De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

«Whiplash» es una canción intepretada por la banda estadounidense Selena Gomez & the Scene, de su tercer álbum de estudio When the Sun Goes Down (2011). Originalmente fue compuesta por la cantante Britney Spears; after she started working on her sixth studio album Circus (2008), Spears contacted Nicole Morier to write songs with her. Together, they wrote "Mmm Papi", "Rock Me In" and "Whiplash". The latter, which was produced by Greg Kurstin, who also helped to write the track, failed to make the album. En 2011, Selena Gomez, a long-time fan of Spears, recorded the song with her band for When the Sun Goes Down.

«Whiplash» es una canción dance con influencias del electro, relying heavily on the usage of synthesizers. The pre-chorus has a sing-rap section in which Gomez delivers the lyrics in a thick British accent. "Whiplash" is musically different and much more aggressive than the rest of the album, and its lyrics speak of a blossoming romance; it has been compared to the work of Spears. "Whiplash" received mixed to positive reviews. While some critics called it one of the standout tracks of When the Sun Goes Down, others dismissed its rap sections and lyrics. Selena Gomez & the Scene performed the song at shows while on the We Own the Night Tour (2011).

Composición[editar]

«Whiplash» es una canción dance con influiencias del electro.[1]​ It features a heavy usage of synthesizers, which were compared to those in Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight" (2010).[2]​[3]​ During the pre-chorus, there is a sing-rap section in which Gomez delivers several phrases in a thick British accent, before the pulsating chorus begins.[1]​[2]​ "Whiplash" has a much more aggressive vibe than the typical teen pop sound.[2]​ According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, it is written in the key of D minor. The song runs through a shuffle beat and maintains a tempo of 138 beat per minute. Gomez's vocal range spans from the high-tone of A3 to the lower register of B♭4.[4]​ It is also musically different and a departure from other songs in When the Sun Goes Down which are more straightforward pop, such as "Who Says" and "Bang Bang Bang".[2]​[3]​

Several critics compared the song to the works of Spears.[1]​[5]​ James Dinh of MTV News said that "Gomez, who has gushed to us about her Spears fandom, shows off her best impersonation" in the song.[1]​ While reviewing the We Own the Night Tour, Kevin C. Johnson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said the song "sound[s] as if it was ripped directly from Spears' catalog."[5]​ Blair Kelly of musicOMH compared it to the music of Circus, and more specifically to "Womanizer" (2008).[6]​ It was also compared by Tim Sendra of Allmusic to the "electro glam" sound of Goldfrapp.[7]​ The lyrics of "Whiplash" speak of a blossoming romance. Gomez sings in the chorus, "Come on and take me to the other side / I'm gonna wait, when I look into your eyes /I'm so in love, I think I'm going to crash / And get whiplash, whiplash, whiplash."[1]​

Interpretaciones en vivo[editar]

Selena Gomez & the Scene tocó la canción en su gira We Own the Night Tour (2011).[8]​ Lo interpretaron tras un medley de sus versiones de canciones de la intérprete Britney Spears: «...Baby One More Time», «(You Drive Me) Crazy», «Oops!... I Did It Again», «I'm a Slave 4 U», «Toxic» y «Hold It Against Me».[9]​ Después de interpretar «Whiplash», la banda continuó con la presentación de «Tell Me Something I Don't Know».[8]​
