Read Full Bio"Hands to Myself" is a song recorded by American singer Selena Gomez for her second studio album, Revival (2015). The track was written by Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, and its producers Mattman & Robin and Max Martin. It was inspired to add fresh, female perspective to the album and was influenced by the music of Prince. "Hands to Myself" is an upbeat dance-pop and synthpop song, backed by lightly clicking percussion, hand claps, a dark guitar riff and "tribal pop" synths. Gomez uses both her higher vocal register for belting, as well as her lower range breathy vocals in an octave just above a whisper. She clips her enunciation of the lyrics which detail a come-hither.

"Hands to Myself" was serviced to contemporary hit radio in the US on January 26, 2016, as the third single from Revival. Music critics were complimentary about Gomez's versatile vocal performance and the track's uncharacteristic production and lyrics. Commercially, "Hands to Myself" has reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, and the top 10 in Canada, New Zealand and Slovakia. It also managed to reach the top 20 in Australia and the United Kingdom.

An accompanying music video directed by Alek Keshishian was premiered as an Apple Music exclusive on December 21, 2015. The video depicts a film of Gomez dressed in lingerie playing a stalker of a Hollywood actor. Critics commended the video's cinematography and Gomez's appearance, hailing it as her sexiest and most revealing visual yet. Gomez promoted "Hands to Myself" with a televised performances on the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and Saturday Night Live. The song has also been lip-synced to by the Victoria's Secret Angels in a promotional video, and used in Beats Electronics' commercial for their Beats Pill portable speaker. In 2016, the song was used in a television commercial for Pantene.

Hands to Myself
by Selena Gomez

Can't keep my hands to myself
No matter how hard I'm trying to
I want you all to myself
You're metaphorical gin and juice
So come on, give me a taste
Of what it's like to be next to you
Won't let one drop go to waste
You're metaphorical gin and juice

All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, but I

Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself

My doctor say you're no good
But people say what they wanna say
And you should know if I could
I'd breathe you in every single day

'Cause all of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, trying
All of the downs and the uppers
Keep making love to each other
And I'm trying, trying, I'm trying, but I

Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself

Can't keep my hands to myself
I want it all, no, nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
Give me your all and nothing else
Oh, I, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
Can't keep my hands to myself
I mean I could, but why would I want to?

My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
My hands to myself
Can't keep my hands to myself
I want it all, no, nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
Give me your all and nothing else
Can't keep my hands to myself
