"LIVE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW" is the single by Selena Gomez and the Scene from the soundtrack of Ramona and Beezus, the summer movie that also stars the singer as Beezus. Like Beverly Cleary's Ramona book series on which the movie is based, this clean tune is fine for kids of all ages. The worry-free lyrics lack adult content of any kind, including only a wholesome message about living every day to the fullest. There are lots of inspirational lyrics to be found here, such as: "Live like there's no tomorrow / 'Cause all we have is here, right now / Love like it's all that we know ... Don't ever let this life pass us by ... Feel what it's like to be alive / Give it all that we've got."
As a singer, Selena Gomez generally suffers from weaker pipes than some of her peers, like Demi Lovato. However, in " Live Like There's No Tomorrow," Gomez gives a stronger performance than usual. Backed by a catchy pop beat, the song is sure to end up on many young kids' playlists this summer.
