Good for You
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on my 14 carats
I'm 14 carat
Doing it up like Midas
Now you say I got a touch
So good, so good
Make you never wanna leave
So don't, so don't

Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight
Do my hair up real, real nice
And syncopate my skin to your heart beating

'Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you, oh-oh
I just wanna look good for you, good for you, oh-oh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
Still look good for you, good for you, oh-oh

I'm on my marquise diamonds
I'm a marquise diamond
Could even make that Tiffany jealous
You say I give it to you hard
So bad, so bad
Make you never wanna leave
I won't, I won't

Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight
Do my hair up real, real nice
And syncopate my skin to how you're breathing

'Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you, oh-oh
I just wanna look good for you, good for you, oh-oh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
Still look good for you, good for you, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

Trust me, I can take you there
Trust me, I can take you there
Trust me, I, trust me, I, trust me, I

Hold up, take a minute, love
'Cause I ain't tryna fuck your image up
More than likely mess around in triple cuffs
Stumble 'round town, pull your zipper up
Pants sag like I don't give a
I ain't tryna fuck your business up
And I ain't tryna get you into stuff
But the way you touchin' on me in the club
Rubbin' on my miniature
John Hancock, fuck a signature
Any time I hit it, know she finna fall through
And every time we get up, always end up on the news
Ain't worried 'bout no press, and ain't worried 'bout the next bitch
They love the way you dress and ain't got shit up on you
Jackpot, hit the jackpot
Just met a bad miss without the ass shots, haha
You look good, girl, you know you did good, don't you?
You look good, girl, bet it feel good, don't it? (Haha)

I just wanna look good for you, good for you, oh-oh
Baby, let me be good to you, good to you, oh-oh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
Still look good for you, good for you, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

Trust me, I, trust me, I, trust me, I

Overall Meaning

In Selena Gomez’s song Good for You, the lyrics describe the singer’s desire to look good for her lover. The opening line, “I’m on my 14 carats,” refers to the singer’s indulgent lifestyle and wealth. She compares herself to King Midas, the mythical figure who could turn everything he touched into gold. The next line, “Now you say I got a touch,” can be interpreted as her lover being impressed with her lifestyle, comparing her to the golden touch of Midas.


The chorus takes the focus away from her lavish lifestyle, as she sings about wanting to look good for her partner with her skin-tight dress, hair styled, and skin in syncopation with her partner’s heart. The repetition of the line “I just wanna look good for you” emphasizes her desire to please her lover and demonstrates her determination to be in control of how her image is perceived. The bridge, featuring rapper A$AP Rocky, adds contrast by acknowledging that he doesn’t want to ruin her reputation by showing public displays of affection. The inclusion of Rocky adds a male perspective to the song’s storyline and complements the lyrics Gomez has written.


Overall, the song Good for You is a sultry, confident track where Selena Gomez showcases her vocal range and female empowerment, with the desire to look good for someone she loves. The lyrics, combined with the smooth beat and catchy melody, make it one of Selena Gomez's biggest hits to date.
