"The Heart Wants What It Wants"
Song

"The Heart Wants What It Wants" is a song by American recording artist Selena Gomez from her 2014 compilation album For You. It was released on November 6, 2014 by Hollywood Records as the lead single from the record. It was written and produced by Antonina Armato and Tim James, who collectively form the production duo Rock Mafia; additional songwriting was provided by Selena Gomez and David Jost.[2][3] A mid-tempo pop track with minimal electropop and trip hop beats[4] as well as R&B influences, its accompanying music video was premiered on November 6, 2014, alongside the premiere of the song itself.[5][6]

Background and release

Gomez said about the song, "And it's also a step for me knowing like, 'Ok, this is what I'm about to say, and I need to say it when I'm ready' [...] And I think after this year, it's the perfect way to end the year, it's the perfect way to end a chapter in a way. It's like, this is what I'll say about every single person that has judged me for every decision that I've made, for every person, [and] heart that is being judge for something they've done, and now I just want to release it," Gomez stated in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on 102.7 KIIS FM during the world premiere of "The Heart Wants What It Wants."[7] In its first day on radio, the song had a listening audience of 10.061 million.[8]

The song received critical acclaim by critics for its lyrics, production, vocals and new direction, compared to Gomez's previous efforts. Lucas Villa of AXS favorably compared "The Heart Wants What it Wants" to the music of Lana Del Rey for Gomez's use of "trip hop beats, guitar and distorted Emile Haynie-styled yelps" alongside her "darkest" lyrics yet. He further wrote that the song "stands as a heartbreaking revelation in her five-year-old songbook, one that's vulnerably beautiful and unapologetically honest."[9] Tim Sendra of Allmusic highlighted the song and praised it by calling it "very adult and real-sounding" and adding that "she acquits herself well here too."[10] Popology Now called this song "emotionally charged."[11]

Idolater praised the song: "The Rock Mafia-produced gem shows the former teen queen in an entirely new light. There’s a vulnerability we haven’t seen before as Selena sings about the dark-side of her very own fairytale with palpable honesty and conviction" and the editor called it the selling point of an album and added that if Selena follows this direction, many hits will be coming for her.[12] The Times of India editor Kasmin Fernandes added that this song shows her in an "entirely new light."[13] Renowned for Sound was also positive: "smooth dose of pop with a second guessing love storyline."[14] When reviewing single, Music Times concluded: "Emotional song channels Justin Bieber drama but is still stunning on its own."[15]

Live performances

Gomez performed the single at the American Music Awards of 2014 for the first time.[16]

Music video

The music video was filmed in black and white and directed by Dawn Shadforth over a year before its release.[17] The video received over nine million views in its first 24 hours. Actor Shiloh Fernandez appears in the music video as Gomez's love interest.[8] The UK edition of the International Business Times called the video "emotionally charged".[18] The video has received over 100,000,000 views and was Vevo certified before the end of 2014.
