''For You'' is the first greatest hits album by American singer Selena Gomez; it was released on November 24, 2014, and is her final project with Hollywood Records after signing a recording contract with Interscope Records. The album has been referenced as a "collection" rather than a greatest hits album by Gomez. The album consists of Gomez's previous singles, two new songs, and multiple remixes of previously released material. ''For You'' features music from both Gomez's solo career and her releases with Selena Gomez & the Scene. Gomez worked with Rock Mafia for the new material, having worked with them on all of her previous albums. The album was preceded by the release of the new single "The Heart Wants What It Wants", on November 6, 2014. The single was praised by music critics and became a commercial success in multiple countries. It went on to become her second top ten hit on Billboard Hot 100, and entered the top-ten in countries such as Canada and Denmark. The song was performed at the 2014 American Music Awards. ==Background== In 2007, Gomez first began recording music, making appearances on numerous soundtracks and compilations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amazon.com: Soundtrack: Wizards of Waverly Place: Music )〕 She signed a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2008, and subsequently formed her band Selena Gomez & the Scene.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Selena Gomez's Supersweet 16 | E!
