Her boyfriend Justin Bieber has been embroiled in an ugly paternity scandal which has rocked his previously squeaky-clean image.

But it appears that no matter what controversy he's involved in, Selena Gomez is determined not to be swayed from her innocent public persona.

The 19-year-old stuck firmly to her Disney roots while filming her playful new music video for Hit The Lights in California.

Butter wouldn't melt: Selena Gomez kept it clean for her new music video Hit The Lights, which she filmed in Chatsworth California this week

Dancing through a sea of pink balloons, the former Wizards of Waverly Place star looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.

The settings for her latest offering include a corn field, a colourful disco, a green field, and a wood.

Selena is seen running through a corn field with some friends, pulling along a giant yellow balloon.

Corn-fed: Selena's buttercup-covered dress and white trainers are the picture of innocence

Her cute buttercup-covered dress and white trainers hardly channel the kind of sexualised image seen in the videos of her contemporaries.

In another shot, Selena continues the balloon theme as she dances in a sea of pink spheres, echoing the bubblegum look of Katy Perry's California Gurls video.

Selena sports a slightly more sultry look for a scene next to a giant fallen tree, showing off her long legs with tiny red hot pants- but still wearing her child-friendly white trainers.

But a nighttime scene sees Selena dancing in a pair of Ugg boots and appropriately innocent white skirt around a fountain firework shooting (also white) sparks from the ground.

Poignantly considering her beau's recent troubles, the lyrics for Hit The Lights include: 'It's the time that you totally screwed up, Still you're trying get it out your brain, It's the fight you had when you didn't make up, It's the past that you're dying to change.'
Justin Bieber is rumoured to have fathered a child after a fling with a fan back in October last year.
He strongly denies the allegations, and told the Today Show last week that he is 'always going to be a target' for these sorts of allegations.

A lawyer for Mariah Yeater, the woman who claims Bieber fathered her child, has said they previously attempted to settle the matter privately.
Nevertheless, Selena has stood by her man, and the teenage couple put the entire controversy behind them for a strong show of affection at recent events.
The pair held hands as they left trendy restaurant L'Avenue before shopping at Louis Vuitton's store surrounded by fans in Paris yesterday.

And their separate performances at Sunday's MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast were perfectly composed displays of professionalism.
Justin, 17, as befitting his status as a impish pop juggernaut received the award for best male, but for his pretty girlfriend, it was a tougher task as she was required to present the entire evening.
Selena showed incredible maturity, sashaying onto the pink carpet at the top of the night without a trace of the recent stress on her smiling face.

She gave a storming rendition of Hit The Lights, strutting about the stage in a glittering purple leotard.
Refreshingly, the couple chose not to pose up together on the carpet in any forced show of affection or solidarity and instead let their combined talent do the talking.
Justin left his girlfriend to shine in her plum role, and chatted to friends such as Heroes actress Hayden Panettiere.

Selena tweeted graciously after the event: 'Thank you MTV for having me host the EMA this year. Thank you to all that followed me throughout this weekend. Thank you to everyone who tuned into this year's MTVEMA I had such an amazing time!!! I love you all.'
Hit The Lights is the third single from Selena's third studio album, When The Sun Goes down, with Hollywood Records.
The Hit The Lights video will be released next Wednesday.
