Selena Gomez just released another “Boyfriend” music video, but there’s a catch!
Two weeks after unveiling the official visual for the song, Gomez has returned with a completely different video concept that features nothing but dolls. Directed by the creators of the Instagram fandom account @selenagomez.doll, Gomez gets scaled down to size in the new take but the scenario — much like her amphibian obsession — stays the same as all her suitors end up becoming frogs.
In the infectious chorus for the lighthearted track, Gomez sings, “I want a boyfriend/ But I just keep hitting dead ends/ Try to take a shortcut, but I get cut/ Again and again/ I want a boyfriend/ Tell me, are there any good ones left?/ I keep finding wrong ones, but I want love/ Again and again/ I want a boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend,” as fans know, is one of three new tracks to appear on the deluxe edition of Gomez’s number-one third studio album, Rare. The revamped LP also includes new jams “She” and “Souvenir,” and also finds room for the 2016 deep cut “Feel Me.”
In announcing its release, the former Disney darling described “Boyfriend as “a lighthearted song about falling down and getting back up time and time again in love, but also knowing that you don’t need anyone other than yourself to be happy.”
