Several critics noted the reminiscence of the song to the works by singers Lorde and Lana Del Rey. Lyrically, Gomez details being in love with a bad boy despite knowing he may not be a stand - up guy. She sings, `` The bed 's getting cold and you 're not here / The future that we hold is so unclear / But I 'm not alive until you call / And I 'll bet the odds against it all... / There 's a million reasons why I should give you up / But the heart wants what it wants. '' The title is from a letter by Emily Dickinson. The saying was popularized in 2001 when it was quoted by Woody Allen in an interview about his relationship with Soon - Yi Previn. Critical reception Lucas Villa of AXS favorably compared `` The Heart Wants What it Wants '' to the music of Lana Del Rey for Gomez 's use of `` trip hop beats, guitar and distorted Emile Haynie - styled yelps '' alongside her `` darkest '' lyrics yet. He further wrote that the song `` stands as a heartbreaking revelation in her five - year - old songbook, one that 's vulnerably beautiful and unapologetically honest. '' Tim Sendra of AllMusic highlighted the song and praised it by calling it `` very adult and real - sounding '' and adding that `` she acquits herself well here too. '' Popology Now called this song `` emotionally charged. '' The Huffington Post 's Christopher Rosen deemed the song `` a fairly good anthem for those going through heartbreak. '' Idolator praised the song : `` The Rock Mafia - produced gem shows the former teen queen in an entirely new light. There 's a vulnerability we have n't seen before as Selena sings about the dark side of her very own fairytale with palpable honesty and conviction '' and the editor called it the selling point of an album and added that if Selena follows this direction, many hits will be coming for her. '' The Times of India editor Kasmin Fernandes added that this song shows her in an `` entirely new light. '' Renowned for Sound was also positive : `` smooth dose of pop with a second - guessing love storyline. '' When reviewing single, Music Times concluded : `` Emotional song channels Justin Bieber drama but is still stunning on its own.
