Spotlight
Selena Gomez & The Scene搀 Lyrics

I can tell by the way you feel,
The singer can sense that the listener is feeling down.

Somethin' ain't goin' your way
The listener is experiencing some kind of difficulty.

Jeans too tight and your hair ain't right,
The listener is feeling physically uncomfortable and self-conscious about their appearance.

We all get some of those days
Experiencing low self-esteem and feeling insecure is common.

Ohh, throw that mirror away
The artist suggests that the listener should not dwell on superficial flaws and should look beyond external appearances.

Ohh, you know it's gonna be okay
The singer reassures the listener that everything will work out in the end.

Take it down, shake it out, On the floor
The singer advises the listener to let go of their worries and dance or move to clear their mind.

You'll get over it, Let it drop, make it stop, Ohh
The artist encourages the listener to release their negative emotions and move on from their problems.

When you feel like I've been, Everybody's somethin'
The artist empathizes with the listener, acknowledging that everyone has moments of insecurity.

You and your friend, Everybody jump in, look at us now, Everybody shout out, ohh
The artist invites the listener and their friends to join in and celebrate their individuality and unique qualities.

In the spotlight, No matter what's on the outside, Get it with your inside, Open your eyes, duties of the spotlight
Being in the spotlight means focusing on one's inner qualities and taking on the responsibility of setting an example for others.

Don't be from them, everybody's somethin', ohh
It is important to recognize that everyone has value and worth, regardless of external appearances or perceived flaws.

Gettin' up, oh, worn my face, Wish I could press delete, We all got something we don't like, Even Angelina Jolie, Ohh, throw that mirror away, Ohh, don't be goin' M.I.A
The singer acknowledges that even celebrities like Angelina Jolie have things they don't like about themselves and encourages the listener to let go of negative self-talk and self-doubt.

I can tell by the way you talk the talk, That somethin' ain't goin' your way, 'Cause your jeans too tight and your hair ain't right, Well we all get some of those days, Just take another deep breath, try to hit your reset, You know that I can relate, Put your hands in the air, Now let me hear you shout out, We'll get out of my way
