Why I’m so obsessed with Selena Gomez’s Video “The Heart wants what it wants”

                              



My favorite music video from Selena Gomez  is called “The heart wants what it wants” is apparently all the rage when it comes to Vevo and YouTube. Selena even performed the song on the American Music Awards. When I first watched the video I cried and kept replaying it over and over again. I couldn’t get enough of her video. Why is her music video so popular? First of all I think it was her monologue at the beginning of the video. It reeled me in. It was so real, deep, and sensitive. She explains before the song about what she went through in that very confusing romantic relationship that she was in. This also explains why she is singing this song.
The second reason why it’s so popular is its relatable. There are so many people who went through the same emotions that Selena showed in her video during the monologue and throughout the song who were in the same confusing relationship with someone who they are supposed to be in a romantic relationship with. Where they’re romantic partner tore down their self-esteem, claimed they would be there for them, but then wasn’t. Of course in the end you are just like Selena and can't help but love that person anyway and you don't want to leave your lover.
The third reason why her video is so popular is it shows how hard it is for her to stop loving him, even though she has a million reasons to end the relationship. She shows the breathless moments with him, of how she can’t live without him because she will miss it. She shows how her current relationship with him is, how even though she is sitting next to him, she’s a little happy but not completely at the same time, because their relationship seems so unclear about their future together. Selena explains how he’s not dependable like she needs him to be, and how it disappoints her so much it’s one of the reasons she’s considering ending the relationship. In the monologue she explains how he made her feel so bad about herself over something so stupid and then blame everything on her, which left her in so much pain. Another reason why she is considering leaving him.
This video is just so real. I actually sort of been through the same kind of confusing relationship of when you love someone and you are not sure of where the relationship is heading. So, I completely understand what she is going through in the video. Selena did good making this music video and song. I actually haven’t purchased any of her albums before, but since I absolutely love this song I may end up purchasing this album or song now. This song was just too good. One way or another I think almost everyone relates to this song in some way. Her music is better than ever!
The reason why her music is probably better is because in her interview with Ryan Seacrest she says that she’s actually loving herself now after her bad break-up with Justin Bieber. If that means that her music is better because of it, than I’m happy for her. She needs to keep loving herself. Selena is better than ever!

Enjoy the music video below, and see what I mean.
