say thank you, mm
For every single thing that everybody does in this room for me
Because I did grow up away from my family
Moving out of Texas, coming here and
All of you have raised me so many different ways and you challenged me as a person
So I, I have this launch pad you've all given me
'Cause now I can do so many wonderful things because of this
You've helped me grow up and watched me grow up
And I really hope that I won't let you down
With everything else that I do
So thank you for being a part of my life and a beginning of something I hope lasts a long time
2. Younger and Hotter Than Me
Comentario de Selena:
"Younger and Hotter está intencionalmente después de mi introducción porque refleja la presión que sufren las mujeres y supongo que las estrellas infantiles, si eso tiene sentido. Parece como si siempre hubiera algo más brillante y nuevo y no te sientes tan bien y siempre hay inseguridades que suceden y se siente realmente maravilloso expresarlo de la manera que lo hago, bebé. Si crees que la canción trata de una relación y te identificas con ella de esa manera, espero que la disfrutes, pero para mí esta canción trataba más bien de cómo las mujeres atraviesan este camino, tengan la edad que tengan. Yo tengo 32 años y aún tengo inseguridades, y cosas así surgen todo el tiempo, así que es más una interpretación de mi camino y no necesariamente de una relación."
Letra:
Waited outside your apartment
You used to come down for me
I used to feel like an angel
Now I'm a dog on your leash
Begging for more
X on my hand drawn in Sharpie
Now I use my own ID
All of the girls at this party
Are younger and hotter than me
And I hate what I wore
But I hate myself more
For thinking you were different
Wish I never loved you
We're not getting any younger
But your girlfriends seem to
Looking for something to tell you
Looking for reasons to speak
Pictures of you at the movies
Is she younger and hotter than me?
Is it all in my head?
Should have moved on instead
For thinking you were different
Wish I never loved you
We're not getting any younger
But your girlfriends seem to
Someone else
Was I someone else?
Now you are someone else
Someone else
Waited outside your apartment
You used to come down for me
3. Do You Wanna Be Perfect
Comentario de Selena:
"‘Do You Want To Be Perfect’ es solo un pequeño y lindo revuelo en el medio y soy yo siendo cursi al explicar cuánto, ya sabes, la sociedad espera que seamos perfectos todo el tiempo, pero eso es todo."
Letra:
Hi, do you wanna be perfect?
Do you wanna be sexy?
Do you wanna live up to completely unrealistic standards set by the current landscape of social media?
Oh, wow, do we have the product for you!
Now for six easy payments of only a hundred thirty-nine dollars, these
What? Hey, hey
Hey, hey, what are, what are you doing?
Hey, don't turn that off, just give me my mic
Hang on, hang on
No more of the unrealistic standards of perfect
It's so boring
Actually, just be exactly who you are
There's literally no one like you
4. Call Me When You Break Up
Comentario de Selena:
"‘Call Me When You Break Up’ fue una canción que me llamó la atención al instante. Yo, de nuevo, esta canción era algo del juego de la naturaleza. Y en realidad no es sobre una relación. Es sobre una amistad. Y es sobre cómo alguien puede estar en una relación y perder esa amistad a veces. Así que quieres recuperarla. Así que eso es en realidad una especie de giro. No creo que nadie lo supiera. Pero si se siente como si fuera sobre un novio o novia o alguien, creo que es maravilloso."
Letra:
Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message system
(Cl-) is not available
At the tone, please record your message
Call me when you break up
I wanna be the first one on your mind when you wake up
I miss the way we'd stay up
We'd talk about forever when I'm takin' off my makeup
Call me when you break up
And maybe for a time
I could have the space they take up
And make you forget what their name was
And whеn you're feelin' down
I can show you what you're made of
Call mе when you break up
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Call me when you break up
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it
I'll make it worth it (I'll make it worth it)
I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it (and maybe you could)
I'll make it worth it
Call me when you break up
I'm battlin' the lack of us, I've looked for medication
Tried every obvious replacement
In bars and strangers' beds until my faith was in the basement
Won't you call me when you break up?
I feel so outta luck
I'm skipping cracks along the pavement
Look, I'm emotionally bankrupt
We're so meant for each other
I mean, God, when will you wake up, wake up?
Call me when you break up
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Call me when you break up
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it
I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it
I'll make it worth it, I'll make it worth it (and maybe you could)
I'll make it worth it (oh, you picked up, um)
Call me when you break up
Unless you found the person that you want a new name from
I'd like to be there when that day comes
You know I'm always here, so don't ever be a stranger
5. Bluest Flame (feat. Charli XCX)
Comentario de Selena:
"‘Bluest Flame’, Charli XCX es la más genial, o sea, ni siquiera tengo que decir eso, pero ustedes saben que es la más genial de todos los tiempos. Benny ha trabajado con ella y yo tuve la oportunidad de hacerlo en 'Same Old Love' con Benny y Charli, así que estoy muy emocionada de que pudimos juntarnos y simplemente hacer un temazo, ¿saben? No hay mucho que pensar, es más como 'vamos, vamos, vamos a pasarla bien', es como 'estoy enamorada' o 'me siento emocionada' o 'amo este momento'. Es una de esas canciones que simplemente pones y bailas. Gracias."
Letra:
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Hey there
When I lay in your arms, am I there?
When I'm lost in the garden of air
You know how it feels
Body on body, it's you and me, and it's real
I don't know if I can take this
I can't hide it, I'm burning up (yeah)
Try to fight it, try to fake it
I can't hide it
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, I just wanna go all night, I just wanna go insane
Touching in the summer rain, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
Ah, never get out my mind, never get you out my brain
Wanna do it all again, hotter than the bluest flame
Hotter than the bluest flame
6. You Said You Were Sorry
Comentario de Selena:
"Ok, puede que haya mentido. Esta podría ser mi favorita de todas ellas. Esta canción era en realidad de un sueño que tuve. Me desperté de este sueño salvaje y sueño muy vívidamente. Veo colores, veo caras, lo veo todo y Benny y yo nos despertamos una mañana y le conté mi sueño. Y era más sobre un conflicto, o perdón, un asunto conflictivo que yo sentía que necesitaba resolver. Y luego, en realidad, te das cuenta de que a veces no necesitas que lo sea, a veces ser quien eres y seguir adelante es la mejor opción para ti. Pero me encanta que hayamos sido capaces de llevarlo a un mundo de ensueño."
Letra:
PCH, driving Malibu, baby
Type of love that can make a bitch crazy
He feels me up, yeah, he never gets lazy
I wouldn't leave him, huh, even if you paid me
Don't think about you
Happy without you
More now than I ever was
But I had a dream
You said you were sorry, said you were sorry
Sorry for everything
That you put on me, that you put on me
Our eyes were balling rain
We finally both forgave, yeah
I had a dream, that's all it was
That was enough for me
Ah, na-na-na, ah, na-na-na, yeah
Ah, na-na-na, that was enough for me
Ah, na-na-na, ah, na-na-na, yeah
Ah, na-na-na, that was enough for me
New flame, he could melt a damn diamond
Spell my name, see the back of my eyelids
Oh, this is love, now I get why people like it
Really like it, you should try it
Don't think about you
Happy without you
More now than I ever was
But I had a dream
You said you were sorry, said you were sorry
Sorry for everything
That you put on me, that you put on me
Our eyes were balling rain
We finally both forgave, yeah
I had a dream, that's all it was
That was enough for me
Ah, na-na-na, ah, na-na-na, yeah
Ah, na-na-na, that was enough for me
Ah, na-na-na, ah, na-na-na, yeah
Ah, na-na-na, that was enough for me
7. I Can’t Get Enough
Comentario de Selena:
"‘I Can’t Get Enough’. Por supuesto que la tengo en el álbum. Entiendo que la gente la haya escuchado, pero para mí es una especie de reflejo de cuando Benny y yo nos estábamos haciendo amigos y luego fue muy divertido, así que por supuesto quería ponerla en el álbum que, ya sabes, hice con el amor de mi vida."
Letra:
Crazy
I like that, you like that, so let's be crazy
The contact, impact, I want that daily
Our breath getting deeper, deeper lately
I like that, baby
'Cause I can't get enough
Yeah, I can't get enough
Yeah, I can't get enough of your love
Give me some more, I love it
I can't get enough, yeah
'Cause I can't get enough (leggo)
Dice que no le es suficiente (wuh)
Está mal de la mente (yeah)
Cuando está solita, que entre (eh)
Música para ponerla en ambiente, yeah, yeah
Ella quiere que lo hagamo' como aquella ve' (yeah)
Le busqué otro trago por si tenía sed (uh)
To' lo que se pone, bonito se le ve (bonito se le ve)
Empezamo' a pie y ahora andamo' en el jet
Vamo' a calentar
Baby, tú va' a subir y a bajar (yeah)
No se quiere olvidar, lo quiere recordar
Baby, yo quiero entrar
'Cause I can't get enough (yeah)
Yeah, I can't get enough (yeah, Latino gang)
Yeah, I can't get enough of your love
Give me some more, I love it

The contact, impact, I want that daily
Our breath getting deeper, deeper lately (lately, lately)
I like that, baby, yeah
Ooh, and no one's gotta know, we can keep it lowkey
I'll be fine alone, long as you're alone with me (tell 'em)
So incredible, unforgettable on me
Keep your body on me (leggo, leggo, Tainy, come on)
'Cause I can't get enough (benny, benny blanco)
Yeah, I can't get enough (J Balvin, man, Selena)
Yeah, I can't get enough of your love
Give me some more, I love it
I can't get enough, yeah
'Cause I can't get enough
8. Don’t Take It Personally
Comentario de Selena:
"Esta canción es otra canción que, de hecho, armamos de una manera en la que realmente me fue contada. Así que esta soy yo y la experiencia de alguien tal vez en mi pasado que, sabes, había pasado por lo que necesitaba pasar para seguir adelante en la vida y esto se sintió, esto es raro decirlo, pero sí, yo soy la persona a la que le sucedió."
Letra:
I know the two of you used to talk, like, every day
And ever since I came around it hasn't been the same
You probably got a dart board with my face right in the middle
He sleeps in my bed, I met his parents, it's official
Please, don't take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Don't waste all your energy
We both know that he loves me
Oh, honey, you deserve it
I know you're gonna find somebody perfect
Please, don't take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
You're so beautiful, it’s still hard for me to swallow
I used to get so jealous, I would stress eat, drown my sorrows
In a bottle of vodka
And then I remembered that he doesn't want ya
No, he doesn't want ya
Please, don't take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Don't waste all your energy
We both know that he loves me
Oh, honey, you deserve it
I know you're gonna find somebody perfect
Please, don't take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Forever, forever, forever
Oh, forever
Forever and ever
Please, don't take it personally
9. Scared of Loving You
Comentario de Selena:
"‘Scared of Loving You’ es el pequeño encanto más dulce que pusimos hacia el final del disco, curiosamente. No iba a ser el primer sencillo, simplemente nos enamoramos de la canción y pensamos que sería una excelente manera de presentarle a la gente nuestro mundo. Y ustedes saben cuánto nos amamos y da miedo cuando te enamoras porque nunca quieres perderlos. Sí, adiós chicos."
Letra:
If I broke your heart, would you take me back?
If I broke my arm, would you sign my cast?
When I was young, I would love too fast
Hope I don't repeat my past
'Cause I'm not scared of lovin' you
I'm just scared of losin' you
I'm not scared of anyone or dyin' young
Or if you're gonna find somebody new
'Cause how could they love you as much as I do?
As much as I do
If I lose my shit, promise not to laugh
If I throw a fit and get photographed
Would you take my side? Would you hold my hand?
If they sell a lie, don't let 'em send me back
'Cause I'm not scared of lovin' you
I'm just scared of losin' you
I'm not scared of anyone or dyin' young
Or if you're gonna find somebody new
'Cause how could they love you as much as I do?
As much as I do
