Songfacts®:

• This is the first single from dance-pop act Selena Gomez & The Scene's second album. The song was co-written and produced by Kevin Rudolf, whose biggest success as an artist is the Top 10 hit "Let It Rock." Rudolf has also worked with the likes of Lil Wayne, Cobra Starship and Lifehouse.
• Rudolf told Artist Direct the story behind the song. "It's actually a song I was writing with Fefe Dobson. We played it for LA Reid [Def Jam CEO]. He thought it was great but it was too dance-y for Fefe, so we gave it to Selena and she loved it. She cut the vocals in Budapest and sent them back. I like Fefe a lot! She's a good writer, and she's got a great voice. I also produced Fefe's single 'Ghost.' We had the song sitting around, and I thought it might work for Rihanna at one point because it was a lot dancier. It wasn't as rock 'n' roll as it is now. We played it for Fefe and she loved it though. We added some rock drums and guitars, and it worked for her."
