I first heard this a while ago, actually, and my first thought was, this isn't the kind of song that I'd expect as a single. Yet, turns out I was wrong, and after listening to the song a couple more times, I relaxed that it actually will work pretty well on the radio.
Justin's more dancy than ever now with this song. Not that there's anything wrong with that, this album has offered a surprising amount of diversity for Bieber, and he might as well try the style that everyone is loving right now. For the most part the song sounds like a lot of the dance stuff we've heard before, but Justin's voice still manages to sound tender and sweet. Something that is always welcome when pretty much all the major stars are female, or rougher style bands. I feel that the song really breaks out thanks to it's dubstep style beat that interludes between the verses. It's something unique and a lot of fun compared to the more generic eletro-beats out there.
The song doesn't shine too much in the lyric department. It's about two things we've heard before plenty of times, a beautiful girl and dancing. Justin isn't really trying to sound romantic with his voice this time, but it's not like he can really sell emotion in his voice anyways. Might as well just focus on sounding catchy.
We also get a verse from Nicki Minaj, which I feel isn't exactly at her. best. She's spilling out rhymes that make little sense, and doesn't really add anything to the song. I feel that they could have done without her, or at least done it a little better. It just feels like a last minute tack-on to give the song more attention.
There's no reason why this song won't be a hit. Justin Bieber has always had success with his songs, and this one fits in exactly with the market today. It probably won't be a huge smash, but since when has anything Justin Bieber's done been a huge smash? It'll be a fun song to listen to, and that's good enough.
