It was just a little while ago when I was saying how I didn't care much for "All Around The World," Bieber's promotional single, but the official second single is much better.
Stylistically the song is something pretty interesting. It's still got that dancy edge to it, yet it's a bit more slow and tender than your party anthems. It's a good combo because people seem to appreciate the tender side of Bieber, yet they also like something they can dance to. The song takes a gentle flow through the lyrics, but things pick up around the chorus. While it's not the most in depth set of words, there's just something catchy about the dubstep style, "La la la la love me."
Lyrically the song has a lot more structure. It's the same old love song that we've heard before, however it does deliver a meaning at least. It's a loving song, and that's Bieber's specialty, it's probably best that he sticks to it. In the song he sings about being able to survive hardships as long as he has the love of someone. Yes, it's corny, but that's Bieber for you.
The song also features a verse from Big Sean. It doesn't really add anything, but it does help break things up. Big Sean fits in nicely, so I'm not going to complain. Rap verses are common now, but finding one that actually connects to the song's meaning is always nice.
Clearly this is a good choice for a second single. It's still showing off a new style of Bieber, but it stays true to the things that make him popular and loved. Maybe he'll get his biggest hit yet out of this. Or maybe not. But it does seem likely that it will be big.
