Heaven discusses the influence Selena left on Mexican girls as she was gaining crossover appeal into American audiences, as well as some of the problematic issues regarding her education, sexuality, and murder.

Along with Selena's legacy, Heaven also touches upon how Selena's story has been shaped by her father, who has presented her image in such a way that doesn't provide a full picture of the woman but rather a manipulated and favorable image of himself and his own reputation.

Heaven also provides analysis on how non-whites are viewed in predominantly white markets, and how Selena has shaped today's Latinx and Chicanx communities.
