Naturally

Confession:  I have this song on my iPod rotation.  I can't help it!  It's catchy and I live in a house with two girls who watch Disney Channel and this plays! Gimme a break!  :)
Selena Gomez is another hand picked Disney star who doesn't just sing or act, she does both.  She also is dating a younger man these days.  Her and Bieber are reportedly dating.  Why does an 18 year old girl date a 16 year old boy?  Beyond me but whatever.  
So Selena sings decent.  It is my theory that Disney picks their stars based more on their vocal abilities than their acting abilities.  For me personally I think that is why they originally picked Demi Lovato. In the acting department I think she is very weak but her singing is decent, better than decent actually.  Selena, however, is very decent in both departments thereby making her Disney gold.  Perhaps you could say it comes to her naturally.  (Oh I had to do it!  Hahaha!)
About the song.  On an adult level the chorus makes me think about being comfortable in your own skin.  When you are there is nothing more alluring or sexy.  Being comfortable in your own skin sends a message to others and it is engaging.  I think that is where this song is headed, just on a younger level of course!  :)

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
