The pop star sang Spears’ “Don’t Go Knockin’ On My Door.”

In the video, Gomez is rocking blue-tinted sunglasses as she stands in front of a dramatic digital backdrop of storm clouds and cyclones.

As little Selena, who's now 28, sings, "You better get off my back/Don't go knockin' on my door," she rips off her sunglasses and stares down the camera.
