Selena Gomez Throws A Rave In ‘Hit The Lights’ Video

Party-ready clip is ‘about being with people you love and enjoying the moment,’ Gomez teased of brand-new clip. By Jocelyn Vena Selena Gomez Photo: Jeffrey Mayer/ WireImage For her music video for “Hit the Lights,” Selena Gomez 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 Selena Gomez — if she wasn’t an internationally known singer/actress and had time to hang out with her mall-punk friends and dance her life away. The message of the clip (and the song) seems to be to have fun, live your life and throw caution to the wind. Gomez kicks the party off early, giving flirty looks while riding around on tractors and smashing pumpkins as the track’s pulsing beat plays to her feel-good lyrics. Midway through the video, the atmosphere transitions from day to night and Gomez’s wardrobe also takes on a more sparkling vibe. Next, Selena shows up at a house party with lights flashing everywhere. 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, Selena is left alone in a field somewhere, fireworks blasting above her as she twirls around with sparklers ion her hands. “Hit the Lights” is the latest single off Gomez’s album, When the Sun Goes Down, and in behind-the-scenes footage released last week, she opened up about the clip. “The song ‘Hit the Lights’ is that missed opportunity. 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,” she explained. “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.” Related Artists Selena Gomez

Justin Timberlake Almost Landed On Drake’s Take Care

‘That was the one person that I was sorta like, ‘Damn!’ but we’ll get it though,’ Drizzy says of working with JT. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Timberlake Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images A year ago, Drake spoke to MTV News about the possibility of working with Justin Timberlake , saying that he had built a “rapport” with the pop superstar. With Drizzy’s new album Take Care out this week, however, it’s clear the two didn’t actually end up getting that rapport on tape. But in the latest issue of Billboard, the Canadian MC says that he and Timberlake came pretty close to making a collaboration happen. “I really wanted to work with Justin Timberlake on this project and we came so close, man, so close. He’s just super busy, and not in the music mindset right now as far as creating,” he revealed. In the 12 months since Drake first talked to us about working with the star, Timberlake has forged a real-deal Hollywood career, with roles in movies like “The Social Network” and “Friends With Benefits.” “The song was gonna be dope,” the rapper said of the track, which was reportedly set to be produced by Noah “40” Shebib. “It was solid, a solid little look. But he’s so immersed in the acting thing, and I don’t blame him, he’s doing great at it. He was just like, ‘I really want to work. I just can’t do it right now. But we’ll work as soon as I’m back in the studio.’ ” And Drake is holding out hope it’ll happen one day. “He gave me his word on that, so I’m looking forward to [working] with him,” he said. “Even just giving him some ideas, writing, him working with [40], I think that would just sound crazy — Justin Timberlake and 40. “Half the time, I just want artists to work on 40’s beats; I don’t even really want to intrude, I just want to hear them,” the rapper added. “40 has so many ideas, and I’d love to hear an artist like Justin Timberlake to see what he and 40 could come up with. But that was the one person that I was sorta like, ‘Damn!’ but we’ll get it though.” Share your reviews of Drake’s Take Care in the comments below! Related Artists Drake Justin Timberlake
