J Balvin joins forces with Bad Bunny, Tainy, and pop superstar Dua Lipa for the new single “Un Día (One Day).” Colombia, Puerto Rico, and the U.K. collide on the out-of-this-world collaboration.

“Un Día” was helmed by Marco “Tainy” Masís, one of the power players in reggaetón’s past and present. After producing Justin Bieber’s “Habitual” on his latest album Changes, he continues branching out into pop on this dreamy offering that rides a dembow rhythm. Lipa is no stranger to tropical beats and she sounds at home while calling out for an old flame. “One day you’ll love me again ’til the end,” she laments. J Balvin and Bad Bunny embrace their softer sides as they reiterate Lipa’s pleas in Spanish. There’s no language barriers here. The all-star team beautifully taps into that universal feeling of heartache on this transcendental slice of pop.

The music video for “Un Día” was directed by Stillz, the guy behind drag Bad Bunny in “Yo Perreo Sola.” Spanish actress Úrsula Corberó from Netflix’s La Casa de Papel (or Money Heist) stars in the magical clip. The project was executive produced by Tainy’s NEON16 collective.

“Un Día” marks the second collaboration in a week between Tainy and J Balvin. They visited Bikini Bottom for “Agua,” a song on The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run soundtrack. Tainy, Balvin, and Bad Bunny previously worked together on last year’s Oasis album. “Un Día” is Lipa’s first taste of new music since the release of her comeback album Future Nostalgia.

Twenty-five years after her tragic death, the late icon Selena continues to break records thanks to her faithful fans. This week, with the success of her greatest hits album Ones, she became the first artist to top Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart with a Latin music album.

“There is a deep connection between Selena’s old and new followers that puts her in a relevant position every time we revisit her music,” said Victor Gonzalez, president of Universal Music Latin Entertainment group, in a statement.

To commemorate 25 years since Selena’s passing in March 1995, her 2002 greatest hits album Ones was re-released on July 3 as a limited edition picture disc. The collection sold 6,000 copies and rose to No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart. Included are all her classics like “Amor Prohibido,” “Como La Flor,” and “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom.” Her few English-language hits are there as well like “Dreaming of You” and “I Could Fall in Love.”

Speaking of her posthumous English crossover, Apple Music is celebrating the 25th anniversary of her last album Dreaming of You that was released on July 18, 1995. A one-hour special will stream on the platform starting today featuring interviews with Selena’s family and collaborators like David Byrne, who worked with her on the song “God’s Child.”

There’s no doubt that Selena’s legacy continues to inspire many of today’s top Latina artists. Apple Music’s Dreaming of You special also includes interviews with Demi Lovato, Becky G, and Karol G on the impact Selena had on their lives. Karol G has a tattoo of Selena on her arm.

As a Mexican-American artist like Selena, who is learning to find her place in the Latin and Anglo music markets, Becky G feels especially connected to her. “As I got older was when I really started to resonate with her,” Becky G says. “Not just through her music, but through her story.”
