Selena Gomez proudly proclaims her freedom in her new single “Single Soon,” and while she’s open to a new relationship, all potential suitors should come prepared. In a new interview with SiriusXM’s Hits 1, the Only Murders in the Building star revealed her dating requirements for anyone that wanted to impress her enough to make her “single soon.”
Despite saying she’s “high maintenance” on her new song, Gomez said she’s not actually that demanding — she just has some normal guidelines when it comes to dating. “I have standards, and I think I live in a world right now where boys confuse standards with high maintenance,” she said. “I'm not ashamed to say I require X, Y, and Z for you to be with me.” And she’s not afraid to share those requirements to the world. "You gotta be cool, man,” she quipped. “Not cool in the sense that people think you’re cool. You just gotta be nice, and please make me laugh, and also just be good to my family and people around you.”
Back in June, as seen in a TikTok video, Gomez proudly announced her single status to some athletic soccer players who may have met her standards — if she had caught their attention. “They didn’t hear me,” she told the radio hosts. “And they didn’t really care, so I was just like, ‘Alright...’ Not one of them gave a damn.”
Even though her attempts at an athletic boyfriend flopped, Gomez is completely fine being single and knows the right person will blend right into her life when it happens. “I think everybody goes through the phase of, ‘Oh, it'd be nice to have someone,’ and I get that,” she said. “But you know, I'm just enjoying where I'm at and I just want to be happy with who I am so that whenever that person comes into my life, I can just have them add on to me instead of being this insecure, you know, person that I normally used to be.”
For now, Gomez is fully enjoying her single-dom, which will be reflected beyond “Single Soon” in her upcoming new music. In a separate radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, the singer revealed that her long-awaited next album, which she’s teasing as SG3, will not include any songs that will make you cry. “This is the first album that I will not have a single sad song,” she stated. “Just beautiful songs that are really fun, energetic, pop as pop can be. It fits the new version of what I've walked through and now I'm just happy and it feels good.”

Miley Cyrus Said Her Former Label Didn't Think "See You Again" Would Be A Hit
There’s a reason why her first chart hit never got a music video.

Miley Cyrus has a plethora of classic hits and generation-defining anthems — but her first hit almost wasn’t meant to be. As part of her TikTok interview series to promote her new single “Used To Be Young,” the singer said that her former record label didn’t think her debut single “See You Again” would become a hit. As history quickly proved, the song was a smash.
The former Hannah Montana star explained that she wrote “See You Again” as her first step in clearly separating her own music persona from her iconic Disney Channel alter-ego. “I have my own name in the song, I say ‘my best friend Lesley’ in the song, so this was really the beginning of me storytelling for my fans,” she explained. “I wrote that song in a way that would feel really personal to Miley so there would be no confusion between me and the character.”
However, she claimed that her former label didn’t believe in the song, and as a result, it didn’t get its own music video. “My record label at the time didn’t think the song was a hit, so there was never a music video made for it,” she said. However, after Cyrus performed the song on platforms like the Disney Channel Games, it naturally became a success. “[They] told me this song wasn’t gonna be a hit, and my fans decided otherwise,” she added. “It’s always been us.”
“See You Again” was included on Cyrus’ 2007 debut album Meet Miley Cyrus, which was released under Hollywood Records and attached to the Hannah Montana Season 2 soundtrack, but featured her first self-written songs. While it didn’t take off right away, “See You Again” eventually caught on at Top 40 radio stations and climbed the Billboard Hot 100 in 2008, resulting in her first-ever Top 10 hit and proving her teenage instincts were correct.
Over 15 years after “See You Again” came out, Cyrus still stands by it. The Grammy nominee added the song to her festival setlists in 2021, and when “See You Again” started playing during the interview, she immediately started dancing along and chanting “Work, work, work” to her younger self. “Hannah’s for kids, Miley’s for grown *ss men in heels,” she joked.
