Selena Gomez's first Spanish-language EP, Revelación, is *finally* here and let's just say... I can't stop dancing.

This isn't the first time the "Lose You to Love Me" singer pays homage to her Mexican heritage — she's covered Tejana singer Selena Quintanilla's "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" in the past, as well as feature on the 2018 smash hit "Taki Taki" alongside DJ Snake, Cardi B and Ozuna. She also dropped the single "Baila Conmigo" just last month.

Finally, Revelación is here and it’s Selena’s first full-length project entirely in Spanish.

During an Instagram Live, Selena said that "Buscando Amor," which translates to "Looking for Love" in English, is one of her fave songs on her new project. So, let's dive into these lyrics and see why.

[Intro]
They go out so they can see her
They get lost in the rhythm
They aren't looking for love
They aren't looking for love

Based on the title alone, some people would probably expect the second track on Revelación to be a slow jam or ballad about looking for a lover, but it is quite the opposite. Selena sings about what it's like to be single and have fun without the pressure of looking for love.

[Verse 1]
Let the rhythm take you over
That's how I like it, just like that
There's more to do tonight, I don't limit myself
The music is good and I don't resist

[Chorus]
They go out so they can see her because she likes to dance
They get lost in the rhythm, they start to forget
They aren't looking for anything, they're happy just as they are
Don't talk to her about love, that's not going to fly
They go out so they can see her because she likes to dance
They get lost in the rhythm, they start to forget
They aren't looking for anything, they're happy just as they are
Don't talk to her about love, that's not going to fly

"I’m actually grateful that I’m not involved with anyone right now," Selena said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

"Buscando Amor" is a reggaetón-infused bop that explores the idea of being content with yourself as you are. In the chorus, Selena sings "No están buscando na', 'tan bien así como están," which translates to "They aren't looking for anything, they're happy just as they are."

[Verse 2]
Today we're going out incognito
We're going to get into trouble
We're just partying, baby, we aren't looking for rings
When they play the music we go hard
Who doesn't like a Latina dancing to reggaetón?
Come if you want to taste it, leave if you're going to fall in love

[Bridge]
We won't stop until dawn
The party is over if we go
With our phones off

"We aren't looking for rings" further describes the idea of letting loose and having fun without the pressure of commitment. Things heat up in the second verse as Selena flirtatiously sings "Vente si quieres probar, vete si te vas a enamorar," which translates to "Come if you want to taste it, leave if you're going to fall in love."

In the bridge, she nods to partying with no phones and being present in the moment. In an interview with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest in 2019, Selena said that she deleted Instagram from her phone although she is one of the most-followed people on the app.

[Chorus]

They go out so they can see her because she likes to dance
They get lost in the rhythm, they start to forget
They aren't looking for anything, they're happy just as they are
Don't talk to her about love, that's not going to fly
They go out so they can see her because she likes to dance
They get lost in the rhythm, they start to forget
They aren't looking for anything, they're happy just as they are
Don't talk to her about love, that's not going to fly

[Outro]
They go out so they can see her
They get lost in the rhythm
They aren't looking for love
Leave if you're going to fall in love (They aren't looking)
Leave if you're going to fall in love

I seriously can't stop listening to "Buscando Amor," and I can't wait to listen to the rest of Revelación in all of its glory.
