We don’t know if you still have «Calm Down» in your mind, the latest hit that Selena Gomez released alongside Rema in late 2022. Or perhaps you haven’t been able to get over «My Mind & I,» the song that accompanied her documentary of the same name, offering us her most personal side to date.
Regardless, the American artist has gone this entire year without releasing music, something that’s about to change. In the past few hours, posters with the following message have been seen on the streets: «Upcoming single.» Alongside it, a QR code, a website, and a phone number with an unknown recipient. No names or dates provided.

Those who dared to call the number received a personal message from none other than Gracie (Selena Gomez’s younger sister), addressing the singer directly with the following words: «Hi, love you sis. Never worry about boyfriends. At all.» Following that, a beat previewed the initial seconds of an unreleased song. A very similar way of announcing new music that we have already seen with Olivia Rodrigo’s «Vampire.»
Moreover, the website itself (illbesinglesoon.com) was directly linked to Selena Gomez’s social media accounts and offered fans the option to subscribe to a newsletter to receive information in the coming days.
With Gracie’s words and the website address, theories have begun to emerge. Why? The message on the posters can be interpreted in different ways. «Upcoming single» and «Soon to be single» are the two possibilities, especially when a younger sister addresses you to reassure about men.
In this manner, «I’ll Be Single Soon» could be the title of Selena Gomez’s first single in 2023, possibly giving us a glimpse of the initial sounds from her upcoming project, nearly three years since the release of Rare (2020), both in its standard and deluxe versions.
And you, are you excited to hear Selena Gomez’s new music? Despite not having heard new music from the singer, we have seen her active on social media, attending Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concerts alongside her sister or sharing an authentic party with our favorite blonde and her friends on the 4th of July. We can only wait and see.
