Selena Gomez has released a new single titled "Love On," accompanied by a sultry music video directed by French filmmaker Greg Ohrel. The song, characterized by its upbeat pop tempo, showcases Gomez, the founder of Rare Beauty, indulging in flirtatious lyrics that invite a new love interest to dive into a passionate experience with her. The lyrics suggest a desire for a deep and exhilarating connection: "Wait 'til I turn my love on/ I'm no cheap thrill/ I'm a rollercoaster ride, baby jump on," Gomez sings, highlighting her readiness for a genuine romantic adventure, "Cause baby if you can't tell/ You're what I wanna love on."
Drawing inspiration from her affection for Paris, the track is filled with references to the French capital, known for its romantic allure. Gomez's lyrics playfully suggest escaping mundane conversations for more intimate encounters, possibly hinting at adventures within the city's vibrant scenes. The mention of creating memories in the back of a car or against the backdrop of a bazaar's bathroom stall paints a picture of spontaneous romance.
Gomez's connection to Paris extends beyond the song, as she spent two months in the city filming the movie Emilia Perez. She expressed her gratitude towards Paris on social media, sharing how the experience significantly impacted her. Additionally, her fashion-forward appearances during Fashion Week alongside Nicola Peltz Beckham and a brief "40 hours" visit to Paris further emphasize her bond with the city.
The release of "Love On" follows Gomez's public acknowledgment of her relationship with Benny Blanco, whom she affectionately mentioned in a Valentine's Day tribute. Blanco reciprocated the support by accompanying Gomez to the Golden Globes, where she was nominated for her role in Only Murders in the Building. Their relationship, characterized by mutual admiration, adds a layer of personal depth to the themes explored in "Love On."
