Selena's Posthumous Single 'Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti' Comes 27 Years After Death

Selena, one of the greatest Latino artists of all time, is finally releasing her new posthumous single 27 years after her passing.

The song, "'Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti," will be coming from her sixth studio album in total and her first ever posthumous album since her tragic death in 1995.

The track is set for worldwide release on Friday, Jul. 29, 2022.

The Latina singer's estate posted on Instagram last Saturday the announcement for the singer's first-ever posthumous single since her death in 1995.

"Fall in love with Selena all over again with brand new arrangements beautifully curated for her fans. @warnermusiclat is proud to present "Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti," the first new single from her new upcoming anticipated album, "Moonchild Mixes," streaming worldwide Friday, July 29th!" the Instagram caption reads.

Fans in the comment section are visibly excited about the recent announcement, noting that the new music was really highly-anticipated even among newer generations.

What sparked the excitement more among fans is that Selena's upcoming new song is one of the thirteen songs included in her next album.

"Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti" seemed to be the lead single on Selena's new album, "Moonchild Mixes."

The news came months after the Latina singer's father, Abraham Quintanilla, revealed details of the upcoming new album earlier this year.

KHOU 11 reported earlier this March that Selena's father announced that her daughter's posthumous album would release around April 2022; this, however, did not push through.

Speaking to Latin Groove News at the time, Abraham Quintanallia said that his son, AB, worked on her sister's new album.

"Some of the songs are done in ballads and some are cumbias. What's unique about it is not only is the music completely new arrangements, but my son worked on Selena's voice with the computers."

Additionally, some of the songs in the upcoming album will contain unreleased ones, which were recorded when the Tejano singer was still 13 years old but tuned as to how a "more recent Selena" would sound like.

"Selena's been gone 26 years now... It's amazing how fast time flies. What amazes me (and my family) is 26 years later, the public still remembers Selena, you know. They haven't let go of her. So they're waiting for a project like this to come out. I know that it will be well-received by the public."

On Mar. 31, 1995, Selena Quintanilla was fatally shot at a Corpus Christi motel by the president of her fan club, Yolanda Saldivar.
