Selena: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 1997 film Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez. It features unreleased songs by Selena, including "Where Did the Feeling Go?", "Only Love", "Is It the Beat?" and "Disco Medley". Although this is the official soundtrack of the film, it does not feature most of the songs heard throughout the film from artists like Caifanes, Depeche Mode, Guns N' Roses, John Waite and Yuri.

Where Did the Feeling Go? is composed by Norman Saleet[2] and later recorded by Selena in 1989[3] and in 1991. She performed the song at the Tejano Music Awards and on her Ven Conmigo Tour.[4] Selena's version of the song was later remixed with a new live string arrangement by Selena y Los Dinos keyboardist Ricky Vela and posthumously released on the soundtrack album for the 1997 film Selena[3] and later included as a bonus track on the "20 Years of Music" version of Selena's 1992 album Entre a Mi Mundo, which was released by EMI Records in 2002.[5]

Puerto Rican singer Millie Corretjer recorded a cover of "Where Did the Feeling Go?" in Spanish with the title "Donde te has ido amor". It appears on her 1995 album Sola.[6]
