Selena Gomez - Same Old Love
Selena Gomez sings of heartache and the anguish that comes with an ending of a relationship in this 2015 single from her second studio album Revival.
Yet this is not one of those sad and drowned in the melodrama torch songs – she embraces the pain and lets it empower her to move on, walks out the door and steps up onto the stage.
Her fans have inferred that the song is about the breakdown of her relationship with Justin Bieber. However Selena has a different take on the song.
In an interview with Radio Disney during the launch of the album, she said, "I think "Same Old Love" represents a different kind of identity with love.
The first people you love in your life are your parents. So for me, my dad is the first male figure I had in my life.
And how much it means to respect your parents and have a healthy relationship with them because it trails on into your relationships when you're older."
Selena is referring to her strained relationship with her father and how it reflects on her other relationships in life and the choices she has made.
Released on the 10th of September 2015 as an instant digital download only format, with pre-order option on iTunes, "Same Old Love" has more than 299 million views on YouTube,with 2.6 million likes.
"Same Old Love" is written by Benny Blanco, Charli XCX, Ross Golan and Stargate. Charli XCX told Grazia Australia that Selena had brought the “song to life” and hence she offered Gomez to sing it.
Gomez does pull a more mature raspiness to this electro pop song; she’s accompanied by XCX on background vocals. The Stargate duo have provided the synth-driven production, which features an old-time piano loop.
This moody single is accompanied by a music video directed by Michael Haussman (Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack", Madonna's "Take a Bow"). Selena is en route to a concert, sitting in the car, looking outside on life through her rain-specked window.
She passes by people caught in their everyday life situations and their relationships - an onlooker to their pain and the love that underlines it all. She recognizes these myriad shades in a relationship, the cyclical nature of love.
At one point Selena gets off her car and walks through the city. Haussman told MTV News that he was inspired by jazz legend Tony Bennett who used to walk to his concerts.
The video ends with Gomez reaching the concert venue, taking centre stage, with excited fans cheering on. This final part was filmed when Gomez performed the single for the first time at the "Revival Event" in Los Angeles.
"Same Old Love" held peak position of #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2015-16. It has sold over 2M copies worldwide.
Revival album is certified Platinum by RIAA. It marks the young singer’s attempt to create a new mould for herself. As she says, the album is “kind of the moment when you're shedding everything from the past".
Selena Gomez – Same Old Love - Lyrics
Release Date - September 10th, 2015
Album - Revival
Take away your things and go
You can't take back what you said, I know
I've heard it all before, at least a million times
I'm not one to forget, you know
I don't believe, I don't believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees
Right now, 'ow
I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I'm not spending any time, wasting tonight on you
I know, I've heard it all
So don't you try and change your mind
Cause I won't be changing too, you know
You can't believe, still can't believe it
You left in peace, left me in pieces
Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees
Right now, 'ow
I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that, so sick of that love
I'm so sick of that same old love, that shit, it tears me up
I'm so sick of that same old love, my body's had enough
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
I'm so sick of that same old love, feels like I've blown apart
I'm so sick of that same old love, the kind that breaks your heart
Oh, (that same old love)
Oh, (that same old love)
