Selena Gomez Lives It Up In "Hit The Lights"

Selena Gomez pulls out all the stops to show us she's got a hipster side in her newest music video for "Hit the Lights," a peppy pop paean to opportunities lost and gained and the need to never be afraid to let loose. The upbeat dance tune is the third single taken from her latest album, "When the Sun Goes Down." The message of the clip seems to be to have fun, live your life and throw caution to the wind, but Gomez remains as innocently cute as ever with sunglasses too big for her face in the opening scene.
The lyrics of the song is inspiring and optimistic type. Gomez says that is "basically about every missed opportunity that I had. The dreams that you wish you would go for and basically the song is just encouraging people to [let] loose and have fun and be young and crazy." Gomez told Billboard magazine: "It was actually the first song I recorded and it was really fun and I feel like everyone can relate to that song. It's kind of one of those songs about living in the moment while keeping it a big huge summer dance track. That one was really fun and kind of dance poppy."
Gomez's clip highlights the overall quality of the song. "This video is more organic than anything I've done before. It's about being with people you love and enjoying the moment and embracing the moment you're in your life," Gomez teased. In this playful new video, the 19-year-old pop starlet sporting a totally '60s retro look and dons several party-ready looks as she and her crew spend a day chilling out in a sun-drenched cornfield playing with balloons and watermelons before heading to a rave later that night.
The video is like a day in the life of Gomez and had time to hang out with her mall-punk friends and dance her life away. Midway through the video, the atmosphere transitions from day to night and Gomez's wardrobe also takes on a more sparkling vibe. As She dances around as scenes of a far-off city flash by in fast-motion. The song closes out with a montage of party scenes, and in the end, Gomez is left alone in a field somewhere, fireworks blasting above her as she twirls around with sparklers ion her hands.
