Song review of Good for you

This song is anything but predicted pop dance tailor-made for radio. It’s first time Gomez leans towards R&B and invites a rapper to do a verse for her track. Her vocals have never been better. She sounds restrained and understated throughout, but present enough to give the song that extra sexy and seductive vibe it needs. It almost feels like we heard her true, somewhat low and husky voice for the first time on this song. The production is smooth and completely supports the almost hypnotic atmosphere of the chorus. The lyrics about seducing someone by looking good for them are sensual and show a new phase in her career has just started.

Good For You” is the lead single from American singer Selena Gomez‘s second studio album, Revival (2015). It features vocals by American rapper ASAP Rocky. The song was written by Gomez, Julia MichaelsJustin TranterASAP Rocky, Hector Delgado, and its producers Nick Monson and Nolan Lambroza. Originally, the track was conceived by the writers in 45 minutes, during a session booked by the latter. The singer then received the song through the trio’s A&R and was entirely involved in its creative session, helping to develop it as a representation of her process of self-realization, her confidence as a young woman, and her feelings of vulnerability. After it was reworked by Lambroza, she sent the song to Rocky, who added new instruments and co-produced it with his frequent collaborator Hector Delgado, who was in charge of Rocky’s vocal production.
