Los Angeles’ Latino neighborhoods became the backdrop for what fans are calling one of the most anticipated crossovers in Latin pop. Over the weekend, Selena Gomez and Becky G were seen filming together on public streets, sparking widespread speculation about a joint music video and single.
Leaked videos circulating on social media show both artists dancing and lip-syncing to an unreleased track that blends reggaeton with urban pop. The rumored title is “EPA,” though representatives have yet to confirm details. The shoot also featured producer Benny Blanco, Gomez’s partner, adding weight to the project’s production value.
Two Mexican-American Stars, One Shared Vision
This potential collaboration is more than a catchy tune—it represents a meeting of two artists who have navigated their careers between Mexican heritage and mainstream English-language success. Selena Gomez explored her roots deeply with her 2021 EP Revelación, which included collaborations with Rauw Alejandro and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album. Becky G, meanwhile, has become a leading voice in female urban music, with hits like “MAMIII” and “Chanel” that celebrate her Mexican-American identity.
Both artists have spoken openly about the importance of representing their culture. Gomez has said that Revelación was a way to reconnect with her father’s Mexican side, while Becky G has consistently woven Spanish lyrics and regional Mexican sounds into her work. Their union on a single track would be a powerful statement for bicultural Latinas in the music industry.
The choice of filming locations—streets in heavily Latino districts of LA—is no accident. The aesthetic leans into the everyday vibrancy of the community, moving away from polished studios to capture the raw energy of the city’s barrios. This approach mirrors a broader trend among Latin artists who are reclaiming urban spaces as stages for cultural expression.
What We Know About “EPA”
Audio snippets leaked online reveal an infectious rhythm built for streaming playlists. In one clip, Becky G sings: “Me puse linda pa’ que tú me digas uh,” a hook designed to stick. The track reportedly blends reggaeton beats with pop melodies, a formula that has proven successful for both artists in the past.
While no official release date has been announced, the buzz is already building. If the collaboration materializes, it could become one of the defining Latin music moments of 2026. For context, this follows other major crossovers like Ryan Castro and Danny Ocean’s “Desahógate”, which also fused street energy with melodic depth.
The timing is also notable given the recent surge in Latin music’s global influence. Artists like Rosalía, Bad Bunny, and Shakira have proven that Spanish-language tracks can dominate charts worldwide. Gomez and Becky G’s potential hit would add to that momentum, especially as both have strong followings in the U.S. and Latin America.
For now, fans are left to speculate. But if the leaked videos are any indication, the chemistry between these two artists is undeniable. As one fan on Instagram put it, “This is the collaboration we’ve been waiting for.”
