Fans did not wait long before jumping into the comment section of Pop Base's X post to share their opinions about Selena Gomez's latest work. Below are some of their remarks:

"The true power of this video isn't the cinematography, but the sheer confidence in its simplicity. She doesn't need huge sets or a storyline; she relies only on her raw vocal performance and emotional delivery to carry a four-minute pop song. In an era of maximalist videos, her minimalist approach is the boldest artistic statement. 🎤", lauded a fan.

"Visuals match the vibe perfectly. Selena really in her moody masterpiece era 🖤", noted another.

"Selena Gomez has officially released the music video for “In The Dark.” A hauntingly beautiful visual that perfectly captures the song’s mood. 💫🎬", comented a third.

Others also chimed in:

"SONG OF THE YEAR", declared a netizen.

"I will give the video 5.5/10.. she did not really put in a lot of energy", opined another.

"@selenagomez this hits so hard omg this took me back to my 14 year old self at the fresno revival tour! supporting you always!!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥", commented a third.

Selena also penned a line to announce the music video drop:

"‘In The Dark’ is out now. This is just a little nostalgia droplet and I hope you love it. 🖤 @nwtnetflix"

Notable lyrics from In The Dark include:

"Breathe with your fingertips (Mm)/ Fill up my lungs with your kiss, I'd be a liar/ If I said that your weight didn't weigh on me/ But I'm treading lightly"

In The Dark is Gomez's first solo release since her wedding to producer Benny Blanco. The couple tied the knot earlier this month in a private ceremony in California. Gomez and Blanco had previously collaborated on songs like Same Old Love (2015) and I Can’t Get Enough (2019).
