"Hands to Myself" is a track recorded by American
singer Selena Gomez for her 2-nd album, Revival (2015). The song was written by
Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, and its producers Mattman & Robin and
Max Martin. It was inspired to add fresh, female perspective to the album and was influenced by the song of Prince. "Hands to Myself" is an upbeat dance-pop and synthpop single, backed by lightly clicking percussion, hand claps, a dark guitar riff and "tribal pop" synths. Gomez uses both her higher vocal register for belting, as well as her lower range breathy vocals in an octave just above a whisper. She clips her enunciation of the lyrics which detail a come-hither.
"Hands to Myself" was serviced to contemporary hit
radio in the US on January 26, 2016, as the 3-rd song from Revival. The track
was acclaimed by critics who complimented Gomez's versatile vocal performance
and the track's uncharacteristic production and lyrics. Commercially,
"Hands to Myself" has taked number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and
the top 10 in Canada, New Zealand and Slovakia. It also managed to reach the
top 20 in Australia and the United Kingdom.
