With the whole world being separated from each other I kept looking and working only on pure good vibes, I wanted to make music for the world and mix all my favorite influences of Afrobeat, Latin music, something that felt grounded and organic. [...] "Selfish Love" came very naturally for us and I think it's the perfect evolution for our history together.
"Selfish Love" is a tropical house[12] and dance song[13] with dubstep influences, Latin, Middle Eastern[14] and "chill" saxophone rhythms.[13] With lyrics in both Spanish and English,[2] the song tells the story of a girl admitting feelings of jealousy.[13] The song was written by DJ Snake and Gomez alongside Kat Dahlia, Kris Floyd, K Sotomayor and Marty Maro, and was produced by DJ Snake and Maro.[15]
