"Come & Get It" by Selena Gomez Video, Review and Lyrics

Review

Selena Gomez's coming of age story seems to be as dramatic and intriguing as the Hollywood scripts she gets offered. Whether it's shaking off that Disney shine with a starring role in Spring Breakers or her continuous on-off relationship with teen idol Justin Bieber, the starlet is never out of the gossip mag columns for too long. Looking to inject some of that I'm-a-woman-now attitude into her music career, she has dropped The Scene and gone it alone for her new single.

As the bhangra music-inspired intro merges into a dirty, fuzzy bassline, it's clear from the off Selena has ditched the pop sheen she has become known for. "If you're ready come and get it," she seductively suggests in a breathy tone that compliments the backdrop of grinding beats and one-night-stand synths that Rihanna has dominated over the past few years. It comes as no surprise that the track was originally intended for the Bajan star, but Gomez's take works just about enough to make sure her image as the girl next door is well and truly over.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
When you ready come and get it
Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na

[Verse 1]
You ain't gotta worry, it's an open invitation
I'll be sittin' right here, real patient
All day, all night, I'll be waitin' standby
Can't stop because I love it, hate the way I love you
All day, all night, maybe I'm addicted for life, no lie

[Bridge]
I'm not too shy to show I love you, I got no regrets
I love you much too much to hide you, this love ain't finished yet
This love ain't finished yet
So baby whenever you're ready

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
You got the kind of love that I want, let me get that
And baby once I get it, I'm yours no take-backs
Gon' love you for life, I ain't leaving your side
Even if you knock it, ain't no way to stop it
Forever you're mine, baby I'm addicted, no lie, no lie

[Bridge]
I'm not too shy to show I love you, I got no regrets
So baby whenever you're ready

[Chorus]

[Interlude]
This love will be the death of me
But I know I'll die happily
I'll know, I'll know, I'll know
Because you love me so
Yeah
