While “F” usually stands for “fail,” in this instance, it means “forgettable,” and easily at that.
“Rule The World,” the latest single by former teen sensation Selena Gomez, is dull, boring, uninspired and unoriginal. With a beat and melody no more complicated than water dripping from a faucet, this song stands as an insult to music of any genre.
Coupled with that are Gomez’ heartthrob lyrics that prove to the world she isn’t over Justin Bieber, not that anyone cared. She croons, “I try to tell myself this pain would go away/Just go away,” which is what ears worldwide will think after hearing this song.
“Rule The World” is so mundane and so mind-numbingly generic, it shouldn’t even register as a blip on pop music’s radar. Fans of monotony will love the song, but the rest of humanity shouldn’t care.
