Selena Gomez loves her song "Hit The Lights" so much that she decided to make a second video for it. The 19-year-old unleashed the original music video last November and now has a new 'nighttime' version of it to a group of lucky fans at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. It's a great way for Gomez to get the song back out there in time to become a fun summer anthem.The single is taken from Gomez's third studio album "When the Sun Goes Down," with The Scene. Musically, "Hit the Lights" is an up-tempo dance song. Lyrically, the song speaks about living in the moment and taking risks. Gomez told Billboard magazine: "It was actually the first song I recorded and it was really fun and I feel like everyone can relate to that song. It's kind of one of those songs about living in the moment while keeping it a big huge summer dance track. That one was really fun and kind of dance poppy."
The new clip features Gomez leading a troupe of people and take on the night life, hitting the city and clubs for a street flashlight party, and that pile of pink balloons is in this version too because there weren't enough balloons on the first go around. She explained the meaning of both the song and the clip is having fun, and throwing caution to the wind. "The song is that missed opportunity. The dreams that you wish you would go for and basically the song is just encouraging people to [let] loose and have fun and be young and crazy. This video is more organic than anything I've done before. It's about being with people you love and enjoying the moment and embracing the moment you're in your life."
Ditching the scene in the previous clip which shows her prancing around a sun-drenched field, this new video focuses more on the flashlight party she has with her friends at night. "The song 'Hit The Lights' is that missed opportunity. The dreams that you wish you would go for and basically the song is just encouraging people to loose and have fun and be young and crazy," she once said. "This video is more organic than anything I've done before. It's about being with people you love and enjoying the moment, and embracing the moment you're in your life."
