Songstress Selena Gomez has revealed that having a No.1 single gives her a strong sense of validation that is incredibly rewarding. 

During a new interview with Billboard magazine, the beauty explained that when 'Good For You' topped the chart she realised she was finally on the right track:

“It was the third song I heard while Interscope and I were getting to know each other. The demo was just a skeleton, but [co-writers] Justin [Tranter] and Julia [Michaels] bring this sexiness to everything they touch. She has a great way of seeing relationships. I know I wasn’t necessarily viewed as an artist, so this number one is a validation.”

“I had put so much pressure on myself, figuring out what my album was going to be, that I was exhausted when I went in to record. That’s why you can hear cracks in my voice, but the song took on this emotion I didn’t realize I could tap into.”
