Back To You
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Took you like a shot
Thought that I could chase you with a cold evening
Let a couple years water down how I'm feeling about you
(Feeling about you)
And every time we talk
Every single word builds up to this moment
And I gotta convince myself I don't want it
Even though I do (even though I do)

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true

I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you

We never got it right
Playing and replaying old conversations
Overthinking every word and I hate it
'Cause it's not me ('cause it's not me)
And what's the point in hiding?
Everybody knows we got unfinished business
And I'll regret it if I didn't say
This isn't what it could be (isn't what it could be)

You could break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true

I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
I'd go back to you
I'd go back to you
What was there wasn't sure
But I'd go back to you
I know I'd go back to you

You can break my heart in two
But when it heals, it beats for you
I know it's forward, but it's true
Won't lie, I'd go back to you
You know, my thoughts are running loose
It's just a thing you make me do
And I could fight, but what's the use?
I know I'd go back to you

I wanna hold you when I'm not supposed to
When I'm lying close to someone else
You're stuck in my head and I can't get you out of it
If I could do it all again
I know I'd go back to you
I'd go back to you
I'll go back to you
I know I'd go back to you
(I'd go back to you, I'd go back to you)
I know I'd go back to you
(Go back to you, go back to you)




(Go back to you, go back to you)
(Go back to you, go back to you)

Overall Meaning

The song "Back To You" by Selena Gomez is about the complexities of love and relationships. In the first verse, she talks about how she thought she could forget about her love interest, but even after years of not being together, she still has feelings for him. She admits to wanting him back even though she knows she shouldn't. In the chorus, she talks about how he could break her heart, but even when she heals from the pain, her heart still beats for him. She acknowledges that her feelings are forward, or perhaps even irrational, but she cannot deny the truth of her emotions.


In the second verse, Selena talks about how their relationship was never quite right. They overthink their conversations and are not themselves around each other. Despite this, everyone knows that they have unfinished business. Selena regrets not saying what needed to be said and acknowledges that their relationship could have been different. In the bridge, Selena speaks directly to her love interest, saying that his mere presence in her life makes her thoughts run wild, and she knows that even if she tried to fight it, she would always come back to him.


Overall, "Back To You" presents a relatable message about the difficulties of letting go of a past love, even when it may not be the healthiest choice. It shows how even after a relationship ends, feelings can still linger and that it is often hard to move on.

@SelenaGomezIlluminati

Selena is a deceiver & a hypocrite. She craves FAME & WEALTH & wants to be in the SPOTLIGHT ALWAYS. Sold her SOUL long time AGO & FOOLED the world for YEARS. TIME THE TRUTH GOT EXPOSED. Profile pic is number 666 (AntiChrist) same Illuminati symbolism that Lady Gaga, Justin, Dua Lipa & so on used.

Selena Gomez admitted to having a "pizza" party on Ellen with Jennifer Anniston & we all know why they always talk about pizza parties. SELENA & 99% OF THE OTHER CELEBS ARE PART OF THE ILLUMINATI 🔺

Pizza is CODE in Hollyweird. Even Obama/Hilary Clinton also used that term aka Pizzagate which means adrenochrome which means they torture/kill children to harvest the chemical adrenochrome from their blood.

ONLY 1% WALK WITH GOD.

Illuminati/elite runs the show. Universal, Feds, Prison systems, NBA, NFL. Kpop, Disney & Hollywood 🔺
Entertainment industry heavily controlled by SATAN (LUCIFER)
Companies work for the ELITES. WAKE UP CALL & PEOPLE NEED TO OPEN THEIR EYES
