Background

In February 2023, Gomez first spoke about her upcoming musical output, telling Vanity Fair , that it was "about real things that I'm walking through" and described it as "really powerful, strong, very pop" and "freedom from relationships, freedom from the darkness". [4] [5] She further confirmed working on new music in May 2023. [6] On August 13, 2023, fans spotted posters with the question "Single Soon?" with a phone number attached to them. [7] When dialing the number, a voicemail greeting can be heard to "never worry about boyfriends at all". [8] The posters also pointed to a website called "illbesinglesoon.com" with the bottom of the page displaying links to Gomez's social media and newsletter. [9]

On August 17, after numerous fan speculations, Gomez eventually announced the single on her social media and revealed its cover art, which features her "posing in the backseat of a car with a glamorous fur jacket". [1] [10] Limited edition 7-inch vinyls of the song were made available to preorder, [11] along with its pre-save on streaming platforms. [12] In an accompanying statement, she stated that "Single Soon" is just "a fun little song I wrote a while back that’s perfect for the end of summer" and that she is not "quite done with" her upcoming fourth studio album. [12]

On September 14, 2023, the song was removed from streaming platforms and digital stores temporarily, before returning to its uploaded state after a few hours. [13]

Music video

To open the music video, Gomez receives a voice message from her younger sister confirming everything she needs to know: "Love you, Sissy. Never worry about guys—at all." [14] Gomez then writes a note to her soon-to-be ex, saying "I'm sorry, I can't, don't hate me." [15]

In the "Single Soon" music video, Gomez emphasizes that she will not dwell on any ex-beau for another minute. [14] Gomez changes and puts on a variety of luxury and glamorous clothes. [15]
