benny blanco, Selena Gomez, and Becky G Drop the Cumbia-Infused Anthem “Te Olvido (La La)”

If you thought benny blanco was done pulling off unexpected music collabs, think again. He’s back with a brand-new single called “Te Olvido (La La)”, teaming up with global pop superstar (and wife) Selena Gomez and Latin music trailblazer Becky G.

The track is a bright, cumbia-infused bilingual bop and serves as a major taste of what’s to come on benny’s upcoming album, Hermoso. If you’ve had it on repeat all week, let’s break down why this track works, what the lyrics mean, and why the music video is getting so much love.

What Makes “Te Olvido (La La)” Work?

Out now across streaming platforms, “Te Olvido (La La)” (which translates to “I’m Forgetting You (La La)”) trades standard club beats for a heavy, hypnotic cumbia rhythm. It’s bouncy, nostalgic, and immediately gets stuck in your head.

Instead of keeping things strictly in the standard pop lane, benny leans hard into the Latin grooves he loves. Selena and Becky G trade verses with an effortless vocal chemistry, anchored by a catchy, sing-along “la la” hook that hides a pretty sharp message.

The Lyrics: Calling Out Mixed Signals

Beneath that catchy beat, “Te Olvido (La La)” is all about cutting ties with someone who refuses to shit or get off the pot.

Gomez and Becky G lay it all out in the chorus, perfectly capturing the frustration of a classic situationship:

“Amor mío, ¿qué tienes conmigo? / Que no me quieres con nadie, pero tampoco contigo / Dime si somo’ o no somo’ de una vez, te lo pido / And así yo decido si te quiero o te olvido.”

(My love, what is your deal with me? / You don’t want me with anyone else, but you don’t want me with you either / Tell me once and for all if we’re a thing or not, I’m asking you / That way I can decide whether to love you or forget you.)

It’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever been stuck in relationship limbo and finally decided to choose their own peace of mind.

Inside the LA-Centric Music Video

The visual side of the release leans heavily into Chicano culture and Los Angeles roots. Shot by director STILLZ with legendary photographer and director Estevan Oriol helping shape the aesthetic, the video feels like a celebration of the city itself.

• Iconic Cameos: Keep your eyes peeled for legendary actor Danny Trejo and pro skater Paul “P-Rod” Rodriguez, who pop up to add some extra West Coast flavor.

• The Vibe: Rich, community-focused, and dripping in classic LA style, the visual matches the warm, celebratory bounce of the cumbia beat.
