Gomez is nominated in the best Latin pop album category for Revelación, her first all-Spanish project and fourth EP overall, which arrived in March. She has also released three full-length albums—most recently Rare in January 2020.

"I am thankful I waited though because it would have been a completely different project 10 years ago. Some of the music I worked on the last couple of years kind of naturally led to the timing feeling right."

One of those songs was DJ Snake's 2018 smash single "Taki Taki" featuring Gomez, Cardi B and Ozuna, which peaked at No. 11 on Billboard's Hot 100:
