Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm one in a billion, baby, don't you agree?
Obviously, you know, I'm aware of it
I'm breakin' hearts like a heart attack
Got him right where the carat's at
Wrapped 'round my finger like a ring, ring, ring
They just like puppets on a string, string, string
They doin' way too much
So I'll just let it ring, ring, ring (Ooh-ooh)
Yeah, I received your message, all 23 (23)
You know I'm Jordan with it, G-O-A-T (G-O-A-T)
Obviously, you know, I'm aware of it
I'm breakin' hearts like a heart attack
I got him right where the carat's at (Yeah)
Wrapped 'round my finger like a ring, ring, ring
They just like puppets on a string, string, string
I put it down, they call me up
They doin' way too much
So I'll just let it ring, ring, ring
Wrapped 'round my finger like a ring, ring, ring
He wanna give me everything, thing, thing?
I put it down, they call me up
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
So I'll just let it ring, ring, ring
Circlin' me, they just like satellites (Ooh)
Circlin' me all day and every night (Ooh, yeah)
Circlin' me, I'm sure you sympathize (Ooh)
A-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Ooh)
Oh, na-na
Wrapped 'round my finger like a ring, ring, ring
They just like puppets on a string, string, string
I put it down, they call me up
They doin' way too much
So I'll just let it ring, ring, ring
Wrapped 'round my finger like a ring, ring, ring
They wanna give me everything, thing, thing
I put it down, they call me up
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
So I'll just let it ring, ring, ring
At a glance, Selena Gomez's 'Ring' is a song that speaks about the power she holds over the opposite sex. She proudly proclaims how the men are all immersed in their feelings about her and how she's well aware of the substantial influence she has over them. She compares herself to being one in a billion, indicating that she's unique, and there is no one else like her. The verse "I'm breaking hearts like a heart attack, I got him right where the carat's at" suggests that she holds the power dynamics in relationships and can manipulate situations to her advantage. The chorus is catchy with the hook that goes, "Wrapped 'round my finger like a ring, ring, ring, They just like puppets on a string, string, string, I put it down, they call me up, They doin' way too much, So I'll just let it ring, ring, ring," which indicates how easily she can control men, and they dance according to her tunes.
Selena continues to assert her dominance through the song, emphasizing how she doesn't care about the men who keep circling her like satellites. She makes her boundaries clear, and although the men may want to give her everything and be with her, she keeps them at a distance, letting it ring.
In conclusion, 'Ring' is a song that shows Selena Gomez's confidence in her feminine energy and the power she holds over the opposite sex. It is about taking control of the situation and knowing what one wants in a relationship. The song's chorus is catchy and infectious with its hook "ring, ring, ring," and it plays nicely with the theme of dominance in relationships.

You know, she has another song in Spanish that she released in 2021 titled "Adios" (Goodbye) that talks about an ex-lover who after breaking up still calls her at "3 in the morning", too bad that video doesn't have English subs activated because the lyrics are quite interesting and revealing.
But some of the lyrics go like this:
"I've been told by your friends that you don't wanna know about me anymore,
That you no longer miss our routine, and that your life goes better without me,
So why then do you keep demanding, asking me "How? and with who?"
Calling me at 3 in the morning when I have already forgotten you."
"...That picture I uploaded wasn't for you, just wanted u to know"
"...Don't annoy me with none sense words, if I left you on "Read" Why are you calling?"
"I already said my goodbyes before, GOODBYE!"
