I wanna steal you for a rhythm and affection

(It's the Cataracts)
The chorus of "Slow Down" by Selena Gomez calls for listeners to relax and take their time in a partying environment. The lyrics say: "I just wanna feel your body right next to mine / All night long, baby, slow down the song / And when it's coming closer to the end, hit rewind / All night long, baby, slow down the song." Selena is seductive in her vocals, matching the song's uptempo beat. She makes it a point to let a special someone know that she's interested in getting to know them better. Selena sings about "stealing" them just for a night and "capturing" their attention with a "first impression." She also references Mr. T in the lyrics, with a tribute to The A-Team's famous quote: "I pity the fool," as she sings, "Mr. T said, 'I’m ready for inspection / Show me how you make a first impression.'"
In the verse, Selena implores that her partner slow things down, as they party all night long to the song's rhythm, and asks for the music to never stop. The song lyrics are supplemented by an electrifying beat, which The Cataracts produced. The overall message of “Slow Down” is straightforward, as Selena Gomez believes that life shouldn't always be so fast-paced, and that slowing down can help people appreciate those special moments.
