◘◘◘◘◘ ◘◘◘◘◘ The entries has been found, and the opening for votes has just begun! Selena Gomez is now ready to recieve your votes! She needs your help of deciding which songs of her 6 entries will be the representing entry for the US state of Texas ENTRY NO. 1 "A YEAR WITHOUT RAIN" "A Year Without Rain" is a dance ballad, written by Toby Gad and Lindy Robbins
Musically, the track uses a standard pop structure and derives from the genre of Eurodance, backed with a techno beat.
Lyrically, the song sees Gomez longing for the object of her affection and compares it to a year without rain: I need you by my side, Don't know how I'll survive, A day without you is like a year without rain.
According to Megan Vick of Billboard, the sound of the song contrasts with its "tender" lyrics.
Although he called it one of the album's "pensive moments", Bill Lamb of About.com noted the track as one of the top songs on the album, calling it a "beautiful dance ballad." Lamb also said the song shows "Selena Gomez is clearly growing up as an artist." Stating that it showed her "maturation as an artist", Lamb later ranked the song #39 on the site's list of "Top 100 Pop Songs of 2010". Allmusic's Tim Sendra also named the song a standout on the album, calling it "catchy" and "well-sung".
The song also won 100 million views-award from VEVO Certified back in 2012.
Propelled by its debut at #14 on the Hot Digital Songs chart, "A Year Without Rain" debuted at #35 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's third consecutive Top 40-single.
If you want to see Entry no. 1 win, please rate it among the higher points than the other 5 songs ENTRY NO. 2 "COME & GET IT" "Come & Get It" is an electropop song written and produced by StarGate and Ester Dean
The song opens with a 'Bollywood inspired' theme, before transitioning into a more electropop influenced sound.
Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone described: The song is an unimpeachably catchy big-pop stomp, with come-hither lyrics and a string of moody vocal hooks.
"Come & Get It" was noted as featuring a more mature side to Gomez, who was 20 at the time of its release. 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". Gomez stated that she had hoped to "create something fun, sassy, and playful, but unexpected" with the song.
The song also had a strong commercial success, peaking inside the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100. It also rose to a peak of #2 on the Pop Songs chart, based on radio airplay. 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.
At 30th annual MTV Video Music Awards (2013), the song won Best Pop Video, as well as winning the Choice Break-Up Song at the 2013-Teen Choice Awards! If you want to see Entry no. 2 win, please rate it among the higher points than the other 5 songs ENTRY NO. 3 "LOVE YOU LIKE A LOVE SONG" This song was written by Antonina Armato and Tim James while both receive production credits under the stage-name Rock Mafia, The song, according to Gomez, was meant to sound different from her previous material, achieving a "high fashion" sound. "Love You like a Love Song" is a midtempo electropop song that incorporates an electrofunk and Euro disco rhythm and pulsing beats. The lyrics deal with a relationship in its primary stage.
"Love You Like a Love Song" was a success in North America, peaking at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the Canadian Hot 100. It stands as the band's most successful single in the US, lasting the longest on the chart, selling more than 2 million copies and earning a double-platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (abbrev. RIAA).
The song won 100.000.000 Views, Choice Music: Love Song, Shot Love Song-award from respectively VEVO Certified, Teen Choice Awards and Shot Music Awards.
If you want to see Entry no. 3 win, please rate it among the higher points than the other 5 songs ENTRY NO. 4 "NATURALLY" The song was produced by Antonina Armato and Tim James who wrote the song with Devrim Karaoğlu. Musically, "Naturally" is an uptempo pop song which relies on electropop and dance-pop styles. The song's lyrics speak of a relationship in which feelings are not forced and the protagonist sings of their happiness.
As their first song to impact radio in the US, it reached #29 on the Billboard Hot 100, #12 on the Pop Songs chart, and it topped the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It was later certified Platinum in the United States by the RIAA and in Canada by the CRIA.
If you want to see Entry no. 4 win, please rate it among the higher points than the other 5 songs ENTRY NO. 5 "SLOW DOWN" The song was produced by The Cataracs and David Kuncio. "Slow Down" is a high-octane, uptempo dance-pop and EDM (Electronic Dance Music) song, that has been described as "wobbly club thumper" by Robert Copsey of Digital Spy. It features a dubstep pre-chorus, funk guitars, a four on the floor beat, and a spoken word outro. Lyrically, the song speaks of taking a relationship slowly rather than rushing into things, with Gomez singing:
Can we take it nice and slow, slow / Break it down and drop it low, low / Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights 'til you can't let me go.
In the US, the song peaked at #27, and has been certified Gold by RIAA for selling over 500.000 units of the single in the country. On the Pop Songs component chart, it entered the Top 10 and reached the position of #7.
