"I Could Fall in Love" is a song recorded by American Tejano singer Selena for her fifth studio album, Dreaming of You (1995), released posthumously by EMI Latin on June 26, 1995. "I Could Fall in Love" and "Tú Sólo Tú" were the album's lead promotional recordings, showcasing her musical transition from Spanish- to English-language songs. The lyrics explore feelings of heartbreak and despair and express the singer's fear of rejection by a man she finds herself falling in love with. Composed by Keith Thomas, "I Could Fall in Love" is a pop ballad with R&B, soul and soft rock influences.

Critics praised Selena's emotive enunciation and compared it to work by Celine Dion, Brandy Norwood and TLC. It received the Tejano Music Award for the Tejano Crossover Song of the Year, and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) recognized it at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards as one of the most performed songs of 1995. Because of the recording's composition structure and the singer's vocalization, OC Weekly, BuzzFeed, Neon Tommy, and Latina magazine, believed "I Could Fall in Love" was one of the best songs recorded by Selena in her musical career.

The track was not released as a commercial single in the United States, where it was feared that it might sell more copies than the album itself. "I Could Fall in Love" peaked at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, and at number one on the Canadian RPM Adult Contemporary and US Billboard Latin Pop Airplay charts. It reached the top ten on the singles charts of Canada and New Zealand. It became the most played song in Kansas City, Miami, and Boston and the second most played in Los Angeles.

To date, Selena has sold more than 80 million albums, singles, downloads, worldwide. Making her one of the best selling latin artists of all- time.

Dreaming of You is the fifth and final studio album by American singer Selena. Released posthumously on July 18, 1995 by EMI Latin and EMI Records, it was an immediate commercial and critical success, debuting atop the United States Billboard 200—the first predominately Spanish-Language album to do so. It sold 275,000 copies on its first day of release in the U.S.—a then-record for a female vocalist. With first week sales of 331,000 units, it became the second-highest first-week sales for a female musician since Nielsen Soundscan began monitoring album sales in 1991. Billboard magazine declared it a "historic" event, while Time said the recording elevated Selena's music to a wider audience. It won Album of the Year at the 1996 Tejano Music Awards and Female Pop Album of the Year at the 2nd annual Billboard Latin Music Awards.
In March 1994, she released Amor Prohibido; in interviews she said her English-language album was still being developed. Recording sessions for Dreaming of You began in December 1994; Selena recorded four tracks slated for the album. On March 31, 1995, she was shot dead by Yolanda Saldívar, the former manager of her Selena Etc. boutiques over a dispute about claims of embezzlement.

The tracks are a mixture of American pop and Latin music, with the first half of Dreaming of You containing R&B and pop ballads, while the latter half profiles Selena's Latin-themed repertoire. Six tracks from the album were released as singles. The first four singles, "I Could Fall in Love", "Tú Sólo Tú", "Techno Cumbia", and "Dreaming of You", charted within the top ten on the U.S. charts. The title track became Selena's Highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 single of her career, peaking at number twenty-two and was named the eighty-eight Hot 100 single of all-time.

Dreaming of You was among the top ten best-selling debuts for a musician, best-selling debut by a female act, And the fastest-selling U.S. album of 1995. It has since been ranked among the best and most important recordings produced during the rock and roll era. Media outlets have since ranked the recording among the best posthumous releases. When Dreaming of You peaked at number one, Tejano music entered the mainstream market. Music critics said the general population of the U.S. would not have known about Tejano or Latin music had it not been for Dreaming of You. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album 45× platinum (Latin field), for shipping 6.5 million units in the U.S. The album was eventually certified gold by Music Canada and by Asociación Mexicana de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (AMPROFON). As of January 2015, the album has sold 9.5 million copies worldwide, and remains The Best-Selling Latin Album of All-Time in the U.S.

Sometimes I lose myself looking at videos or photos of Selena. I get so sad. I think, if somehow given the chance to go back in time and step in front of that bullet for her, I would. I think a lot about if I could give my life for hers. Sure, I have people that love me. But now I'm a year older than she was... And I know my life won't ever have the meaning hers did. She could have touched so many more people... I know she continues to... But she could have had a family. It breaks my heart so much. I would gladly trade places with her. She would have had it all. Not that she didn't... But she would have seen so many more of her dreams come to life if she was here today.

Awww. A beautiful celebration of SELENA's life. We often spend our time wondering what is our purpose in life and never coming to the realization of it which is a tragedy in of itself. Concerning SELENA I don't think it was all about marriage and family and careers and being the biggest star. I believe one purpose was to come help pave the way for so many others. I get comfort in knowing that she fulfilled that purpose to the fullest then she was gone....but still with us in spirit. That couldn't be taken from us. Rip angel. Sing for God now.💝

It is a damn big shame Selena was always protected from having ‘boyfriends’ ! But the one boyfriend who truly loved her was Chris where was Chris on the day of the murder? If they knew Yolanda was stealing they should have all dealt with her together instead of leaving Selena herself to personally fire her! All the Quintanilla family who loved her so much let her down that same day even if Selena was an independent woman still she should have been protected here every moment from crazy sick fans no one wants to say that but after watching the Netflix over and over and her life story the father who protected her all the time and was so strict about every person who came into their lives the one person who was dangerous was no protected that seems like betrayal of Selena she gave all her heart and soul to this business why the last day of her life could have been avoided Yolanda saldivar should stay in prison forever
