[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It was released on October 17, 2019, through Kemosabe Records, RCA Records and Sony Music Latin. [6] Mala Santa is a latin pop and reggaeton record, incorporating elements of latin hip hop and urbano.

The album debuted at number 85 on the US Billboard 200, including number 3 on the Top Latin Albums and number 3 on the Latin Rhythm Albums charts with first week sales of 8,000. [7]

Background

Since being signed to a joint-deal with Kemosabe and RCA Records in late 2011, Gomez began work on her then-English debut album. After collaborations with Australian singer Cody Simpson, British singer Cher Lloyd, and American rapper will.i.am in 2012, Gomez released her official debut single "Becky from the Block" (a cover of American singer-actress Jennifer Lopez's song "Jenny from the Block"), followed by her pop rap debut extended play Play It Again in July 2013. In April 2014, Gomez began releasing singles (including her first hit "Shower") from her pop English debut album, which was to be released either later that year, or sometime in 2015. In April 2016, in an interview with Teen Vogue , Gomez first spoke about the possibility of releasing an album. [8] However, it was not until 2019 that she went forward with the project. On March 22, 2019, it was reported that the singer was working on two studio albums simultaneously, one to be released in English and the other one in Spanish. [9] As of March 2019, it was unclear if any of the songs she had released up until this point would appear on a future album. [10] In July, she stated that her album was expected to be released later that year. [11] On October 8, 2019, Gomez took to social media to reveal the release date and the cover art of her upcoming debut studio album. [12] [13] The album became available for pre-order on October 11, 2019. [4]
