Selena Gomez Shines in Retro Vibes with New Single ‘In the Dark’
Selena Gomez has just dropped her latest single, “In the Dark,” and the accompanying music video, sending fans straight into an Eighties-inspired dreamscape. The track, featured on the Season Two soundtrack of the Netflix rom-com series Nobody Wants This , is already making waves with its nostalgic, sultry vibes. The video opens with Gomez seated gracefully on a white chaise, dressed in a sleek black leotard, before moving into moodier scenes where she rocks a glossy leather jacket and a chic two-piece, all surrounded by drifting smoke. Every frame oozes retro glamour while complementing the emotional depth of the song.
The lyrics of “In the Dark” beautifully capture the essence of unconditional love and support. Gomez sings, “I’ll be there when you lose yourself / To remind you of who you are / And I’ll be there like nobody else / You’re so beautiful in the dark,” conveying a message of unwavering dedication. Fans have noted the track’s throwback feel, and Gomez herself teased it on Instagram, calling it a “nostalgia droplet” and hinting that it may have origins from a scrapped 2010s project nicknamed Seven Heavens . The recording session for the video reportedly took under eight hours, a testament to Gomez’s effortless presence on screen.

The timing of the release adds another layer of personal significance. Just last month, Gomez and long-time collaborator and now-husband Benny Blanco tied the knot in a private ceremony in California. Their musical partnership stretches back to hits like 2015’s “Same Old Love” and the 2019 collaboration “I Can’t Get Enough.” In March 2025, the duo released their collaborative album I Said I Love You First , and now fans are witnessing a continuation of their creative and personal journey through this latest single.
Beyond the romance and glamour, “In the Dark” also resonates deeply with Gomez’s personal experiences. She has been open about her mental health struggles, including a bipolar disorder diagnosis and past psychosis episodes, and her journey has been shared publicly through her documentary My Mind and Me . The song’s lyrics, centered on empathy, understanding, and standing by someone through their hardest moments, feel like a reflection of the support she herself has received from loved ones.
The single joins a star-studded Season Two soundtrack of Nobody Wants This , which features contributions from Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, Finneas, Role Model, and Teddy Swims. As the show returns on October 23, viewers not only get to enjoy new episodes starring Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, and an ensemble cast, but also experience Gomez’s captivating music adding emotional layers to the story.
With “In the Dark,” Selena Gomez has delivered more than just a single; she has gifted a visual and lyrical experience that blends retro luxury, heartfelt storytelling, and a deeply personal message about love, support, and resilience. It’s a track that fans will be revisiting long after the first play.
