Background and release
In February 2025, Gomez and Blanco announced their collaboration project, I Said I Love You First.[5] They released the lead single, "Call Me When You Break Up", on February 20, and later hinted at another song dropping before the album's release.[6] On March 4, they unveiled the official track list on social media.[7] A week later, on March 11, they announced the release of their new song, "Sunset Blvd".[8]
Composition
Described as a synth-pop, ambient pop and dream pop number,[3][9][10] "Sunset Blvd" was inspired by Gomez and Blanco's first date on the eponymous street in Los Angeles.[9] During the bridge, Gomez delivers a half-whispered spoken word breakdown.
Music video
On March 14, 2025, "Sunset Blvd" was released for download and streaming, accompanied by its official music video, directed by Petra Collins.[11] Gomez drew inspiration from cult classics, channeling a full '80s vixen aesthetic in the video. Her hair and makeup paid homage to Francis Ford Coppola's 1982 film, One from the Heart, which he praised.[12][13]
