The album had 2 singles, Round and Round and the flawless, emo dance ballad A Year Without Rain. AYWR is Selena's fastest selling album in the U.S despite not having a big hit supporting it. AYWR features a track co-written by one of Selena's friends and idols, Katy Perry titled Rock God. There were plans for a 3rd single to be released and Selena was deciding between Rock God and Off The Chain but the 3rd single got scrapped and they moved on.

Round and Round is the lead single from AYWR and is penned by Kevin Rudolf and FeFe Dobson. The song is described as a dance-pop song with rock and disco beats. Selena filmed the music video for the single in Budapest, Hungary. She was filming a movie at the time and the label thought it'd be great to film the video there! But not even the beautiful scenery could save the disastrous music video that was made which had no clear purpose or plot.

Critics also complimented Gomez's vocal maturity saying that may not have the strongest voice but "she makes a strong effort to attack high notes in this song". The music video was shot in a desert and is Selena's most beautiful video to date.
