Revival is the second solo and fifth overall
studio album by American singer
Selena Gomez. It was released on October 9, 2015, by
Interscope and
Polydor Records. Gomez began planning the project in 2014, at which time she left her previous label
Hollywood Records and subsequently joined Interscope and Polydor, and continued work into 2015. As
executive producers, Gomez, Danny D, and Tim Blacksmith collaborated with producers including
Hit-Boy,
Rock Mafia, and
Stargate to achieve her desired new sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily
pop record, with elements of
dance-pop,
electropop, and
R&B connected by a
tropical beach sound and lyrics that discuss love and confidence.
