Fans' reactions to the debut of the Call Me When You Break Up music video ranged from compliments to sarcastic remarks. Selena's devoted fans are never afraid to voice their opinions, and this time was no exception. While some were here for the drama, others voiced their disapproval, claiming the music was out of date (read: it's giving 2016 Selena and not in a good way!).

A fan posted on Twitter, hinting at the track’s nostalgic yet divisive sound.

"This 2016 a** song. No thank you"

Not missing the opportunity to poke fun at Selena’s vocal performance, another user bluntly stated,

"SelChewNah singing off key per usual"

But while some were focused on the music, others couldn’t resist making jokes about the track’s potential impact on relationships.

"This song is already ruining relationships 😂," one fan quipped, clearly anticipating the emotional turmoil this breakup anthem could bring.

Another summed up their romantic situation with:

"relationship status: waiting for this song to drop ⏳."

The mixed reactions continued with a user making a cheeky nod to the constant comparisons between Selena and her contemporaries.

The single, collaborators, and Selena's career evolution

Call Me When You Break Up is Selena Gomez's second collaboration, this time with well-known producer Benny Blanco and up-and-coming indie pop artist Gracie Abrams. The song reflects grief in a way that both singers have become recognized for, and it is filled with emotional sensitivity. Although Gomez's voice has changed from her Disney days to a more sophisticated, pop-focused sound, her entry into the breakup anthem genre appears to be a logical move for her collaborators as well as her fan base.

This collaboration with Selena marks a significant turning point in the budding career of Gracie Abrams, who is frequently praised for her emotional lyrics and has rapidly gained popularity in the music industry. On the other side, Benny Blanco has experience generating hits, having collaborated with some of the biggest musicians. His distinctive sound gives this song a polished edge by combining pop elements with the pure emotion that Gracie and Selena show on stage.

Despite her history of receiving outspoken criticism, Selena's ability to connect with a broad audience is still indisputable (excluding her acting prowess in Emilia Perez). Whether they like it or not, her relationship with her audience is still strong, as seen by the fan responses to this song and accompanying music video. As she juggles her varied profession as an actor, producer, and singer, critics are closely monitoring her capacity to innovate in the music industry.

One thing is evident in the end, regardless of whether people are laughing at the song or crying over its lyrics: Selena Gomez's impact on popular culture is still very much alive and well.
