The 17 Best Selena Songs of All Time

If you said that "Como La Flor" is the greatest Selena hit of all time, I'd have a hard time disagreeing with you. The song compares losing a love to a flower withering, which is pretty dang accurate if you ask me. It was released in '92 as a single from Entre a Mi Mundo, which critics hailed as her "breakthrough" album.

I mean, just watch this video of her performing "Si Una Vez" at her Houston Astrodome concert and tell me you aren't absolutely mesmerized by her voice.

"La Carcacha" was one of the songs that helped Selena rise to fame across Mexico and Latin America in the early '90s. Translated to English, the title of the song is "The Jalopy," which essentially means an old beat-up car. Yep, Selena was singing about how she doesn't care if her man has a broken car, as long as he treats her right. Tell 'em.

"No Me Queda Más," which translates to "I have nothing left," is a highly emotional song about the greatest love she has ever known. Also from Amor Prohibido, this song became the most successful U.S. Latin single in '95.

Years after Selena was murdered, this song hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard Regional Mexican Digital Songs chart. Her power. Guess falling in love with the guy next door never stops being relatable.

"Donde Quiera Que Estes," or "Wherever You Are," is a duet between Selena and the Barrio Boyzz, a New York Latin American pop quintet. The song secured Billboard's number one spot, as this was the early '90s and boy bands ruled everything.

I totally get it if you're not the biggest fan of love songs. Most are over-the-top cheese-fests that make me want to gag. But there's something about this ballad, which might have to do with the fact that it was released after her death in '95, that makes it genuinely emotional.

"Dreaming of You" shared the same name as the crossover album that Selena was working on right before she was murdered. When it was released posthumously, it set a *ton* of records, including most copies sold by a female vocalist on a single day.

Another Selena song you can't help but move your hips to. Selena sings about how she only has "pictures and memories" of a lost love in this one, which also held the no. 1 spot after her death.

Musicologists (yep, that's a real profession) legit think Selena created a whole new genre of music with this song, which contains influences from Latin dance, club music, rap, and dancehall.

From her second studio album Ven Conmigo, Selena keeps it bumpin' with this anthem that reminds you to take a break from all the worrying and just enjoy the music.

Originally written for Ven Conmigo, this song was included on a remix album of the same name that was released relatively recently, in 2012, by a group of industry bigwigs who wanted Selena's music to reach a modern audience.

Arguably one of her most feminist tracks ever, she finds power through telling an ex how he betrayed her in this single from Ven Conmigo.

"Ven Conmigo," or "come with me," features sounds inspired by música norteña, a musical style from Northern Mexico marked by its polka and waltz tempos.

This Tejano cumbia song was one of Selena's biggest hits e-v-e-r. Everyone was obsessed with how catchy the hook was, and to be honest, I can't blame 'em.
