New Classic
Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh oh
Oh yeah
Ever try to reach for something
But its someone else's dream
Every step that you take forward
It takes you right back where you been
And you tried about everything
Somebody hears your opinions
Somebody cares what you see
You woke me up
No longer tired
With you I feel inspired
You help me find my fire
You're the new classic
You're the new P-Y-T
Stands for paid, young and
Taking on the world from the driver's seat
You look so classic
Fantastic
When you're on that floor
Bring the beat back once more
Let me see you do that
Oh trying to do it right
No rehearsals
It's your life
If your doing this crazy dance
'Cause your making these crazy plans
It's just this is not a test
You put in work to be the best (oh)
(Oh) it's a classic take
On a brand new game
Before the needle drops
They're gonna know your name
When it gets old don't lose the light
You're cold I'll warm you up
(You up) your fire is hot enough (enough) enough (enough)
You're the new classic
You're the new p-y-t
Stands for paid young and taking on the world
From the driver's seat
Trying everything just to touch your dreams
You look so classic fantastic
When you're on that floor
Bring the beat back once more (bring it back) (once more)
Let me see you do that
It's become so hard
For me to be surprised
You're bringing back the real me
No judgment in your eyes
'Cause when I dance with you
It's how I speak the truth
Just classic when me met
Now you make me new
You're the new classic
You're the new p-y-t
'Cause you're pay young and
Taking on the world from the drivers seat

The lyrics to Selena Gomez's "New Classic" are all about reaching for your dreams and finding someone who inspires and supports you along the way. The opening lines describe the frustration of trying to pursue your goals, only to find that they seem to belong to someone else.

This is where the song's positive, upbeat message comes in - it's all about finding that person who sees your potential and helps you to become the best version of yourself.
The chorus is where the song's title comes from, as Selena sings that her partner is the "new classic" - someone who stands out as a unique, inspiring individual.
