Selfish Love Lyrics in English by Selena Gomez, DJ Snake
Celos is the Spanish word for "jealousy". It's a powerful emotion that is central to the theme of this bilingual track.
Unlike most songs where jealousy is portrayed as a negative feeling, "Selfish Love" presents it as a playful and exciting game between two lovers. Selena sings, "Tú quieres darme celos" (You want to make me jealous), and later admits, "Me gusta darte celos" (I like making you jealous), revealing that this dynamic is part of their unique and thrilling connection.
Ever been in a relationship where you and your partner kind of enjoy making each other a little bit jealous? That's exactly what Selena Gomez is singing about in "Selfish Love"! It's a fun, flirty track about a couple who keeps the spark alive with a secret game. She knows he's trying to get a reaction from her, singing, "Tú quieres darme celos" (You want to make me jealous). But instead of getting mad, she admits it just makes her want him more.
This isn't a one-sided thing, though. She plays the game right back! Selena sings, "Me gusta darte celos" (I like making you jealous), enjoying the "little rush" she gets when he's the one left wondering. They both know what they're doing, and they love it. She calls it their "selfish love," a special game that's just for the two of them: "Es un juego que queda entre tú y yo" (It's a game that stays between you and me).
