Sang off-key in my chorus
'Cause it wasn't yours

Selena establishes the idea of how Justin and her lives clashed.  To persuade the targeted audience, she presents an emotional side to it by using the phrases “off-key” referring to, and “my chorus” refers to her life.  When she goes on to say “Cause it wasn’t yours” asserting that she now knows she deserves better.

Made me think I deserved it
In the thick of healing, yeah

Selena goes on to defend her reputation as she remembers thinking in the past that she deserved the treatment and pain that Justin was causing.  In reality and now in the present, she recounts that now she is healing. She has learned her worth and authority in the spotlight.

You promised the world and I fell for it

I put you first and you adored it

The emotion put into the words shows the manipulation of the relationship.  Selena has bitter feelings toward “falling for empty promises”. She put Justin first, above all falling for the empty promises that he could not deliver.

Set fires to my forest
And you let it burn

This phrase provokes the anger and hurt that Justin caused Selena to feel. With this, it demonstrates the ruin that Justin and their relationship had on Selena’s life.  She states that he “let it burn” which also translates to the passionate anger and hurt that he has caused her.

Selena acting as the speaker attempts to tell Justin that she needed to lose him and their toxic relationship to finally love herself and grow as a person.  She uses the appeals of Pathos and Ethos in the lyrics and the appeals of Pathos, Ethos, and Logos in the video to get her message across.  In analyzing the lyrics and video, it appears that her use of appeals is effective in getting her point across.

The music video of Lose You To Love Me may look like a simple black and white video to the common person.  However, the meaning and context of the video is much deeper and complex.  Selena herself is the speaker, as she is retelling her story of the relationship she had with Justin.  The occasion of the video is a response to the new marriage of Justin and Hailey.  Although, the occasion may fit the idea that it is a funeral for their dead relationship.  There is technically no audience in the video, yet it is evident that this is a clear message for Justin.  The purpose of the video is to bring to life the hardships that Selena went through while with Justin and after they separated.  Just like the lyrics subject, the subject of the music video is the story telling of Selena and Justin's relationship.  The tone of the music video is much more somber and dark compared to the lyrics. Overall, the emotions and gestures that Selena does throughout the video contributes to the idea that although this time of her life was difficult, she now is stronger because of it.

Speaker: In the music video, Selena Gomez is clearly the speaker.  She is recounting her history and past relationship with Justin (Sanchez).

Occasion: The occasion is her response to Justin and Hailey getting married.  In the music video I also believe that it shows her response of being able to persevere through the dark times following the end and hurt of their relationship.  She was able to grow as a person and learn more because of it.

Audience: The audience of this song is directed towards Justin (past lover).  However, those who have experienced a breakup may find this message relatable.

Purpose: The purpose of this song reflects personal growth.  It also shows the hardships that Selena overcame. The purpose also points to the idea that better times do come.  There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Subject: The subject of the music video was about Selena and Justin's breakup.  With the video in black and white, it was retelling the relationship.

Tone: The tone of the music video is dark and somber.  The general attitude and emotions illustrate that the hardships and hurt that was faced.  It also does show her strength to get through it.

In Lose You To Love Me by Selena Gomez the lyrics contribute to the idea that the speaker is Selena Gomez herself, who is talking about her breakup experience. The occasion of the song is a response to after breaking up with Justin Bieber, he quickly got married to Hailey Baldwin. The audience of the song is Justin Bieber himself, however those who have gone through a breakup may also find this song very relatable. This connects to the subject of the song, which is the idea of personal growth while recovering from the trauma a breakup causes. The tone of the lyrics demonstrates the hurt and pain Selena endured from Justin. They are very direct, in which the listener can understand the anger she experienced. The tone also hints at the fact that Selena is better off now without Justin.

Speaker:  The speaker is Selena Gomez.  The voice within the lyrics is telling the story of things that have happened within her life. It talks about her final break up with (whom we can assume to be Justin Bieber) and the growing as a person that she has done since.

Occasion: The occasion of this song is a response to her separation from Justin Bieber. These two have been together for a decade (on/off couple). Shortly after they called it quits, he married Hailey Baldwin.  This song responds to the love triangle (hurt and pain Selena experienced) that is centered around Justin moving on so quickly (Bailey).  Also, it responds to the pain she experienced throughout the relationship.

Audience: The audience would be Justin Bieber, her ex.  However, the audience can also be anyone who has encountered a breakup.

Purpose: The purpose of the piece being written was to show her personal growth after the breakup.  She shows her gratitude for learning from the hard times that a breakup can bring. In this song, she expresses that a negative experience can be turned into a positive thing (Travis).

Subject: The subject of the piece is about breakups and the personal growth after.

Tone: The tone of the piece almost has a revengeful tone.  It portrays the anger and hurt that she experienced, but also has the tone that she is better off now because of the breakup (Taylor).
