Selena Gomez is living her best life, with a career that’s going strong and a love life that’s got everyone talking. She’s poured all that happiness into her latest song, Love On, which has quickly become a favourite for many. The song, made with the help of The Monsters & Strangerz and Isaiah Tejada, starts off with a bit of French that feels like a secret invitation to join in the fun. It’s a song that’s all about the excitement of love and the fun moments that make life special.
Exploring the Lyrics of Love On: The Art of Seduction
Love On is all about lyrical seduction, from the opening lines, delivered in French, enhancing the romantic allure and setting a tone of intimate affection, to the chorus that boldly states, “Wait ’til I turn my love on,” Selena Gomez crafts a narrative that’s both playful and provocative. In the lyrics, “This doesn’t have to be some sort of mathematical equation / Slip off your jeans, slide in the sheets screaming ‘Yes’ in quotations,” she mixes the casual with the carnal, making the song risqué yet relatable.
One of the most talked-about moments in Love On is the unexpected yet brilliant rhyme of “steak tartare” with “car.” This line has not only captured the imagination of fans but also showcased Selena Gomez’s creativity and her ability to find music in the mundane, turning a simple culinary reference into a memorable lyrical moment.
The song also reflects Selena Gomez’s personal and professional growth, as she embraces her sexuality and confidence and celebrates her freedom and happiness. In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, she revealed that the song was inspired by her recent experiences in Paris, where she filmed the musical Emilia Perez alongside Zoe Saldana. She also gushed about her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, who produced her previous hit single Soon, and said that he makes her feel “the safest” and that she has “hope” in finding love that’s right for her.
The French Influence and Release Strategy
Selena Gomez’s new single, Love On, not only captivates with its lyrics but also with its release strategy, which seems to be as thoughtfully orchestrated as the song itself. It’s a deliberate choice that aligns with the song’s French influences, possibly aiming to capture the romance associated with the month of love, February. The music video is heavily influenced by the time Selena spent in Paris, the city of love, this past year.
The release of Love On was preceded by a mysterious campaign that involved sending messages to fans to unlock a lock that contained part of the track’s lyrics and its release date. Later, some locations were unlocked where fans could find heart locks with more parts of the track lyrics. The track was also teased on social media with snippets and photos of Selena Gomez in Paris.
The Music Video: A Visual Feast
The music video for Love On is a visual spectacle. It begins with a group of couples lined up on a staircase, all kissing each other passionately, as we hear someone whispering in French. The video is set in the South of France in a beautiful grand hotel overlooking the shimmering ocean. Greg Ohrel, a French visionary, directed the video, which features Gomez in an array of stunning outfits, each of which adds a layer of glamour and storytelling to the narrative.
What’s Next for Selena Gomez?
Selena Gomez is not just a voice behind Love on; she’s gearing up for a transformative role as Linda Ronstadt in a new biopic. With a snapshot shared on Instagram, Gomez has the world eagerly awaiting her portrayal of the iconic singer.
In the recording studio, Gomez is laying down tracks for her third solo album, “SG3,” following the success of Rare and Revelación. The release of singles Single Soon and Love On has set the stage for what promises to be a 2024 musical treat.
On the small screen, Gomez continues her sleuthing antics in Only Murders in the Building, with a fourth season renewal confirming the show’s success. Her artistic endeavours don’t stop there, as her recent Top 20 hit Single Soon and a remix with Nigerian artist Rema keep her at the forefront of the music charts.

On the back wall of the last stall, in the bathroom at The Bazaar
