Before that, put your dancing shoes on and get put on some of the queen’s hits in order to mentally prepare for the new Selena content coming your way. Here are some songs to add to your playlist. That is, if they are not on there already. If you do not know who Selena is…you have come to the right place. Here is a list of 11 songs by the Tex-Mex singer who was taken from this world all too soon.
1. La Carcacha
This list is starting off with a cancion para bailar. Get those dancing shoes on and get ready to dance to La Carcacha and its catchy lyrics. Even though Selena is defending her man with this song, do not let that stop you from dancing until the end of it.
2. Techno Cumbia
Techno Cumbia is a party song to get you up and moving. It is a must have at family fiestas to get all of your tias and primas up and dancing. You better be dancing with them because it is what Selena wanted!
3. I Could Fall In Love
Feeling a little bit romantic? Want to listen to a song off of her English album? Look no further. The simple lyrics are easy to relate to and are always relevant.
4. Dreaming of You
Enamorada? This song is for you. Listen to it on repeat as you think about that one person in your life. If you do not have one, you can still listen to it on repeat. The versatility is here with this song.
5. El Chico del Apartamento 512
It is time to be honest with yourself: you have, at some point in your life, sang the sister’s part in this song. It may be one line but let’s be honest, it is pretty iconic. The love story in this song is pretty relatable and it is something a lot of people dream of experiencing.
6. Si Una Vez
Did someone do you dirty? Don’t worry, la reina del Tex-Mex has a song for you. This song will have you feeling all types of emotions and your only job is to sing your heart out and pretend that that person is sitting front row at your concert.
7. Baila Esta Cumbia
If you are not dancing to this one, you are doing it wrong. This may be one of her most famous songs and for good reason. It is hard not to dance to this one.
8. Bidi Bidi Bom Bom
If you think Bidi Bidi Bom Bom isn’t catchy, please take a second to reevaluate. Just the title is catchy! This one makes you want to get up and dance around. It is also a nice reminder that even Selena got nervous around her crush. If you can relate to that, you can officially say you have something in common with Selena.
9. No Me Queda Mas
Ladies and gentleman, it is time to get in your feels with this one. Grab whatever is near so you can use it as a microphone and look out the window as you sing your heart out to this emotional ballad.
10. Amor Prohibido
Selena had a way of singing love songs that had you believing that you were experiencing those same emotions. Maybe you were and the songs hit even harder! Either way, Amor Prohibido is another one that you cannot help but sing.
11. Fotos y Recuerdos
A little bit on the slower end but just as catchy as the rest. Fotos y Recuerdos is last on the list and it is a little bittersweet. Selena may have been taken from us way too soon but she left nothing but amazing music, performances, style moments, iconic pictures and amazing memories. Que descanse Selena Quintanilla.
