Selena Gomezโs โnewโ bop is a blast from the past.
Last night, the singer officially released her song โFeel Me,โ a record the songbird has been teasing Selenators with since 2016. "On the Revival Tour, I introduced a song that you guys havenโt stopped talking about since. Soo you asked and I listened. Today, 'Feel Me' is out online and vinyl everywhere,โ the artist announced when the track dropped at midnight.
While the song has been in Gomezโs arsenal for four years, its high-tempo beat and message are as timely as ever. โNo one love you like I love ya/ Never cheat, never lie/ Never put no one above ya/ I gave you space and time,โ the 27-year-old opens the track over a pop-infused beat.
From there, the tone of the tune continues to draw on an unfaithful lover wanting to get back what he lost โ Selena, in this case โ because the pop star, knowing sheโs irreplaceable, lingers on in their mind. โDo your days get a little bit longer?โ she asks, leading the track to the infectious chorus: โEvery time your lips touch another/ I want you to feel me/ Every time you dance with somebody/ I want you to feel me.โ
For many, Gomezโs decision to release the track was an answered prayer as she had previously relented to release the record at all. Last month, a fan asked whether sheโd consider dropping โFeel Meโ with her new album, Rare, to which the vocalist replied, โThat song was from when I was in a different place and doesnโt fit with where I am right now.โ
The โdifferent placeโ Gomez is referring to is without a doubt dredging up her past with ex Justin Bieber, with whom she had been dating on-and-off when โFeel Meโ was written. Despite the years that have passed since then, the superstar officially closed that chapter of her life with her powerful number-one ballad โLose You to Love Meโ from her latest album.
