This song is about commitment issues. The chorus says says that they "love you like a love song". Selena Gomez or (the narrator of the song) fails to attach a specific meaning to the love that they have to the individual. Compared to another song such as "Sweet Caroline" or another song where the person who is loved's name is sung in the song, showing their complete love and devotion to the individual. Yet, Gomez can't attach this significance and rather simply says "they love them like a love song". This is also suggested in the first lines of the song "It's been said and done Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one". Gomez seems to be bored with the thought of loving someone, and can not find any uniqueness in the love that she feels for the person she loves.
The song suggests commitment issues by the fact that she keeps hitting "repeat". This means that she has been in several relationships before, playing the same love song only to fall in love with another person, repeating the process. If she truly loved only one person, then she would of chosen the words "and I don't want this song to end" or something to that effect.
The song does have evidence showing she is in love with the unknown person. However, one of the final lines, "You stand alone, to every record I own" suggests that although she loves the person as an individual, she still has other records that she loves or has loved. Reinforcing the repeating nature of the love, and the fact that she probably will add new records to her collection. Overall, showing that she does not have the ability to truly connect to only one love and keeps repeating because of her boredom or the fact that she truly hasn't found the right one to write a real love song about.
