.

Background and writing

The crybaby (pictured) riff that Selena's husband Chris Pérez performed, became the musical foundation of "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom".

"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" originated at her band's rehearsals starting off as an improvised song with few if any lyrics.[1] According to Selena's brother, and principal music producer A.B. Quintanilla, the song came about shortly after Chris Pérez was hired as the band's guitarist in 1989 .

Suzette Quintanilla, the band's drummer, said "we were goofing off" and insisted that after A.B. began playing on his guitar, Selena started singing,[2] coming up with lyrics "as ideas came to her".[3] Pérez, who later eloped with Selena in 1992, wrote that the lyrics Selena came up with were unfamiliar to him despite the singer's habit of spontaneously writing ideas in a notebook and leaving it "wherever around the house".[4] The song was originally used for soundchecks during the band's rehearsals and was then transformed into a short recording by Selena about a cheerful fish swimming freely in the ocean.[5] Pérez said that what was then called "Little Bidi Bubbles" came easily "for everyone in the band."[5] In a 2002 interview he said that he played a riff using a crybaby (which gave off a wah-wah sound) and that A.B. gave him a "look" that suggested he was impressed with the sound that he had improvised.[5] The riff became the basis of the song before the writing process began.[5]

Before A.B. began co-writing, Selena and backup vocalist Pete Astudillo were in the process of writing the song in Spanish.[5][6] A.B., who arranged the piece with Roger Emerson,[6][7] said in a 2002 interview that "it was kinda a little scary" because the song "had never been done or seen before".[5] "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" served as the second single released from Amor Prohibido on July 31, 1994. A.B. confessed to wanting the song released as the lead single but found that Selena and EMI Latin pushed for the title track instead.[5]

Composition and lyrical content

"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is a Spanish-language

verses and chorus.[11] Ramiro Burr of Billboard magazine called the song a "reggae-tinged tune" and suggested that it could have worked well with French lyrics.[12] Writing for Billboard, Paul Verna called the recording a "spunky cumbia".[13] In his book Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound, Frank Hoffman called the song "reggae-inflected dance fare".[14] Mexican newspaper Milenio, enjoyed the track's fusion of cumbia and reggae sounds.[15]

According to author José E. Limón, the song consists of "playful cumbia-rhythms" with lyrics speaking of "young kids falling in love".

Maria Celeste Arraras, in her 1997 book Selena's Secrets, who feels the song is about unrequited love.[3] Bob Smithouser and Bob Waliszewski wrote in Chart Watch that "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" explores a volatile relationship.[20] Texas Monthly editor Joe Nick Patoski asserted the lyrics are: "about a boy who makes a girl's heart go thump-thump-thump".[21] "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" is musically similar to Selena's 1994 song "El Chico del Apartamento 512"; author James E. Perone called them recurring themes where the protagonist is "attracted to a young man".[11] Bill Ramsey of the San Antonio Current, noted how the lyrics were an "innocuous ditty".[22] Ashley Velez of Neon Tommy believed that most people who "ever had a crush" are able to relate to the palpitations of "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom".[23]

Dallas Morning News, the song contains the "bubbly, effervescent personality, the chica-del-barrio (the girl from the barrio) charm" in her recording, and believed the remixed version, found on the posthumous release Dreaming of You, was done so that it was "palatable club play".[49] Taradell believed that remixing the song was fruitless, claiming that cumbia music is "more danceable" than reggae.[49]
