Uh uh yeah ow he
Ice ice
Hahaha
You won’t know anything unless you try
Might end up falling but you just might find ohhhhhh
You know its all about what you believe
And maybe something extra up your sleeve
Listen what I say
Nothings getting in my way
There’s no fear that can stop us and no reason to delay
Gonna give it all we got
Yeah we ain’t afraid to pay
So watch out boy were gonna make it happen
I won’t be whining ‘bout what might have been
You know I’m not to big on giving in (oh yeah)
I use what ever spell the law allows
That is of course if I knew how (and she does whoa)
Listen what I say
Nothings getting in my way
There’s no fear that can stop us and no reason to delay
Gonna give it all we got
Yeah we ain’t afraid to pay
So watch out boy were gonna make it happen
Were not afraid to fall yeah were going for it all
There’s a method to our madness
Yeah were answering the call
If we use a little magic
Well we really can’t recall
All I know is were gonna make it happen
In this song, Selena Gomez presents a message of empowerment, encouraging her audience to believe in themselves and take action towards their goals, regardless of the potential risks and obstacles. She opens with the idea that one cannot know what they are capable of achieving without trying, and that taking a chance could lead to positive outcomes. The verses suggest that confidence and determination are key to success and that even if one experiences failure, they should not dwell on missed opportunities. The message of perseverance is mirrored in the chorus, where the lyrics state that fear cannot prevent one from achieving their aspirations. Gomez affirms that she will work tirelessly towards realizing her dreams and will not let the possibility of failure discourage her. Throughout the song, Selena Gomez asserts herself as one who will strive towards her goals and encourage her listeners to do the same.
The song highlights a theme of risk-taking, where the artist encourages her audience to push past their fears and persevere. Selena’s use of repetition in the chorus creates a sense of urgency and determination, while the occasional rap interjections add a unique twist. The track is an uptempo dance-pop anthem, with a pulsating electronic beat that underscores the energy of the lyrics. “Make It Happen” was written by Selena Gomez, David Jost, and Martin Kleveland, with production by Revolving Music and David Jost. The song was released in 2012 as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of Selena’s third studio album, “When The Sun Goes Down.”

We can make the impossible possible. Impossible is invented by someone who's mind is not together with the heart. Trust me anything is possible and if you want magic we can make magic anytime🧡💍🌠 p.s. Selena you must know you make me happy every day and you're the reason i get happy with the things you do. It's something i truly can't describe in words. The best way to describe it would be love and way beyond with endless roads. Even if they are winding roads with darkness. Stumble and fall untill we find the beautifull view we have always been looking for. I love you and let's keep going! Have my heart of love for and throw away the key into the deep where no one can reach. And one more thing is that we need more people like you. Not exactly like you because that's the only thing that's impossible but the way you think of helping people like UNICEF fund and all the other things. It fills my heart with joy and i truly hope they can get a plate of food every day so they can have a job and dreams too. Untill then i won't think about my dreams. Thank you all and thank you the most Selena Marie Gomez. My brightest star even in the darkest place 🌟🌠🧡
