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.
