Selena Gomez is gearing up for her first performance in 15 months and she's sounding incredible.

The pop superstar hasn't performed live since her Revival Tour was cancelled in August 2016 but will return to the stage at the 2017 American Music Awards this Sunday.

Performing 'Wolves', her brilliant collaboration with producer Marshmello, she has one of the most anticipated performances of the night.

View the lyrics
I was walking down the street the other day
Tryna distract myself
But then I see your face

Oh, wait, that's someone else
Tryna play it coy
Tryna make it disappear
But just like the battle of Troy
There's nothing subtle here, ah-ah

In my room there's a king size space
Bigger than it used to be
If you want, you can rent that place
Call me an amenity, ah-ah
Even if it's in my dreams, ah

Ooh, ooh-ooh
You're taking up a fraction of my mind
Oh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Every time I watch you serpentine

Oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to give in to you
No, no, no, no
Not to give in to you

So, with my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar

I see how your attention builds
It's like looking in a mirror
Your touch, like a happy pill
But still all we do is fear, ah-ah

What could possibly happen next?
Can we focus on the love?
Paint my kiss across your chest
If you're the art, I'll be the brush

Ooh, ooh-ooh
You're taking up a fraction of my mind
Oh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Every time I watch you serpentine

Oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to give in to you
No, no, no, no
Not to give in to you

So, with my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar

And, oh, baby, let's make
Reality, actuality, a reality
Oh, baby, let's make
Reality, actuality, a reality, oh

Oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to give in to you
No, no, no, no
Not to give in to you, oh

So, with my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar

Selena shared a clip of her rehearsing the song on Instagram, in which her voice sounds stronger - and more emotional - than ever.

"My first performance in over a year.. the AMAs have been a place where I’ve shared some of my most intimate moments," she posted with the video.

Reflecting on the career-defining moments she has had at the awards show, she continued: "Heart wants what it wants, after treatment and now Wolves. This Sunday."

Selena is just one of the mega-stars on the A-list line-up, which also includes pop icons Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera and P!nk.

Just this week, Shawn Mendes and Nick Jonas were announced as performers, while Selena's recently rekindled BFF Demi Lovato is on the bill too.

This is going to be a Selena Gomez performance to remember.

Take it or leave it
Baby take it or leave it
But I know you won't leave it
'Cause I know that you need it, ah
Look in the mirror
When I look in the mirror
Baby I see it clearer
Why you wanna be nearer, ah

I'm not surprised
I sympathize, ah
I can't deny
Your appetite, ah

You got a fetish for my love
I push you out and you come right back
Don't see a point in blaming you
If I were you, I'd do me too

You got a fetish for my love
I push you out and you come right back
Don't see a point in blaming you
If I were you, I'd do me too
You got a fetish for my love
You got a fetish for my love
You got a fetish for my love

Reaching your limit
Say you're reaching your limit
Going over your limit
But I know you can't quit it, ah
Something about me
Got you hooked on my body
Take you over and under and twisted up like origami, ah

I'm not surprised
I sympathize, ah
I can't deny
Your appetite, ah

You got a fetish for my love
I push you out and you come right back
Don't see a point in blaming you
If I were you, I'd do me

You got a fetish for my love
You got a fetish for my love
You got a fetish for my love
You got a fetish for my love
You got a fetish for my love

It's Gucci!
The way you walk, the way you talk
I blame you 'cause it's all your fault
Ya playin' hard, don't turn me off
Ya acting hard, but I know you soft
You my fetish, I'm so with it
All these rumors bein' spreaded
Might as well go 'head and whip it
'Cause they sayin' we already did it
Call on Gucci if you ever need and
I'll be South Beach in the drop top gleamin'
Order diamonds, Aquafina
Just need you in a blue bikini

You got a fetish for my love
I push you out and you come right back
Don't see a point in blaming you
If I were you, I'd do me too
