It got little bit more successful than Kiss & Tell and started from 4th place in Billboard Hot 200 chart, the album was recorded in Europe while Selena was shooting her new movie Monte Carlo in 2010. Selena wanted to release a new album quickly and released A Year Without Rain in one year after Kiss & Tell.

The sound of the new album was so different from the debut record — it was in dance style.
In February’s interview for MTV News Selena said “It’s kind of different — older — and it’s kind of got, like, a reggae sound.” When Selena was asked “Does the song Round & Round similar to others songs on the album” she answered “Yes and No I mean Round & Round little bit similar to the rest of the songs which we recorded, but from other side few songs so different from it. In that song your can find special sound — more soft and subtle sounds. The other songs, opposite, impregnated by rock sound”.

The lyrics primarily touches the subjects of love, freedom and joy of life.
Track Intuition is about decisions, which can be predicted and about situations when you think “I should not do so” but In spite of this somehow still doing exactly so. “I like so much the theme of that song” — says Selena.

In July during interview on the radio station “Z100 New York”, Selena told that the lyrics and music of “Rock God” was written for Katy Perry, which gave the song to Selena and band The Scene and then agreed to join them as a back vocalist.
