[edit]Songs
When asked if "Round & Round" sounded like the rest of the album o was a completely different track, Gomez said, "I think a little bit of both. I mean, Round & Round sounds like some of the other songs that I've recorded, but at the same time, there're songs that are completely different and kind of got a different sound. A little softer sound, a little sweeter sound, and some have a más rock sound, so I kind of have a different kind of vibe with each song."[11] In an interview with MTV, Gomez spoke of the título track and segundo single, "A año Without Rain", saying, "It's basically one of my favorito! songs on the record, um, and it's kind of got a más feel-good, dance beat feel, I amor it."[12] Gomez also mentioned a track titled "Intuition", calling it "one of my favorites", and describing the message as "basically being about, every decision that tu second-guess, every decision that tu think, 'I shouldn't do that', do it, and I amor that. I amor that message so much."[13] On July 20, 2010, in an interview on Z100, Gomez confirmed that one song on the album, "Rock God", is an original por Katy Perry that was dado to Gomez and her band. Perry has provided the background vocals for the song. Gomez also briefly mentioned another song called "Off the Chain".[14]
