Selena Gomez brings her A-game in a new teaser for Emilia Pérez, which dropped Monday (Aug. 26) ahead of the film’s arrival on Netflix this fall.

In the nearly two-minute visual, fans get glimpses of the 32-year-old singer-actress staring down the camera, breaking down in tears and lying on a blanket with her fictional family while watching the stars. All the while, someone — presumably leading lady Karla Sofía Gascón, who plays the film’s titular character — sings in whisper-soft Spanish. 

“Half rich, half poor, half kingpin, half queen,” the voice croons, according to Netflix’s English subtitles, with a shot of Gomez strutting in slow motion coming onscreen at the word “queen.” “Half here, half there, half dead, half alive/ Half inside, half out, everything, nothing.” 

After a fast-paced sequence of dance numbers led by Gomez and her costars, gunshots and blood, the teaser ends with a close-up shot of the Rare Beauty founder quietly exhaling, her eyes closed. Also starring Zoe Saldaña, who appears throughout the teaser, the movie follows a Mexican drug lord (Gascón) embracing her true identity as a woman.

Ahead of the film’s French premiere, the “Love On” singer posted a throwback video on Aug. 19 of herself reacting to the news that she’d been cast in Emilia Pérez. “I can’t believe I got the movie, I’m so going to cry right now,” she says in the clip, barely holding back tears. “I don’t want to cry … This is going to be so cool.”
