Selena Gomez breaks down into tears in the heartbreaking music video premiere for her brand-new song, "The Heart Wants What It Wants," the lead single from the 22-year-old entertainer's upcoming first greatest hits compilation album, "For You," due out November 24 via Hollywood Records. Love is a true mystery. Gomez opened up about the raw tune and bares her heart and soul in this touching new emotional rollercoaster. Would we all be better off if we could truly choose who we love?
Since splitting from Justin Bieber two years ago, Gomez has had a fair share of rumors, confusion, drama, and criticism lobbed at her for consistently reuniting with her ex. Now, the star who went to the treatment earlier this year for her "toxic relationship," is answering all concerned parties in a very big way. She's shy no more! Produced by Rock Mafia, "The Heart Wants What It Wants," is a super personal ballad that hears Gomez singing about her own life and critics she's received from the outside relating to her relationships.
"There is a million reasons why I should give you up/ but The Heart Wants What It Wants," sings Gomez in the chorus of the emotional pop ballad. "The Heart Wants What It Wants," is so unlike anything Gomez has released in the past. And it's so personal it feels like music she's been wanting to release for a long time but hasn't been allowed to. It's the most vulnerable we've ever heard Gomez, who tries to justify her volatile relationship with Bieber.
The former Disney star opens the somber black-and-white visual with a personal monologue about being wronged by someone who's messing with her head: "You make me feel crazy, you make me feel like it's my fault," Gomez's voice is shaky. "I was in pain... I know him though, and I know that I know his heart, and I know what he wouldn't do to hurt me." Then the dramatic clip leads into the vulnerable track as Gomez croons to a smooth mid-tempo beat about love and love lost. She is heard breaking down and crying as she walking away from the camera, in a very film noir-esque shot. At the end of the video, "The Heart Wants What It Wants" flashes across the screen. Gomez just tore her heart open and left it for us to fix.

Selena Gomez gets hot and heavy while showcasing her sultry, grown-up style as she conquers Paris in the leaked brand spanking new video for her dance-dubstep new single, "Slow Down," the second single from the 20-year-old starlet's forthcoming solo debut studio album, "Stars Dance," which is set to be released on Tuesday (July 19), one day after the Spring Breaker actress will turn 21. The former Disney star is seen in full-on starlet mode rocking trademark scarlet lips and sensuous dance moves to her up-tempo banger.
Produced by The Cataracs, "Slow Down," is a high-octane, uptempo dance-pop, slickly produced, stylish and EDM song, that has been described as wobbly club thumper. It features various dubstep influences, a little funk guitar twang that's lovely and a dubsteppy chorus and middle eight, but mostly it's that pounding four-on-the-floor beat pushing throughout that works marvelously. The best moment is a spoken-word bit at the end that's too lovely to spoil. Lyrically, the song speaks of taking a relationship slowly rather than rushing into things.
"Can we take it nice and slow, slow/ Break it down and drop it low, low/ Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights 'til you can let me go," sings Gomez, who recorded this dubstep-influenced track to remind herself how important it is to live in the moment. "It's basically just about having this moment and not having to rush it, because I don't know how many times I've been like, 'I just want to be married and over this,' but this is what we're supposed to be enjoying," she revealed to MTV News.
Filmed last May in Paris, the "Slow Down" visual shows Gomez loving night time in the City of Lights. It opens with the night scenery around Eiffel Tower. After inexplicably taking a mysterious ride through the streets of Paris in a vintage Mercedez Benz, she walks fiercely in boots and does a sexy strut down a cobblestone street and ends up in a club flanked by an array of hunky dancers performs a choreography in a neon-lit room, where she just lets loose and lives while she's young or whatever, and forgets about all her problems by fist-pumping and just 'letting go' on the dance floor.

After what seems like a year without rain, the drought has finally ended, as Selena Gomez grows up and pays tribute to pop's past in her brand-new music video for her fun dance track, "Come & Get It," the lead single from the 20-year-old pop songstress and actress' upcoming as-yet-untitled debut solo album, fourth overall, following the three discs she released as the frontwoman of Selena Gomez & the Scene. The new video features Gomez braving the elements as she dances by a fire in a sexy sari-inspired getup before swimming in the open water, and we think it's her best video yet!
The Ester Dean penned and Stargate produced track is a mid-tempo pop song with elements of Indian music, about an up-and-down, on-off relationship. lyrically, it describes an addiction to a troublesome romance as a female lover's attempt to rekindle a previously ended romance. "Come & Get It," an easy, breezy tune with an ambling melody and a hint of reggae lilt, is fairly monotone, but repeat listens reveal the song's infectiousness. The track combines a Bhangra beat and vocal with a club-ready vibe and a dreamy bridge. And Gomez seems completely on-board with her love affair on the dance track.
The tribal electro-pop jam was released a few months after Gomez's split from her former boyfriend Justin Bieber. Fans immediately began speculating that the tune was a message to her ex that she wanted to get back together. However, the singer denied this was the case. She told Ryan Seacrest, "It's not really about a specific person. It exudes confidence and strength and that is something I'm willing to share with the world. I want to represent something good and be a good example."
Teaming up with director Anthony Mandler, who most recently directed Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" video, the two collectively worked to bring the Bhangra beat of "Come & Get it" to life. In the video, Gomez embracing an earthy, tribal feel and showed off a super sultry side of herself that we've never seen before as she battles the elements by taking on Earth, fire, and water. The singer seductively danced with the Earth in a revealing black outfit in a field of flowers. She fought fire in a red-hot outfit dancing with a group in the firelight. Gomez also channeled her inner mermaid by gracefully swimming in the ocean, and looked absolutely stunning while doing it!

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."

Selena Gomez pulls out all the stops to show us she's got a hipster side in her newest music video for "Hit the Lights," a peppy pop paean to opportunities lost and gained and the need to never be afraid to let loose. The upbeat dance tune is the third single taken from her latest album, "When the Sun Goes Down." The message of the clip seems to be to have fun, live your life and throw caution to the wind, but Gomez remains as innocently cute as ever with sunglasses too big for her face in the opening scene.
The lyrics of the song is inspiring and optimistic type. Gomez says that is "basically about every missed opportunity that I had. 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." 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."
Gomez's clip highlights the overall quality of the song. "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," Gomez teased. In this playful new video, the 19-year-old pop starlet sporting a totally '60s retro look and dons several party-ready looks as she and her crew spend a day chilling out in a sun-drenched cornfield playing with balloons and watermelons before heading to a rave later that night.
The video is like a day in the life of Gomez and had time to hang out with her mall-punk friends and dance her life away. Midway through the video, the atmosphere transitions from day to night and Gomez's wardrobe also takes on a more sparkling vibe. As She dances around as scenes of a far-off city flash by in fast-motion. The song closes out with a montage of party scenes, and in the end, Gomez is left alone in a field somewhere, fireworks blasting above her as she twirls around with sparklers ion her hands.

Selena Gomez finally debuted the full video for her new single, "Love You Like a Love Song," the second single taken from Selena Gomez & The Scene's upcoming third album "When the Sun Goes Down," which is due out next Tuesday. As one of the many Disney Channel teenage stars who have gone on to successful music careers, 18-year-old Gomez follows the trend down to a tee, following up two gold certified albums with a third which will no doubt win the hearts of preteens everywhere while driving their parents up the wall.
The highly irritating up-tempo track kicks off with a stuttering synth melody that sounds like it came directly from a Cobra Starship song, and that's a compliment. An electric guitar riff energizes the opening verse as Gomez sings about looking forward to the evening after a long, tiring day. "I felt like this song is a sweet way of saying what everyone feels when you're in love with someone," she explained. "For me, it's like the honeymoon stage. 'Love You Like A Love Song' is about that first beginning and that rush and there's a fun techno beat to it."
From Japanese Karaoke goer to a 'let them eat cake' corset wearing Marie Antoinette to a space age beauty enthusiast, The "Ramona and Beezus" star sure is showing some range in her new video for "Love You Like a Love Song." But what the ponies left out Gomez certainly made up for her with her best 50's Pink Lady impressions and Bohemian romance novel recreations. In an interview with E! News, Gomez speaks of the inspiration for the song in her new music video. She says that the song is about her "...interpretation of the different styles of love... I think it's really fun and to just enjoy it."
And according to Gomez, this "fun" love song is all about her past and current flames. The "Who Says" singer hits a karaoke club and busts her own song while the screens flash her in different looks, and sports a beehive hairstyle and cat-eye sunglasses while hopping a convertible with a young guy, dances around in a bejeweled corset and mini frock, and ditches her high-fashion look to trade it with a boyish look. Okay, so most of these scenes have absolutely nothing to do with one another, but it's as good an excuse as any to put Gomez in some fun get-ups rather then dedicating a whole video to fit an 18th century Mozart theme. Meanwhile, Gomez's new movie "Monte Carlo," which is in theaters July 1.

Selena Gomez and her band the Scene debuted a bright, cheery video for "Who Says" with a distinctive art style and a city setting, which was directed by Chris Applebaum, will premiere on Disney Channel tomorrow. The Disney songstress tones down her photo-model appearance to a casual look to sing with her band and a bunch of fans on the beach. The "Wizards of Waverly Place" star leaves a photo shoot session to walk barefoot down the streets, singing "I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me." She later hits the shore in a casual outfit and jams with The Scene. "The whole video was very fun to shoot. It was really very simple and natural," the 18-year-old actress said.
The single is the lead single from the dance-pop act Selena Gomez & The Scene's third album, which is expected to hit shelves on June 28. The uplifting tune "Who Says" is a single about embracing yourself and not allowing others to bring you down. In an anthem type style, the focus is about shrugging off the critics. "I think that this song is such a great message to my fans and it really touched me when I heard it. 'Who Says' is a song that says 'Who Says' that you're not perfect," Gomez added. "I've always tried to make my fans feel like I'm just like them, because I am - I'm going through everything that I'm going through. Basically, it's to the haters. It's to the people that try to bring you down."
There is a palpable wave of optimism rising through the ranks of teenage pop stars. Gomez's new single, "Who Says," is an an ode to self-worth. The up-tempo paean of self-empowerment was co-written by Priscilla Renea and produced by Eman. The empowering new track premiered Tuesday during On Air With Ryan Seacrest. The digital single was made available four days later on March 14th. Gomez, who has caught a ton of flack from young believers for her relationship with the teen crush of the moment, says the song is aimed at "the haters." As for the song's positive message, it's one that Gomez hopes will "inspire my fans to embrace who they really are."
"Who Says" is a departure from the last few tunes that Gomez has released. Her previous singles "A Year Without Rain," "Round and Round" and "Naturally" have been in the vein of club jams, whereas the new song has a more organic, acoustic vibe to it. Much of the song seems a bit superfluous, "I'm sure you've got some things you'd like to change about yourself, but when it comes to me, I wouldn't wanna be anybody else." And, like many feel good anthems, this one is a little bit tepid. That said, its a cute song and you can check it out below.

Both the standard and deluxe bundle will be released in United States on September 21.
The new music video sees the Alex Russo of 'Wizards of Waverly Place' finding the love she is yearning for in the desert. Reminiscent of a Bollywood musical from the 60's, the video opens with the 18-year-old wearing a long gown and driving through a desert in a red vintage convertible with her band, The Scene. The sun is blazing hot as she sings her heart out about missing the person she loves. At the end of the video, the "Monte Carlo" movie beauty finally get to meet him amidst under the heavy downpour of the rain.
In an interview with MTV, Gomez spoke of the title track and second single, "A Year Without Rain", saying, "It's basically one of my favorite songs on the record, um, and it's kind of got a more feel-good, dance beat feel, I love it." The plaintive "A Year Without Rain" may be more subdued, but its beauty impressed Gomez enough to make it the title track. "When I got the song, I went through the roof," she recalls. "Everybody has that one person they can't live without. It was exactly what I wanted to say." Having her own band has been a comfort for Gomez as she hits the road with "A Year Without Rain."

A follow-up to "Kiss & Tell," Gomez's gold-certified Hollywood Records debut CD, "A Year Without Rain" shows Gomez and her band, The Scene, in a whole new light, this one pulsating, multicolored and ready for the mirrored ball. "I really wanted something that felt good to perform, but had a techno/dance vibe," Gomez says. "I wanted something that had meaning and melody, and more empowering lyrics." That's exactly what she delivers in "A Year Without Rain." Gomez kept to a more quickened tempo, exploring themes of love, freedom and the joy of living for the moment.

Disney star Selena Gomez & The Scene (aka Selena & the Scene) have finally dropped their new music video on the Disney Channel today for the new single "Round and Round."

"Round and Round" was produced by Kevin Rudolf and recorded entirely in Budapest, with the catchy and upbeat tone, was premiered through Radio Disney Firday. It has the Disney protégé venting about a relationship going well in circles. The dance-driven track with disco back beats ventures into a new genre for the poppy singer. Of the effort, GomThe teen sensationared with host Ernie D on Radio Disney, that the new album will should mark a shift in her evolution and show her growth as an artist.

You can really see my growth in this album and that’s what I’m excited about."
The clip features the 'Ramona and Beezus' beauty is wearing light gray-colored coat and strutting her way on the street of Budapest, Hungary as a sexy and glamourous spy trying not to get caught by other undercover agents played by The Scene members. The secret agent theme vid is nothing spectacular and doesn't really make any sense what so ever but it's cute and Gomez looks gorgeous and petit as always, playing an undercover spy!
The 17-year-old songstress will be touring for the rest of the summer, and also stayed in the capital city of Hungaria to shoot her new movie "Monte Carlo" along with Katie Cassidy, Leighton Meester and Cory Monteith. The film is co-produced by Nicole Kidman and eyed to be released in 2012.

Disney starlet Selena Gomez lets thing flow natural in the official music video for "Naturally", the latest hit single from her debut album "Kiss & Tell," has world premiered last night (8:40 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel during an episode of her TV series "Wizards of Waverly Place," as well as twitvid.com. The single will go into rotation on Radio Disney that same day.
"Naturally" was confirmed on Gomez's live web-cast to be the second single, which is an electropop song that has a juicy and instantly memorable vocal hook. The song was peaked at No.9 on Billboard Hot 200 since being released on September 29. "Naturally" was written by Antonina Armato, Tim James and Devrim Karaoglu and directed by Chris Dooley who also directed Gomez's first music video, "Falling Down." The song "Naturally" will be performed on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2010.
The colorful music video for "Naturally" was shot on November 14, It features the young songstress undergoing several costume changes and singing the song energetically in front of a large projection of colorful platform. Previously, Selena shared the concept of the video to MTV when met at 2009 American Music Awards saying, "The video is very different from any other video that I've done." She added, "It has a lot more fierce clothes and a lot of fun colors."
With the 17-year-old signer/actress and her band getting duplicated every second, you can't take your eyes off the video! The Scene dished that they had to re-record this track especially for the video. It's truly incredible that, at a tender 17 years of age, the Wizards of Waverly Place star has mastered the whole "tilting her head downward and lifting her arms thing" so skillfully. There's no telling how many months she spent perfecting that move, and we only hope that she didn't sprain anything in the process.
