Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 999 by Selena Gomez from Spanish to English.

Intro

It's been a long time that I want to tell you something

And I can't

Intro

My skin gets goosebumps

Every time that I see you

Intro

I already searched on the internet

To see if it's normal

Intro

To feel so good and at the same time so bad

To want to kiss you without being able to kiss you

To touch without being able to touch you

Chorus 1

I don't have photos with you

But on the wall I have a space

Chorus 1

We haven't gone out even one day

And I already want to celebrate an anniversary

Chorus 1

I want that tonight you come for a visit

In the background put your favorite playlist

I want to do it with you

I don't want to have to go slow

Chorus 1

I know that you think about me

And your heart moves

If you want to go at a thousand

I am at nine hundred ninety-nine

I know that you think about me

And your heart moves

If you want to go at a thousand

I am at nine hundred ninety-nine

Verse 1

I know that to reach a thousand

You have to start from zero

Verse 1

First the rain falls before the downpour

And to be sincere with you

I am not waiting anymore

Verse 1

I have no doubts that this is true love

I've been thinking for a while now

About the perfect night

Verse 1

When I can finally have you completely

You and I flying without a plane

Traveling without a suitcase

Chorus 2

I don't have photos with you

But on the wall I have a space

Chorus 2

We haven't gone out even one day

And I already want to celebrate an anniversary

Chorus 2

I want that tonight you come for a visit

In the background put your favorite playlist

I want to do it with you

I don't want to have to go slow

Chorus 2

I know that you think about me

And your heart moves

If you want to go at a thousand

I am at nine hundred ninety-nine

I know that you think about me

And your heart moves

If you want to go at a thousand

I am at nine hundred ninety-nine

Verse 2

I already want to be with you

What we already did in my head

They aren't the first ones, but yes that they be mine

The last lips that you kiss

Chorus 3

I don't have photos with you

But on the wall I have a space

Chorus 3

We haven't gone out even one day

And I already want to celebrate an anniversary

Chorus 3

I want that tonight you come for a visit

In the background put your favorite playlist

I want to do it with you

I don't want to have to go slow

Chorus 3

I know that you think about me

And your heart moves

If you want to go at a thousand

I am at nine hundred ninety-nine

I know that you think about me

And your heart moves

If you want to go at a thousand

I am at 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.”
