Selena Gomez' new song 'Sunset Blvd' with Benny Blanco sparks meme fest 

Selena Gomez is back, and this time she’s teamed up with Benny Blanco for her latest single, Sunset Blvd. With its breezy vibe and catchy beats, the song has fans dancing through the virtual streets of X—and, naturally, starting a meme fest. From the funky music video where Gomez playfully pops a miniature Benny Blanco into her mouth (yes, you read that right) to the laid-back yet uplifting rhythm of the track, the internet is having a field day.

But is the track a timeless bop, or just a guilty pleasure? Some are all-in, while others are doing a double take, trying to figure out whether Gomez just “reheated her own nachos” with this one. Either way, one thing's clear: Sunset Blvd is giving everyone something to talk (and meme) about.

Background on Sunset Blvd and Selena Gomez’s collaboration with Benny Blanco

Although Gomez and Blanco have previously collaborated, Sunset Blvd represents a change in the pair's aesthetic. In a catchy, upbeat packaging, the song examines themes of desire, nostalgia, and the bittersweetness of fame and love. While some listeners are complimenting its catchy tune, others are uncertain about the song's longevity, and critics are describing it as a blend of contemporary and old-school sounds.

Long-time fans were given a new level of familiarity with the music video, which was directed by her old collaborator Petra Collins. It seems like a joyful escape from reality, which is what fans have come to anticipate from her latest work, thanks to its quirky imagery and whimsical moments, such as a miniature Benny Blanco being playfully swallowed by Gomez. The song has a relaxed yet lively vibe thanks to Blanco's distinctive production technique and Gomez's vocals.

As for the fan response? It's been a mixed bag. Some diehard fans are singing its praises, claiming it’s another Selena classic in the making, while others are, let’s just say, taking their time to warm up to it. But regardless of where you stand on Sunset Blvd, it’s clear that Gomez continues to evolve her sound, refusing to stay in one lane—and we’re here for the ride.
