Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco released the music video for their collaborative song Talk on May 2, 2025. The track is part of the couple's debut collaborative LP, I Said I Love You First. The music video took a different approach from the usual ones, featuring a prom-themed setting.
The video captured the couple's prom experience on film, including scenes of them riding a limo and Benny trying to make sure Selena said yes. It also captured the couple dancing at the local high school gymnasium.
Following its release on Selena Gomez's official YouTube channel, the music video sparked a wave of reactions on social media. Many netizens took to X to share their thoughts, resulting in a mix of praise and criticism.
While some seemed to have loved the concept, others felt it was a "mess." One user (@SelenaGqueens) tweeted:
"The talk mv should've been scrapped. Like how hard is it to make a good MV. It's more like Benny thinking it's a good idea and Selena just accepting it. Deserved to be better."
Another user wrote on X:
"Just saw talk mv... whatever the mess it was ? Can't they understand that gp are more into listening music rather than listening your blah blah conversation."
"Talk music video is mess," added a tweet.
"The mv’s so far (except yahtm that is a masterpiece) has been a mess and doesn’t go with the album aesthetic at all," wrote another netizen.
Several netizens shared positive reactions to Selena Gomez's latest music video. A user commented:
"The way this melts my heart, love really is loud and clear."
"I love you too! Talk is on repeat—this one hits right in the feels," read a post.
"The Talk music video is so cute," explained a user.
Selena Gomez previewed Talk by uploading a snippet in February
In February 2025, Selena Gomez shared a snippet of Talk in an Instagram post. In the video, the singer could be seen lip-syncing to the part of the song that read:
"I’ll call you daddy cause I know you like that."
Later that month, on February 28, a longer version of the highly anticipated track was featured in an iPhone commercial, as per reports by The Rolling Stone. In this fragment, Selena sang:
"Baby, I’m tired of waiting. Go recharge your batteries/Come back to me/And make your mama proud."
At the time, the release date for the entire album remained unclear. Selena and Benny first announced the album earlier this year, when they dropped the first promotional single titled Scared of Loving You in February.
Other singles from this collaborative album are Sunset Blvd, Don't Wanna Cry, Ojos Tristes, Younger and Hotter Than Me, Call Me When You Break Up, I Said I Love You First, and a few more.
As for the latest Talk music video, while some criticized the concept, many fans seemed to actually enjoy it.
