Commercially, the song reached the top twenty of countries as Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, New Zealand, and Spain, as well as Czech Republic and Slovakia's digital charts. Reviewers also compared her vocals to those of Lana Del Rey, Imogen Heap and Lorde, while noting similarities to the works of Del Rey it was later included in many year-end lists of best songs. "Good for You" received acclaim from music critics, who praised its minimalistic production, sex appeal and Gomez's vocals, as well as her maturity and artistic growth some of them, however, had mixed reactions towards Rocky's contribution. Rocky raps his verse at the end of the song, which is written from a male, player perspective and features braggadocio, profanity, and sexual innuendos.
Its come-hither lyrics have intensity, psychodrama, self-confidence, and female empowerment as main themes, dealing with pleasing her lover and being the perfect complement for him. Gomez sings atypically with breathy vocals and a plaintive timbre in the track, which was noted for being her first collaboration with a rapper.
A torch song, it is a pop and electro- R&B slow jam with hip hop elements that comprises a mellow, low-key snap-drop hip hop beat reminiscent of modern, pitched-down Southern hip hop productions, minor sound bursts, percussion instrumentation, drum machines, airy and transparent synthesizer, and a minimalistic bass. After it was reworked by Lambroza, she sent the song to Rocky, who added new instruments and co-produced it with his frequent collaborator Hector Delgado, who was in charge of Rocky's vocal production.Īfter anticipation by Gomez, "Good for You" was digitally released on Jby Interscope and Polydor Records, serving as Revival 's lead single as well as the first song by the singer to be released through those labels. The singer then received the song through the trio's A&R and was entirely involved in its creative session, helping to develop it as a representation of her process of self-realization, her confidence as a young woman, and her feelings of vulnerability. Originally, the track was conceived by the writers in 45 minutes, during a session booked by the latter. The song was written by Gomez, Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter, ASAP Rocky, Hector Delgado, and its producers Nick Monson and Nolan Lambroza. It features vocals by American rapper ASAP Rocky. " Good For You" is the lead single from American singer Selena Gomez's second studio album, Revival (2015).
