In slinky satin gowns and a neutral backdrop, the subdued set seems inspired by iconic celebrity photographer [Annie Leibovitz](http://time.com/4352389/queen-elizabeth-vanity-fair-cover-corgis/?iid=sr-link1 "undefined"). Gomez, who’s certainly a cover star pro at this point in her career, proceeds to manage a lot of hair-flipping while shooting sultry gazes at the camera as she sings: “The world can be a nasty place / You know it, I know it, yeah / We don’t have to fall from grace / Put down the weapons you fight with.” A cadre of eclectic dancers joins Gomez to close out the video with a healthy dose of attitude. This is the fourth single off of Gomez’s 2015 album _Revival_. She’s currently [in the midst](https://www.selenagomez.com/revivaltour "undefined") of her stadium tour, which launched last month. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4358741/selena-gomez-music-video-kill-em-with-kindness/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4358741/selena-gomez-music-video-kill-em-with-kindness/"},"headline":"Selena Gomez Has Looks to 'Kill' in New Music Video","datePublished":"2016-06-06T19:40:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:01.205Z","description":"\"We don’t have to fall from grace / Put down the weapons you fight with.\"","url":"https://time.com/4358741/selena-gomez-music-video-kill-em-with-kindness/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Music","American Voices"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4358741/selena-gomez-music-video-kill-em-with-kindness/","name":"Selena Gomez Has Looks to 'Kill' in New Music Video"}}]}] ```
