Selena Gomez Becky G Benny Blanco now share one release: “Te Olvido (La La),” a Latin single from Blanco’s upcoming album Hermoso. The track pushes three names into the same lane, while the video adds a Los Angeles setting and cameo appearances from Danny Trejo and Paul Rodriguez.
Blanco said in an interview with El Pais, “I feel that pop music has stagnated in recent years and that no one is doing anything truly new.” That line fits the release strategy here: he is not just putting out a single, he is using a Latin record to test the edge of the pop space he says has gone flat.
Los Angeles video details
The video for “Te Olvido (La La)” was shot in Los Angeles and is built around Los Angeles Chicano culture. Trejo and Rodriguez are not background names; they are part of the framing, and Trejo revisits his signature Machete character with a lighter tone than the role usually carries.
That gives the release more than a standard pop rollout. The song carries Blanco’s latest album campaign, but the visual treatment gives Selena Gomez and Becky G a setting that pushes beyond a simple feature credit and into cultural reference points that are legible in the clip itself.
Hermoso arrives Aug. 14
Hermoso is scheduled to be out Aug. 14, so this single functions as an early marker for the album’s sound and positioning. Blanco has already said Latin music has been around him since childhood, that he was drawn to the drums, and that the genre brings “a bold edge” and “a grit” he thinks traditional pop sometimes lacks.
Selena Gomez also brings a second layer of continuity to the release. In December 2023, she was already laying out the relationship in public with Blanco, including the line, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”
Selena Gomez in December
December 2023 matters here because it shows how quickly this pairing moved from private noise to public collaboration. Gomez shared several Instagram Stories that month, including a photo of herself wearing a bejeweled “B” ring, along with pictures in New York City with Blanco and their friends.
Blanco later said on the Howard Stern Show in May 2024 that the two began dating in July 2023, around Gomez’s birthday. By the time they attended the Los Angeles Lakers home game against the Miami Heat in January 2024, the public timeline was already out in the open, and “Te Olvido (La La)” turns that visibility into a recorded release instead of another round of gossip.
For listeners, the practical answer is simple: this is the track to hear if you want to know how Blanco is positioning Hermoso. The album is the real endpoint, and the single suggests he is leaning into Latin textures rather than treating them as a one-off detour.
