Jane Willson A very sexy song, totally unapologetic about being so, and even more than that: a song that has fun with the concept. That, in a nutshell, is what “I Can’t Get Enough” is all about. If you are not completely sure about it, just take a look at the video clip – set in a gigantic bed, where the “characters” sing and dance, appear and disappear, in a way that is not only provocative but also playful.
With the leading voice, and major presence, of pop-star Selena Gomez, the song was composed as a collaboration of a big group – at least if compared to what is more usual in terms of songwriting. Besides Gomez, the names of Marco Masis, Mike Sabath, Cris Chiluiza, Benjamin Levin, J. Balvin and Jhay Cortez line up in credits for this bilingual song (performed in comings and goings of English and Spanish).
What is the I Can’t Get Enough Lyrics Meaning?
The lyrics are very clearly sexual in nature, as just in the beginning it says in a very blunt way that it’s time to get crazy, in a physical sense (mentioning “contact” and “impact”).
In the second part of the song, the lyrics talk about it even more graphically, with phrases saying it’s fine being alone as long as the person that is loved is there too, and with a very direct mention of a body on top of the other – it couldn’t get more to the point than that, right?
Embracing the liberating aspect of the song, Selena Gomez talked about her own experiences and personality when it comes to romantic relationships, not for one-second shying away from the sexual component.
“I’m the kind of girl that loves tremendously big”, she said. “I just have always been that kind of girl. I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate. With that comes a lot, ya know? Clearly, you understand.”
