Songfacts®:

This is the title track of dance-pop act Selena Gomez & The Scene's third album. Selena explained to Billboard magazine the record was named after it, "because it goes perfectly with describing the whole album and the album artwork."
Joey Clement, who is the bassist of The Scene as well as a member of the American band Midwest Kings, gave the song to Selena. Said the Wizards of Waverly Place star to Billboard magazine: "It's really special to my bass player, Joey, who wrote it. And I got to rewrite the bridge of it as well. It felt like we got to do that as a band."
The song was produced by Stefan Abingdon of UK comedy group The Midnight Beast. They are most famous for their YouTube cover-parody of Kesha's "TiK ToK,"which reached #4 on the Australian singles chart. This was the first song that Abingdon produced for another act.
