Rare
"Rare" is a song about knowing your worth. The track, by Selena Gomez, was released on 10 January 2020 as the lead single from her album Rare. It is a pop and electropop song that runs 3:40, released on Interscope, and it was written by Gomez, Madison Love, Brett McLaughlin, Nolan Lambroza, and Simon Rosen, with production by Sir Nolan and Simon Says. The lyrics open with a confession: "Baby, you've been so distant from me lately." It is a song about a relationship that is not working, about the moment you realize you deserve better. The narrator talks about burning toast in the toaster, and about ambitions that were too high. It is a song about the gap between what you want and what you have, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both vulnerable and powerful. The production is sleek and modern, with a beat that is built for the club. What stays with me is how the song turns self-worth into a pop anthem. It is a song about knowing your value, and it is delivered with a sincerity that is hard to ignore. The song was recorded in November 2018 at Home Away From Home Studios in Los Angeles. It is a song about the gap between what you want and what you have, and it is delivered with a vocal performance that is both vulnerable and powerful. The production is sleek and modern, with a beat that is built for the club. It is the kind of song that works in a loud room, where the energy can be felt. The song's message of self-worth is what gives it its power. It is a song that stays with you long after it ends. It is a song that stays with you long after it ends. |
