Music video
On March 21, 2025, "Younger and Hotter Than Me" was released for download and streaming, accompanied by its official music video, directed by Jake Schreier.[8]
The video opens with Gomez in an abandoned studio, surrounded by dust-covered sets. She wakes up in a space reminiscent of the Wizards of Waverly Place living room and wanders through the lot, haunted by memories.[9] Passing a High School Musical-style set filled with dancing teens, she feels the weight of time. Blanco joins her briefly for lunch, but as he leaves, it's clear—Gomez remains stuck in a world of child stardom, long after everyone else has moved on.[10]
