"Back to You" is a song by American singer Selena Gomez. It was written by Amy Allen, Benjamin Dherbecourt, Gomez, Micah Premnath, Diederik Van Elsas and Parrish Warrington, while the production was handled by Trackside and Ian Kirkparick. The track was released on May 10, 2018, as the lead single from the soundtrack of the second season of Netflix's original series 13 Reasons Why, a series adaptation of the eponymous book.[1]

Commercially, the song has reached the top 10 in Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Scotland and Slovakia; as well as the top 20 in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the song became Gomez's 15th consecutive top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100, the longest active run of any artist.

Release

Before its official announcement, the song was registered in ASCAP and teased by various US radio stations such as 104.7 KISS FM.[2] Gomez finally confirmed the release through social media on May 1, as well as its inclusion on the soundtrack of the second season of the Netflix's original series 13 Reasons Why, in which she takes part as an executive producer.[3] The song premiered on May 10 in Zane Lowe's Apple Music radio show Beats 1 as the release day's "World Record". She was also interviewed by Lowe and confirmed that her third solo studio album was being completed.[4][5]

Composition

The song was written by Amy Allen, Selena Gomez, Micah Premnath, Diederik Van Elsas and Parrish Warrington. The production was handled by Trackside and Ian Kirkpatrick, the latter also working on Gomez's previous single "Bad Liar".[5] The track has been described as an emotional[5][6] acoustic midtempo[7] with country influences,[6] being also called a "dance-pop anthem"[5][6] and an electropop[1] ballad.[7] Gomez said that it was a "very special record" and that she wanted it to be "a beautiful message in a really complicated way but really fun".[7]

The song is performed in the key of G♯ major with a tempo of 102 beats per minute in cut (2
2) time and follows a chord progression of D♯m–B–F♯. Gomez’ vocals span two octaves, from C♯3 to C♯5.[8]

Music video

A lyric video with scenes of the second season of 13 Reasons Why was released on May 10, 2018.[9]

Release and sypnosis

The official music video was directed by Scott Cudmore.[10] The imagery for the music video is inspired from the 1965 French New Wave film Pierrot le Fou. The music video takes place in a much more fantastical world. It starts with Gomez, dressed in a vintage feather-trimmed green sequined high-neck dress, locking eyes with a sharply suited man (Andrey Kupchenko), and they hop into a convertible and end up frolicking in a bucolic pasture. Gomez wears an ensemble fit for the French countryside: a vintage white skirt and a sleeveless orange-and-yellow crop top. and take Gomez’s twist on iconic ’60s French-girl style as some summer style inspiration.[11]

Nevertheless, Gomez's video, is saturated with Godard's quintessential filmmaking quirks: fragmented editing; characters breaking the fourth wall; melodramatic dialogue; a garish, primary color-focused palette; and cartoonish neorealism. Cinemaphiles will immediately notice parallels, as the music video's opening visual directly mirrors the famous party scene in "Pierrot le Fou," both doused in deep, ever-changing colors. The inane dialogue from side characters serves to highlight the shallow, bourgeois lifestyle that Pierrot wants to escape from. They burn a car. They fall in and out of love.[12]
