Composition
[edit]The song was written by Selena Gomez, Amy Allen, Jonathan Bellion, Michael Pollack, Stefan and Jordan K. Johnson, with the production of the team The Monsters & Strangerz. The song was written and recorded in four days in a house in Palm Springs, California.[4]
In an interview with Variety, Amy Allen explained that the song "the overarching concept of feeling at odds with your own mind, the song just kind of wrote itself. It felt like a dream session because it’s so rare for a song to come out so naturally."[5] Gomez also told that recording the song was "therapeutic"[5] and "cathartic"[6] for her ,and that she wanted to get the message that "if somebody sees me like this, then they won’t feel alone now".[7]
Critical reception
[edit]Jon Pareles wrote in a review for The New York Times that the music moved from "fragility to determination" and from "lone, echoey piano notes" to a "supportive march and a mission statement".[8]
