Selena Gomez’s new release, “Call Me When You Break Up,” cashes in on an ever-popular genre of songs about toxic situationships, adding an upbeat flair while cashing on the era of powerful duets.

The song features Gracie Abrams who already capitalized on the era of duets with her song “us.” featuring Taylor Swift which received a Grammy nomination.

The song brings a toxic love to life with a very upbeat spring/summer pop feel.

The lyrics tell the story of someone selfishly hoping their crush’s relationship goes sour so they get the chance they have not so silently been waiting for, which is something I believe most of Gen Z, including myself, can relate to.

Audio from an automated voicemail begins the song before it transitions to a fuzzy beat, reminiscent of a flip phone’s audio, an obvious reference to the song’s title. It then fades into a clear beat that lasts through the song.

Gomez ends the opening verse continually pleading with the voicemail that, “It will be worth it,” before Abrams delivers a verse revealing the emotional effects of her unrequited love.

In the end, the possible lover answers the phone, which Gomez responds rather toxically:

“Call me when you break up / unless you found the person you want a new name from / I’d like to be there when that day comes / You know I’m always here don’t ever be a stranger.”

This final line perfectly encapsulates the reckless desire the song’s protagonist experiences.

This song, although released this month, has the chance to be the song of the summer.

Gomez and Abrams have found a way into my playlist and I think I will be bumping this all year long.

Hopefully it can get me through finals when this semester is near its end.
