For You is the first greatest hits album by American singer Selena Gomez. The album was released on November 24, 2014, through Hollywood Records. It contains material from Gomez's band Selena Gomez & the Scene, as well as her releases as a solo artist under Hollywood Records. The album serves as her final project to be released through Hollywood Records, with whom she released four studio albums and a remix album. It includes two previously unreleased songs, produced by Rock Mafia, as well as new versions of some previously released recordings. A digital extended play containing the new material was made available for streaming.
The album received a generally favorable reception upon its release; it was seen as a fair representation of her music career, while the new material was praised for its "mature" sound. For You achieved moderate commercial success, debuting at number 24 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 36,000 equivalent album units during its first week of release. The project saw a similar commercial performance worldwide, entering the lower end of eleven total countries. The album has reportedly sold 112,000 copies in the United States as of January 2020.
For You received minimal promotion prior to its release. "The Heart Wants What It Wants" was released as the sole single from the project on November 6, 2014; the album was announced and put up for pre-order the same day. The song and its accompanying music video received positive reviews from critics, who praised Gomez's new sound after she was criticized for her heavy EDM style, from her last project Stars Dance. The single went on to become her second top ten hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, and sold over one million copies in the country. It achieved similar success in multiple countries worldwide as well. Gomez performed the song live at the American Music Awards of 2014 the day before the album's release date.
