All at Once
Selena Gomez & the Scene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All at once

You know inside
Let's ride, across the stars tonight
Love has been so long the way for us
So long you gonna know
And tonight, your soul is scared to ride
So first time saw you
Nothing makes love so true

All at once
I needed you more than you know
All at once
I needed to melt like a snow
All at once
I wanted you in my life
I hope that there's love tonight
All at once
I needed you in my dreams
All at once
I needed you to love me
All at once
I wanted to fly so high
I hope there's more love tonight
.............tonight........

Strange of the eye
SO true

Fairytale so real
When you and I are dancing
You make me feel
My kind of sky
Inside
A mericals' alive
When you look at me
Something is true to me

All at once
I needed you more than you know
All at once
I needed to melt like a snow
All at once
I wanted you in my life
I hope that there's love tonight
All at once
I needed you in my dreams
All at once
I needed you to love me
All at once
I wanted to fly so high




I hope there's more love tonight
.............tonight........

Overall Meaning

The song "All At Once" by Selena Gomez & the Scene expresses the intensity and immediacy of love. The song suggests that love happens suddenly, as though it is riding in on the stars. The lyrics convey the singer's deep desire for the person they love, and the way that that love can feel overwhelming, but also bring a sense of hope and peace. The phrases "all at once" and "tonight" are repeated throughout the song, creating a sense of urgency and immediacy.


The title "All at Once" was actually not the original title of the song. It was originally titled "Struck By Lightning" but the record label didn't like that title and thought "All at Once" would be more marketable.
