Rebecca Black is taking a break from singing about ‘Friday’ in order to release her first full-length album in November 2011! The YouTube singing sensation recently spoke to mun2 about her Mexican heritage, her next single, her debut album, and what’s in store for the future.
Speaking to the Latino broadcast channel mun2, Black spoke about her forthcoming freshman album. “My new album should be out some time in November, which I’m really, really excited for,” the teenage songstress said. “People will really be surprised about the variety of songs on there. There’s some ballads, and there’s some upbeat dancey tracks. None are really like ‘Friday’ — I’m definitely trying to be way different in every song.”
She also went on to talk about her next single, which will be the follow-up to her latest release ‘My Moment.’ Black said, “My next single coming out is called ‘Person of Interest.’ The basis of it is that it’s a love song but it’s not a love song. It’s about almost teenage crushes — when you’re not in love yet but you really like a guy — which I’m really excited about because I don’t think there are too many out like that. It’s very much a dance type song. It will make you get up and dance and sing along in your car.”
The teen also spoke about her Mexican heritage, and the fact that she is proud to be part Latina. “My mom is from Mexico. I’ve been to Mexico several times. I used to go basically every other year, every two years,” Black said. “Whenever I have relatives for the first time come in, she’ll tell me to speak Spanish to them and try to keep up with the Spanish. My dad was born here in the States. People that have done a little bit of research on me, they know that I’m part Latina [and] and they really respect that about me which I really like.”
Finally, Ms. Black discussed what’s next for her after her album drops in November 2011. “I don’t know what could happen after this album — it really depends on the reaction, but I’d love to maybe [try] some acting,” Black told mun2. “Touring is the dream. If I ever toured I would love to sing one of my songs in Spanish because the best part about having fans is to be able to connect to them and to understand your music and what you’re going through.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Rebecca Black’s upcoming album and her single ‘Person of Interest.’

Were you the one who said that I would be nothing
Well, I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true
I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds when nobody is around to see...
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
[Rebecca Black]
You knew it all along, I was afraid of you
I thought I couldn't be myself
You tried to be my friend
But I wouldn't let you
Remember what you said
Don't miss out on your chance
Your life is in your hands
So take it just as far as you can
But trusting in youself, forget everyone else
Believe...
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows
[Bridge]
Haters, said I'll see you later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Said I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy cause I'm 'bout to blow up
[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment
When you talk, I listen, I like that
When you listen, I smile and I like that
Why you lookin', lookin' at me just like that?
I like that
I like that
There's a crime scene on the dance floor
Ring the alarm
Police tape on the front door
And you are
A person of interest
A person of interest
Can't say I'm love yet, but certainly impressed
You are a person of interest
A person of interest
Can't say that it's love yet, but somebody's obsessed
When we're dancing real close, think I like ya
But when the lights go down low, I can't find ya
Now, I can't get you outta my mind, yeah
It's a crime, yeah
There's a chalk line on the dance floor
In the shape of my heart
Crime scene tape on the front door
And you are
A person of interest
A person of interest
Can't say I'm love yet, but certainly impressed
You are a person of interest
A person of interest
Can't say that it's love yet, but somebody's obsessed
Can't deny, implicated
In the mayhem, in my mind
What has got me so frustrated
You should be mine, you should be mine
There's a crime scene on the dance floor
Ring the alarm
Police tape on the front door
And you are
A person of interest
A person of interest
Can't say I'm love yet, but certainly impressed
You are a person of interest
A person of interest
Can't say that it's love yet, but somebody's obsessed
