"Come & Get It"
Song

"Come & Get It" is a song recorded by American singer Selena Gomez for her solo debut studio album, Stars Dance (2013). The song was written by Ester Dean, M.S. Eriksen, and T.E. Hermansen[3] and was produced by Stargate.[4][5] The vocals were produced by Dreamlab. "Come & Get It" was released as an official single on April 7, 2013 after previously premiering on Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show.[6] "Come & Get It" features a change in style from Gomez's previous releases, and features elements of electropop and Indian music.[7] The song's lyrics speak of a female lover's attempt to rekindle a previously ended romance.[8] Following the song's release, there was much media speculation as to whom the song was written about.[9]

Upon its release, "Come & Get It" received positive reviews from music critics. The song was praised for its musical diversity,[10] as well as its Bhangra beat,[11] its "Bollywood" themes and lyrical content.[12] The song also had a strong commercial success, peaking inside the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100.[12] It also rose to a peak of number two on the Pop Songs chart, based on radio airplay.[13] This made "Come & Get It" Gomez's first single to enter the Top 10 of the Hot 100, with all of her previous musical efforts failing to achieve this feat. The song also had success in Canada, entering the Top 10 of the Canadian Hot 100 chart.[14] In New Zealand, the song peaked inside the Top 20 of the singles chart.[15] "Come & Get It" was released on July 14 in the United Kingdom for digital download. It reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart on July 21 in the first week.

The song's music video premiered on MTV on May 7, 2013.[16] The video, much like the single, featured Indian influences and saw Gomez performing the song in various different outfits.[17] Throughout the video, Gomez performs a dance routine used during the song's various live performances.[18] The video has received positive critical reception. Gomez has performed the single at many events, performing it for the first time at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards and later at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards. These performances were met with controversy due to Gomez wearing a bindi during various live renditions of the song.[19] "Come & Get It" is also set to be performed on the Stars Dance Tour, set to run through 2013.[20][21]

Background

"I just remember recording it and being in the studio and just thinking of how the place I was in and what I was going through and I was just so excited about it and I wanted it to be the first single."

— Gomez on recording "Come & Get It".[22]

Gomez first signed with Hollywood Records in 2008, opting rather to form a band than release solo material.[23] This led to the formation of Selena Gomez & the Scene, which featured Gomez on lead vocals.[24] With the group, Gomez released a total of three studio albums and seven official singles,[25][26] three of which received Platinum certifications from the RIAA.[27] Following this, Gomez confirmed that the band would take a hiatus throughout 2012 to allow Gomez to focus on her acting career.[28] In October of that year, however, Gomez began working on new music, later revealed to be her debut solo album.[29][30] "Come & Get It" was initially written by Ester Dean and produced bysong-writing team Stargate, who made the song for Barbadian singer Rihanna's sixth studio album Talk That Talk (2012).[31][32] For unknown reasons, Rihanna did not record the song, thus it was given to Gomez for her debut album.[33] In March 2013, Gomez confirmed that the album's lead single, "Come & Get It", would be released on April 8, 2013.[34] Despite this, the song later leaked online on April 6.[35] This prompted Gomez to release the song early,[36][37] with "Come & Get It" becoming available for digital download on April 7, 2013 two days ahead of its scheduled release date.[38] An extended play featuring six remixes of the song was later released digitally on May 28, 2013.[39] Following the release of the song, it was speculated that Gomez had referenced her relationship with pop singer Justin Bieber in many of the song's lyrics.[40][41] Gomez later denied these rumors, stating the song wasn't about "a specific person."[42] Gomez later said of the song "The reason why I wanted this to be the first single was because it exudes [...] confidence and strength and that is something I'm willing to share with the world, that's the place I want to be in, I want to represent something good and be a good example."[43]

"Come & Get It" is an electropop song that lasts for a total of three minutes and fifty-one seconds.[44] The song is composed in the key of G minor[45] and features a moderate tempo of 80 beats per minute.[46] Gomez's vocal range spans from the low tone of G3 to the high note of Bb4.[47] The song opens with a "Bollywood inspired" theme,[48] before transitioning into a more electropop influenced sound.[49] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy said the song featured a "dirty, fuzzy bassline" and "grinding beats and one-night-stand synths" before comparing it to recent releases by Rihanna.[50] MTV also compared it to work by Rihanna, and stated the song was a "whirling mix of tablas and robo-vocals."[51] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone said the song was an "unimpeachably catchy big-pop stomp, with come-hither lyrics and a string of moody vocal hooks."[52] "Come & Get It" was noted as featuring a more mature side to Gomez, who was 20 at the time of its release.[53] The song lyrically speaks of Gomez's hopes of rekindling a former romance, stating she is ready when he's willing to "come and get it."[54] Gomez stated that she had hoped to "create something fun, sassy, and playful, but unexpected" with the song.[55]

Critical reception

After being released, the song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who noted Gomez's maturing image and new sound. Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly described it as "an easy, breezy tune with an ambling melody and a hint of reggae lilt."[56] Jessica Sager of Popcrush gave it a mixed review, stating that "the track is a change and a shift, and it was a risk. Gomez may win new fans with the song since it’s pretty far outside of her usual bubblegum Disney box, and her loyal Selenators will likely eat it up regardless. However, for fans of pure pop, they may want to stick with her ex boyfriend".[57] Meanwhile, Bradley Stern of MuuMuse.com has referenced it as one of Rihanna's tracks from her sixth studio album Talk That Talk but gave it a positive review, stating that “Come & Get It” is fairly monotone, but repeat listens reveal the song’s infectiousness: The chorus–especially with that stuttered chant at the end–is pure sticky pop goodness, the stomping beat is smutty enough to inspire a sick strut, and that whirring Bollywood-meets-tribal-electro synth sound lends itself well to some grind-up-against-the-wall make-out action up in the club."[citation needed] On-air personality, Peter Dee said, "her breathy vocals are just what the song needed to fuse the Bollywood and electro-pop sound, and make it work."[58] First Stop News reacted positively, calling it an "infectious summer hit" and a "wise choice" as the album's lead single, and stated that the lyrical content was inspiring. The song was declared two times Platinum by RIAA.[59]

Music video

The video had its world premiere on May 7, 2013 on MTV.[16] It starts off with Gomez in a meadow of Texas bluebonnets wearing a black dress at the start of a storm. It then shows waves, a close shot of Gomez and the man she loves. She then starts singing and she wears a red dress while dancing moves that she has performed in various live performances of the song. It then shows images of Gomez emerging in water, sliding between mirrors, in the same meadow wearing a tan dress, and her Indian dancers. The video then ends with Gomez in the same meadow wearing her black dress lying in the grass as the storm fades. It was directed by Anthony Mandler, known for his frequent collaborations with Rihanna.[60]

Five videos of five remixes of the song were uploaded to Gomez's VEVO on June 18, 2013.[61]

As of August 17, the video has gained over 108 hundred million views, making her the third fastest place of reaching VEVO Certified. It was also the fifth VEVO Certified single by Gomez, with "Naturally", "A Year Without Rain", "Who Says", "Love You Like A Love Song" and finally "Come and Get It".

The video was awarded the Best Pop Music Video Award at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
