A few favorite Selena songs
“El Chico del Apartamento 512” is from Selena’s fourth album, “Amor Prohibido,” released in 1994. It’s an upbeat song about young love and describes having a crush on a guy who lives in the same apartment building.
“Dreaming of You” was posthumously released in 1995. The ballad became one of Selena’s most popular songs. It’s a heartbreaking reminder that she is gone.
“Amor Prohibido” describes a love between two people who are tested by differences in socioeconomic status and their parents’ disapproval. It was released in 1994.
“Qué Creías” was released in 1992. Selena often brought a male guest onstage when performing the song to play out the lyrics that describe a woman who rejects a man who broke her heart.
“Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” is arguably one of Selena’s most recognizable songs. It’s an instant pick-me-up song that describes having a crush on someone.
