Spotlight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can tell by the way you feel
Something ain't going your way
Jeans too tight and your hair ain't right
We all get some of those days
Oh, throw that mirror away
Oh, you know it's gonna be okay


[Pre-Chorus]
Take it down
Shake it out on the floor
You'll get over it
Let it drop, make it stop, oh

[Chorus]
When you feel like nothing, everybody's something
You and your friend, everybody jump in
Look at us now, everybody shout out
Oh, in the spotlight
No matter what you're outside, get in with your inside
Open your eyes, you deserve a spotlight
Don't be frowning, everybody's something
Oh oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
[Verse 2]
I got all an "Uh oh" on my face
Wish I could press "Delete"
We all got something we don't like
Even Angelina Jolie

Oh, throw that mirror away
Oh, don't be going M.I.A

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it down
Shake it out on the floor
You'll get over it
Let it drop, make it stop, oh

[Chorus]
When you feel like nothing, everybody's something
You and your friend, everybody jump in
Look at us now, everybody shout out
Oh, in the spotlight
No matter what you're outside, get in with your inside
Open your eyes, you deserve a spotlight
Don't be frowning, everybody's something
Oh oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
[Bridge]
I can tell by the way you talk the talk
That something ain't going your way
'Cause your jeans too tight and your hair ain't right
Well, we all get some of those days

Just take another deep breath, try to hit your reset
You know that I can relate
Put your hands in the air
Now let me hear you shout out
Well, get out of my way

[Pre-Chorus]
Take it down, shake it out on the floor
You'll get over it
Let it drop, make it stop, oh

[Chorus]
When you feel like nothing
Everybody's something (Everybody's something)
You and your friend, everybody jump in (Everybody jump in)
Look at us now, everybody shout out
Oh, in the spotlight
No matter what you're outside, get in with your inside (Inside)
Open your eyes, you deserve a spotlight (C'mon)
Don't be frowning, everybody's something, oh (Oh)
When you feel like nothing
Everybody's something (Everybody's something)
You and your friend, everybody jump in (Everybody jump in)
Look at us now, everybody shout out
Oh, in the spotlight (Oh, whoa)
No matter what you're outside, get in with your inside
Open your eyes, you deserve a spotlight (Open your eyes)
Don't be frowning, everybody's something
Oh oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight
Oh, in the spotlight (Spotlight)
Oh, in the spotlight

Genius Annotation

According to Songfacts, this is the seventh track from A Year Without Rain, the second album from American Pop group Selena Gomez & The Scene. Selena’s fans inspired many of the songs on the record.

“I wanted to make sure it made people feel good, but I also dedicated a couple songs to my fans, because there were moments onstage that I wish I could give to them, because they mean so much to me,” the singer explained to MTV News. So there are songs like ‘Intuition’ and ‘Spotlight’ that are specifically for my fans and a way of saying, ‘I get to live such a great life, but you guys deserve the spotlight as much as I do.’
