De Los Picks: 20 best songs by Latino artists in 2025

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s song “Ojos Tristes,” featuring the Marías, came about through a shared love of vintage records. Gomez was particularly drawn to Jeanette’s 1982 ballad, “El Muchacho de Los Ojos Tristes.” After seeing the Marías perform, Gomez and Blanco collaborated with the band to reimagine the song as a bilingual dream-pop track, simply titled “Ojos Tristes.” The song quickly rose to the top of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and introduced Jeanette’s music to a new audience. – Suzy Exposito
