"Come & Get It"
Song

"Come & Get It" is a song by American recording artist Selena Gomez, taken from her upcoming debut solo album. It was released on April 7, 2013[3] by Hollywood Records as the lead single from the album.[4] The song was written by Ester Dean, Mikkel S. Eriksen, and Tor E. Hermansen and was produced by StarGate. "Come & Get It" is a mid-tempo pop song with elements of Indian music.[1]

Upon its release, "Come & Get It" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its musical diversity from Gomez's previous work.

Background

Initially scheduled for release on April 8, 2013, On Air with Ryan Seacrest began streaming "Come & Get It" online after being leaked earlier that day.[5]

Gomez has denied it is about her ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber.[6]

Critical reception

After being released, the song received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who noted her 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."[7] 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". [8] 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."
