Review

Selena Gomez De una vez meaning and English lyrics explained

De una vez – “At once” is a song by the famous singer Selena Gomez. the song was released in 2021 and broke the ten-year silence during which the singer had not released any music in Spanish. De una vez was launched to celebrate her Hispanic heritage.

De una vez is a song about a girl who learned to love herself more than others, a girl who left her boyfriend because the relationship was toxic and maybe abusive. The lyrics are a freedom declaration from the girl to her ex, it doesn’t matter if he hears it or not, she is releasing everything she got inside into words. She starts by saying that the wound of her love healed, now she is stronger by herself, and she doesn’t regret the past even when her relationship with her ex cut her wings. She says that when the last sea dries up, she will start thinking about coming back but she knows that is not going to happen, the time has healed her wounds and now her chest is bulletproof.

De una vez by Selena Gomez is an easy song to practice your Spanish. Selena didn’t make a difficult song; the lyrics are easy to understand and translate and the singing is slow-paced. This song is excellent for beginners in Spanish and for those Selena Gomez fans who want to know the meaning in English for the song.
