Becky G celebrates her collaboration with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco on ‘Te Olvido (La La)’ and reveals new details about filming the music video.
Becky G is entering a new creative chapter, and one of her most recent collaborations has given her the opportunity to work with two particularly significant names in contemporary pop: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. The singer has opened up about the experience of recording ‘Te Olvido (La La)’, a collaboration she describes as far more meaningful than simply another professional encounter.
During an interview on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show, Becky G was asked what it had been like to work with the couple. Her response made it clear that the experience meant much more to her than simply adding another major collaboration to her discography.
“It’s more than cool. It’s beautiful,” the 29-year-old artist said while reflecting on the project with Gomez.
Her connection with Selena Gomez also takes on a particularly meaningful dimension because of the heritage they share. Both artists are Mexican-American and have built international careers in an industry where Latin representation has gained increasingly greater visibility.
For Becky G, appearing on a song alongside Gomez therefore brings together two different career paths with certain cultural and personal connections. Both have also developed careers capable of crossing audiences, languages and musical styles, establishing themselves as two of the most visible Latina figures in American entertainment.
The singer also had particularly warm words for Benny Blanco, a producer with whom she shares a professional relationship rooted in admiration. Becky explained that she had recently been texting him to reiterate just how grateful she was to have been invited to take part in his project.
“I was texting Benny the other day and I just continue to reiterate to him how really thankful I am to have been invited to be on his album,” she explained.
Her involvement in ‘Te Olvido (La La)’ therefore becomes something more than a collaboration between three recognisable pop names. For Becky, it also represents an opportunity to enter a different creative space and work alongside artists she respects.
The singer even described the opportunity to share the project with Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez as “so sick”, an expression that captured her excitement about being part of the recording.
Music, however, was not the only area in which Becky G chose to become personally involved. The artist also revealed that she performed her own stunts for the music video, demonstrating her determination to participate directly in the different visual elements accompanying the song.
The detail is particularly striking given that music videos have become essential extensions of the creative worlds built around major releases. In this case, Becky did not simply perform in front of the camera, but became physically involved in some of the sequences devised for the production.
The collaboration also arrives at a moment of professional maturity for Becky G, who has spent years expanding her international presence while moving between songs in English and Spanish. From her earliest hits to her consolidation within Latin music, the singer has made her multicultural identity one of the defining characteristics of her career.
Meanwhile, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco continue to balance their respective professional projects while their personal relationship remains under intense media attention. Their creative work together has also provided opportunities for collaborations with other artists and helped establish new connections within contemporary pop.
