"God's Child (Baila Conmigo)" is a duet by David Byrne and Selena from her crossover album, Dreaming of You. In Canada, the song was released as a promotional single. The single had heavy airplay in Canada.
Background information[]
In the early weeks of February 1995, David Byrne asked Selena to record either a bilingual or English version of the song he wrote with her. Selena recorded both versions of the song, which was later determined by EMI Latin to choose from. The record company, SBK Records took charge and added the bilingual version of the song for her album. The song had heavy airplay in Canada, which made EMI Latin decide to release it as a single.
Byrne claims the song is about "two young transvestites" who used to live in his neighborhood in New York City.
Music video[]
An unreleased music video was officially given to the public by EMI Latin in 2007. The music video is seen with David Byrne playing the song during his tour in 2006, then when Selena's part comes on her Monterrey, Mexico tour is being the forefront, since the music video was done after her death.
