sleeve. "I have been waiting to share this with all
of you," the singer tweeted Thursday. "The video
for my new single 'The Heart Wants What It
Wants.'"
The black-and-white video opens with a voice
recording of Gomez, 22, talking about being
wronged by a man, presumably her on-and-off
boyfriend Justin Bieber , 20. Fighting back tears
and revealing little details, she says, "When I was
on stage and I was thinking of...I felt like I
know...I know him, though, and I know his heart
and I know what he wouldn't do to hurt me. But I
didn't realize that feeling so confident and feeling
so great about myself and then [to have] it just
be completely shattered by one thing, by
something so stupid. But then you make me feel
crazy, you make me feel like it's my fault. I was in
pain."
"You got me sippin' on somethin' / I can't
compare to nothin' / I've ever known / I'm
hopin' / That after this fever I'll survive / I know
I'm acting a bit crazy / Strung out, a little bit
hazy / Hand over heart, I'm prayin' / That I'm
gonna make it out alive," Gomez sings. "The bed's
gettin' cold and you're not here / The future that
we hold is so unclear / But I'm not alive until you
call / And now I bet the odds against it all / Save
your advice, 'cause I won't hear / You might be
right, but I don't care / There's a million reasons
why I should give you up / But the heart wants
what it wants / The heart wants what it wants." When Gomez isn't crying, she's hooking up with a
bad boy. "The Heart Wants What It Wants,"
indeed.
Before she released the video, which will appear
on her greatest hits album, Gomez posted a photo
a recording session on Instagram. "As I have a
last listen, I thought a lot about my year. I
thought a lot about my voice. And after a year of
holding on. I think it's time to start sharing.
#November," she wrote.
Gomez will discuss the song on Ryan Seacrest 's
KIIS-FM radio show on Thursday.
