## Composition

   With the whole world being separated from each other I kept looking and working only on pure good vibes, I wanted to make music for the world and mix all my favorite influences of Afrobeat, Latin music, something that felt grounded and organic. [...] "Selfish Love" came very naturally for us and I think it's the perfect evolution for our history together.
"Selfish Love" is a tropical house and dance song with dubstep influences, Latin, Middle Eastern and "chill" saxophone rhythms. With lyrics in both Spanish and English, the song tells the story of a girl admitting feelings of jealousy. The song was written by DJ Snake and Gomez alongside Kat Dahlia, Kris Floyd, K Sotomayor and Marty Maro, and was produced by DJ Snake and Maro.
