Whiplash

About Whiplash

"Whiplash" is a song by American band Selena Gomez & the Scene, from their third studio album When the Sun Goes Down (2011). The song was originally written by Britney Spears; after she started working on her sixth studio album Circus (2008), Spears contacted Nicole Morier to write songs with her. Together, they wrote several songs. "Whiplash", which was produced by co-writer Greg Kurstin, failed to make the album. In 2011, Selena Gomez recorded the song with her band for When the Sun Goes Down. "Whiplash" is a dance song with influences of electro, relying heavily on the usage of synthesizers. The pre-chorus has a sing-rap section in which Gomez delivers the lyrics in a thick British accent. "Whiplash" is musically different and much more aggressive than the rest of the album, and its lyrics speak of a blossoming romance; it has been compared to the work of Spears. "Whiplash" received mixed to positive reviews. While some critics called it one of the standout tracks of When the Sun Goes Down, others dismissed its rap sections and lyrics. Selena Gomez & the Scene performed the song on their We Own the Night Tour (2011). more »

Oh baby, moonlights
Hits the spotlight
I'm on my flight
To take you away
I'm feeling so free
You're makin' me crazy

That's what you do
That's what you do
Let's go now!

Lickety split
A girl and a bear
She crawls in a pit
Say hello darling
Twisted insanity
Fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Well come on, boy

Well come on
And take me to the other side
I'm gon' away
When I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash whiplash whiplash
It's up to you
And I don't wanna give you clues
We're movin' fast
I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash whiplash whiplash

Like a first kiss
With a sweet list
Of some love songs, oh yeah
And with this melody
Falling over me
It makes me weak
So damn weak
So let's go now

Lickety split
A girl and a bear
She crawls in a pit
Say hello darling
Twisted insanity
Fallen humanity
All I want is some tranquility
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Well come on, boy

Well come on
And take me to the other side
I'm gon' away
When I look into your eyes
I'm so in love
I think I'm gonna crash
And get whiplash whiplash whiplash
It's up to you
And I don't wanna give you clues
We're movin fast
I think we got enough to lose
So don't look back or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash whiplash whiplash

La la la la la la la

And get whiplash whiplash whiplash
It's up to you
And I don't wanna give you clues
We're movin' fast

So don't look back or else we're gonna crash
And get whiplash whiplash whiplash
