Good For You
Selen Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm 14 carat
Doing it up like Midas, mmm
Now you say I got a touch
So good, so good
Make you never wanna leave
So don't (so don't)
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, uh-huh
I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
And still look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
I'm in my marquise diamonds
I'm a marquise diamond
Could even make that Tiffany jealous, mmm.
You say I give it to you hard
So bad, so bad
Make you never wanna leave
I won't (I won't)
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, uh-huh
I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
And still look good for you, good for you, uh-huh, uh-huh
Trust me, I can take you there
Trust me, I can take you there
Trust me I, trust me I, trust me I
Hold on, take a minute, love
'Cause I ain't trying to 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 trying to fuck your fitness up
And I ain't trying to get you into stuff
But the way you touchin' on me in the club
Rubbin' on my miniature
John Hancock, fuck the signature
Any time I hit it, know she feelin' for it 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 chick
They love the way you dress and ain't got shit up on you
Jackpot, hit the jackpot (Whoo!)
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?
I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
Baby, let me be good to you, good to you, uh-huh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
And still look good for you, good for you, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Trust me, I, trust me, I, trust me, I
In the first verse of "Good For You" by Selena Gomez, she sings about being in her "14 carats," which is a reference to her feeling valuable and precious like a diamond. She wants to look good for her lover and show him how much she cares about him. She mentions wanting to wear a dress that he likes, to do her hair up nice, and to syncopate her skin to his heartbeat. This line means that she wants to be in tune with him and be connected to him in every way possible. She also mentions that she wants to leave her dress on the floor and still look good because she cares about how she presents herself to her partner.
In the second verse, she sings about being in her "marquise diamonds," referencing herself as a valuable jewel. She mentions that her lover loves how hard she gives it to him, and she won't ever leave him. She wants to syncopate her skin to his breathing and wants to show him that she is proud to be his by leaving her dress on the floor. She states that she knows how she looks and feels about herself, but she still wants to appear good for her partner.
The bridge adds an element of vulnerability in the lyrics where the male artist, A$AP Rocky, sings about knowing how he can mess up Selena's image but assures her that he won't. He mentions that he isn't worried about the press or another woman because he appreciates how unique and valuable Selena is.
Overall, "Good For You" is a song about a woman who wants to look good and be in tune with her partner. It's about accepting and loving oneself while being vulnerable yet confident in a relationship.
