999 Lyrics in English Selena Gomez , Camilo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 999 by Selena Gomez from Spanish to English.
Intro
Long time ago I want to tell you something
And I can't
Intro
My skin gets goosebumps
Every time I see you
Intro
I
To see if it is normal
Intro
Feeling so good and at the same time so bad
Wanting to kiss you without being able to kiss you
Touch without being able to touch you
Chorus 1
I don't have photos with you
But I have a space on the wall
Chorus 1
We haven't gone out even a day
And I want to celebrate an anniversary
Chorus 1
I want you to come visit tonight
Play your favorite playlist in the background
I want to do it with you
I don't want to have to go slow
Chorus 1
I know you think of me
and your heart moves
If you want to go to a thousand
I am in nine hundred ninety nine
I know you think of me
and your heart moves
If you want to go to a thousand
I am in nine hundred ninety nine
Verse 1
I know that to reach a thousand
You have to start from scratch
Verse 1
The rain falls first before the downpour
And to be honest with you
I no longer wait
Verse 1
I have no doubt that this is true love
I've been thinking for a while
On the perfect night
Verse 1
When I can have you complete
You and me flying without a plane
Traveling without a suitcase
Chorus 2
I don't have photos with you
But I have a space on the wall
Chorus 2
We haven't gone out even a day
And I want to celebrate an anniversary
Chorus 2
I want you to come visit tonight
Play your favorite playlist in the background
I want to do it with you
I don't want to have to go slow
Chorus 2
I know you think of me
and your heart moves
If you want to go to a thousand
I am in nine hundred ninety nine
I know you think of me
and your heart moves
If you want to go to a thousand
I am in nine hundred ninety nine
Verse 2
I already want to be with you
What we did already in my head
They are not the first, but they are mine
The last lips you kiss
Chorus 3
I don't have photos with you
But I have a space on the wall
Chorus 3
We haven't gone out even a day
And I want to celebrate an anniversary
Chorus 3
I want you to come visit tonight
Play your favorite playlist in the background
I want to do it with you
I don't want to have to go slow
Chorus 3
I know you think of me
and your heart moves
If you want to go to a thousand
I am in nine hundred ninety nine
I know you think of me
and your heart moves
If you want to go to a thousand
I am in nine hundred ninety nine

SONG MEANING

“999” finds Mexico-rooted pop star Selena Gomez teaming up with Colombian singer Camilo to capture the electric rush of a crush that is about to turn into something real. The lyrics paint a playful picture of two people who are already day-dreaming about anniversaries, perfect nights together, and photo walls filled with memories—even though they have not gone on their first official date yet. Every line bursts with nervous excitement: goosebumps, racing hearts, and the irresistible urge to skip the small talk and jump straight into romance.

The title is a clever metaphor. If true love is “1000,” then both singers feel they are already at 999—just one heartbeat away from making it official. They admit they should probably start “from zero,” but emotions are running too hot to wait. The song celebrates that sweet spot between anticipation and action, where desire, impatience, and hope all blend into a catchy, danceable confession of “I’m ready when you are.”
