Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He looks way better than you
He looks way better than you
My new boy gets it how to get me
His love is deeper, you know
He's a real keeper, you know, oh
Bang, bang, bang I'm breaking in
Bang, bang, bang, this time I win
I thought your love was all that,
Til I let him in
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
That's moping
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
When I'm out havin' fun
You're gonna be the one
That's broken
My new boy knows the way I want it
He's got more swagger than you
He's got more swagger than you do
My new boy really likes to flaunt this
He's not hiding me you know
He's showing me off you know
Bang, bang, bang I'm breaking in
Stealing all my love back, giving it to him
Bang, bang, bang, this time I win
I thought your love was all that,
Til I let him in
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
That's moping
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
When I'm out havin' fun
You're gonna be the one
That's broken
I hope you slip and fall and trip
All over my heart and just lay there alone
Yeah, you got what you wanted
On your hands and knees,
Gasping for air, grasping for me
Baby don't hold your breath
I've moved on to the next
On to the next one
On to the next one
Bang, bang, bang I'm breaking in
Stealing all my love back, giving it to him
Bang, bang, bang, this time I win
I thought your love was all that,
Til I let him in
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
That's moping
You're gonna be the one
You're gonna be the one
When I'm out havin' fun
You're gonna be the one
That's broken
Bang, bang, bang I'm breaking in
Stealing all my love back, giving it to him
Bang, bang, bang, this time I win
I thought your love was all that,
Til I let him in
In this upbeat pop song, Selena Gomez is proclaiming her independence and confidence after breaking up with her old partner. She starts off by introducing us to her new guy who used to be a model and is better looking than her ex. She also claims that he understands her better and is a real keeper. The chorus of the song is where she makes it clear that she knows what she wants and is going after it. She's breaking into her own heart and taking back all the love she gave away to her ex, giving it to her new guy instead. The title, 'Bang Bang Bang', symbolizes her determination and strength in taking her love back. She believed her old love was everything she needed until she found someone better who understands her more.
The bridge of the song is where Selena takes on a more vengeful tone, wishing bad things for her ex. She hopes he'll trip and fall all over her heart and lay there alone without her. She declares that she's moved on to someone else and tells him not to hold his breath for her return. The song's repetitive chorus emphasizes the idea that Selena is over her ex and is happy with her new partner.
