Naturally
"Naturally" is a song by American band Selena Gomez & the Scene from their 2009 debut album, Kiss & Tell which proved a hit with teens around the UK. It was written by Antonina Armato, Tim James, and Devrim Karaoglu. The song is an up-tempo electropop song in which the lead singer sings about someone who is her perfect fit.[1] The song officially impacted U.S. mainstream radio on January 19, 2010[2] "Naturally (Disco Fries Remix)" was released as the U.S. single on February 1, 2010. The song was released in the UK on April 12, 2010. The song garnered commercial success for the band in several nations, including Australia, Canada, the UK and the United States.
"Naturally" is the band's highest charting song to date, charting at eighteen in Canada, and also charting in the top thirty in the United States and New Zealand. It was their first song to impact radio, and also the first to chart on the U.S Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it peaked at number-one. As well as this, it became the band's first top 10 hit ever, charting at number 7 in Ireland and at no 7 in the UK also.
Critical reception
Pop Justice selected "Naturally" as its song of the day on February 5, 2010. The site praised the song saying, "It's a cavalcade of cliche but 'Naturally' seems like a boundary-smashing avant garde curiosity when you put it alongside most other Hollywood Records output (ie it's not a dreadful load of old rubbish)."[3]
Live performance
Gomez and the Scene have performed the song on their House of Blues 2010 Tour. They also performed "Naturally" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show,[4][5] Gomez performed it in a Las Vegas segment of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest[6] and on Good Morning AmericaVorlage:Citation needed along with "More". "Falling Down" and "Naturally" were performed at the 2009 Teletón in Mexico.[7] On March 21, 2010 Selena Gomez & The Scene along with Justin Bieber played at the 2010 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.Vorlage:Citation needed
Chart Performance
After debuting its first week at sixty-five on Billboard US Hot Digital Songs,[8] holiday sales for the single subsequently pushed the song to jump to thirty-four.[8] These digital sales made the song the hot shot debut on the Billboard Hot 100, as it debuted at thirty-nine on the week labeled January 09, 2010,[8] eventually rising to twenty-nine on the Hot 100 and eighteen on the Canadian Hot 100.[9] The song was the most added song to mainstream radio on the week of its release.[10][11] On the week labeled February 13, 2010, due to radio impact, the song debuted at forty on the US Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs) chart, and was the hot shot debut at thirty-nine on the Hot Dance/Club Play Songs chart where it peaked at number one.[9] "Naturally" debuted at forty-six on the Australian Singles Chart[12] and at twenty on the New Zealand Singles Chart.[13]. "Naturally" entered the UK Singles Chart at #7, the first Top 10 single for a Disney Channel star, since Hilary Duff with her 2005 Single "Wake Up".
Music video
The song's music video was filmed November 14, 2009,[1] and premiered on Disney Channel following the December 11, 2009 airing of Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation. The special effects of the video are more complex than that of the band's first single, "Falling Down". Lead singer Gomez said, "The video is very different from any other video that I've done," and added, "it has a lot more fierce clothes and a lot of fun colors."[1] An alternate version has been released on March 10, 2010.Vorlage:Citation needed
On the 19th April the song reached number 7 on the UK official music charts.
