Selena Gomez Knows She’ll Find Love Again in ‘Look at Her Now’ Video: Watch
Selena Gomez surprised fans by dropping a second breakup song, "Look at Her Now."
After releasing the emotional ballad "Lose You to Love Me," a track widely speculated to be about her relationship with on-again-off-again ex Justin Bieber, the singer unveiled another single and music video on Wednesday night (October 23) — but this time, it's about moving on and knowing she'll find love again.
In a statement on YouTube, the pop star explained, "I was so excited to release two songs back to back and surprise my fans! It’s a reminder that you can rise no matter what challenges life brings."
Then, over on Twitter, she wrote: "And here's my special gift to all of my ride or dies! I created this with Apple especially for you. Y'all have been through it all with me and I thank you for pushing me to be the best."
The song's music video, which was shot on an iPhone 11 Pro and directed by Sophie Muller, sees Gomez dance through her heartbreak as she performs with a crew of backup dancers in a room filled with flashing neon lights.
Check out Selena Gomez's "Look at Me Now" music video, below:
Once again, fans think the track is about how Bieber treated her and allegedly cheated on her (because of lyrics like "It was her first real lover/ His too 'til he had another"), which is something Taylor Swift hinted at a few months ago. Below, you can deep dive into the lyrics yourself and find all the possible references to the "Sorry" singer.
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
They fell in love one summer
A little too wild for each other
Shiny 'til it wasn't
Feels good 'til it doesn't
It was her first real lover
His too 'til he had another
Oh, God, when she found out
Trust levels went way down
[Pre-Chorus]
Of course she was sad
But now she's glad she dodged a bullet (Mm)
Took a few years to soak up the tears
But look at her now, watch her go
[Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Look at her now, watch her go
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Wow, look at her now
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Look at her now, watch her go
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Wow, look at her now
[Post-Chorus]
Wow, look at her now
[Verse 2]
Fast nights that got him
That new life was his problem
Not saying she was perfect
Still regrets that moment
Like that night
Wasn't wrong, wasn't right, yeah
What a thing to be human (What a thing to be human)
Made her more of woman (Made her more of a woman)
[Pre-Chorus]
Of course she was sad
But now she's glad she dodged a bullet (Mm)
Took a few years to soak up the tears
But look at her now, watch her go
[Chorus]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Look at her now, watch her go
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Wow, look at her now (Look at her now)
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Look at her now, watch her go
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm
Wow, look at her now
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah)
Wow, look at her now (Look at her now)
(Look at her now)
Wow, look at her now
[Bridge]
She knows she'll find love (She knows)
Only if she wants it
She knows she'll find love (She knows)
She knows she'll find love (She knows)
Only if she wants it
She knows she'll find love (She knows)
On the up from the way down
Look at her now, watch her go
[Outro]
Mm-mm, look at her now, mm-mm (Oh)
She knows she'll find love (She knows she will)
Only if she wants it
She knows she'll find love
Look at her now, yeah (Look at her now)
She knows she'll find love (She knows she will)
Only if she wants it
She knows she'll find love
Wow, look at her now
Though Gomez has yet to officially announce the release date for her forthcoming album, fans can probably expect SG2 to be released sometime before the end of the year.
