"Come & Get It" is Selena Gomez's 2013 hit single from her album Stars Dance, known for its tribal and Middle Eastern influences. Recent buzz around the song stems from viral clips of its music video resurfacing online in early 2025, sparking nostalgia and debates about cultural elements in its Indian-inspired visuals and tabla drums.[1][7][9][10]
Release Background
The track debuted on April 7, 2013, after leaking early, and Gomez described it as a confidence-boosting anthem not about any specific person, despite speculation linking it to Justin Bieber. It peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, marking her first top-10 hit, and the video dropped on May 7, earning MTV VMA nods.[3][9][1]
Recent Virality
A 2025 clip went viral on X (formerly Twitter), with fans praising Gomez's vocals and moves while others critiqued the cultural portrayal, headlined as "They don't culturally appropriate like this anymore." Reddit posts marked its 12-year anniversary on April 7, 2025, highlighting its major-label debut significance.[7][10]
Selena's Reflections
Gomez later called it sounding like a "Rihanna reject," admitting she was young and chasing a hit during her Revival tour prep. No major 2026 developments tie directly to the song amid her recent marriage to Benny Blanco and Golden Globes appearance.[2][5]
