The creative background of revival

Selena Gomez said that the theme of revival would be darker than her previous album, and in order to make this album more real, Selena Gomez deliberately incorporated her emotional experience into the songs of the whole album. In the creative process, Taylor Swift encouraged Selena Gomez to create his own songs, instead of just singing songs tailored by the record company. In the process of helping Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift didn't just generalize, but gave personal guidance and practical suggestions to help her create.

The first single of the album, Good for You, was written by Julia Mack, Justin tranter and Lakim meyers, and co-produced by Syl Nolan and Nick Manson. Selena said that she wanted to express her fragile and distrustful self in her inner world through the lyrics of this song. During the recording, Selena Gomez recorded and sang this song in only 45 minutes. In addition, because she likes hip-hop, Selena added a rap part to the song, and invited her favorite rapper A$AP Rocky to participate in the recording through SMS.
