Save the Day Lyrics
Kiss the moon goodbye
But don't close your eyes, your eyes
It's the end of the night
But the beginning of time for you and I
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe that my body's still moving, I
It makes me feel like we're doing something right
[Chorus]
Baby, when the night starts slippin'
When the night starts slippin'
When the night starts slippin' away
Boy, you keep my heartbeat skippin' when you touch me
Even though the time is tickin' away
Just tell me it's not over
And we'll never reach the end
Oh, when the night starts slipping away
Save the day
[Post-Chorus]
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, d-d-d-d-d-d-day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, oh
Save the day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, d-d-d-d-d-d-day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, oh
Save the day
Yeah, we're still wide awake
Got me losing my mind, my mind
No, it's never too late
Put your lips on mine
In the burning sunlight, I
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't believe that my body's still moving, I
It makes me feel like we're doing something right
[Chorus]
Baby, when the night starts slippin'
When the night starts slippin'
When the night starts slippin' away
Boy, you keep my heartbeat skippin' when you touch me
Even though the time is tickin' away
Just tell me it's not over
And we'll never reach the end
Oh, when the night starts slipping away
Save the day
[Post-Chorus]
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, d-d-d-d-d-d-day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, oh
Save the day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, d-d-d-d-d-d-day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, oh
Save the day
Da-oh-ey-oh-ey-oh-ey, oh-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Da-oh-ey-oh-ey-oh-ey, oh-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Da-oh-ey-oh-ey-oh-ey
[Breakdown]
Kiss the moon goodbye
But don't close your eyes, eyes, eyes
[Chorus]
Baby, when the night starts slippin'
When the night starts slippin'
When the night starts slippin' away
Boy, you keep my heartbeat skippin' when you touch me
Even though the time is tickin' away
Just tell me it's not over
And we'll never reach the end
Oh, when the night starts slippin' away
Save the day
[Post-Chorus]
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, d-d-d-d-d-d-day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, oh
Save the day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, d-d-d-d-d-d-day
D-d-d-d-d-d-day, oh
Save the day
About
“Save The Day” is the seventh track from Selena Gomez' debut solo album Stars Dance, and like many of it’s predesscors on the album (e.g. “Come & Get It”, “Birthday” “Slow Down” & “Like A Champion”), Save The Day has a heavy EDM, club-ready sound influence.
The song was written by Olivia Waithe (a.k.a Livvi Franc), Mitch Allan & Jason Evigan, a.ka. production and hitmaker duo “The Suspex”. With the production being handled by the latter two.
Lyrically the song finds Gomez in a club situation, hindered with serious sparks made with a guy. Having unexpected amounts of energy throughout the night, she doesn’t want the night to end because it will mean they have to depart.

Moreover, according to Songfacts, Gomez explained during a hour-long livestream:
It has a Spanish guitar feel. I’m Latin, so I kind of love that vibe, Do you ever have moments where you don’t ever want them to end? I’ve had those moments. It’s about saving those moments and never wanting it to go away.
Producer Jason Evigan of The Suspex also told MTV News :
Jennifer Lopez wanted [it] really badly. It’s, like, real. It’s, like, really cool [and] up-tempo. It’s about like kind of ‘[Let’s] dance all night. Let’s save the day. Let’s go into the next day. Let’s keep it going all night’ type of thing.
