Baby by Justin Bieber – Review

By: Seth Job, Journalist

Baby by Justin Bieber was released in 2010. It is among some of the first of many songs he wrote. Baby is sung by Bieber and Ludacris. It was and still is a popular song. The music video on YouTube currently has 2.4 billion views. He also has 64,485,257 monthly listeners on Spotify. The song reminds me of when I used to like a girl, but then I never met her again. It was sad. Anyways, here are the lyrics for his song.

[Intro: Justin Bieber]
Oh, woah
Oh, woah
Oh, woah

[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]
You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever and I’ll be there
You want my love, you want my heart
And we will never, ever, ever be apart
Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
We’re just friends, what are you saying?
Said “There’s another,” and looked right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like…

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby no oh
Thought you’d always be mine, mine
Baby, baby, baby oh
Like baby, baby, baby no
Like baby, baby, baby no oh
Thought you’d always be mine, mine

[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]
Oh, for you I would have done whatever
And I just can’t believe we ain’t together
And I wanna play it cool, but I’m losing you
I’ll buy you anything, I’ll buy you any ring
And I’m in pieces, baby, fix me
And just shake me ’til you wake me from this bad dream
I’m going down, down, down, down
And I just can’t believe my first love won’t be around, and I’m like…

[Verse 3: Ludacris]
(Luda)
When I was 13, I had my first love
There was nobody that compared to my baby
And nobody came between us, nor could ever come above
She had me going crazy
Oh, I was starstruck
She woke me up daily, don’t need no Starbucks
She made my heart pound, and skip a beat when I see her in the street and
At school on the playground, but I really want to see her on the weekend
She knows she’s got me dazing, cause she was so amazing
And now my heart is breaking, but I just keep on saying

[Outro: Justin Bieber]
I’m gone, yeah yeah yeah
Now I’m all gone, yeah yeah yeah
Now I’m all gone, yeah yeah yeah
Now I’m all gone, gone, gone, gone, I’m gone

This song is about love being sad, then great. At first in the music video, the girl doesn’t want Justin.

In verse one, he says that she loves him. He says that he will always be there for her whenever she needs him. However, she says that there is another person. Then the chorus is basically Justin’s reaction. He says that he thought that she would always be his.

In verse two, it’s about what he would have done for her. It’s basically like him trying to convince her that he is guys she should be with. He says that he would buy her anything including a ring. He also mentions that he wants her to wake him up from this bad dream. That dream is them not being together.

Then the chorus is the same about him thinking that she would always be his. Then Ludacris comes in for verse three which is about when he had his first love at 13 and that nobody compared to her. Nobody could ever come between them or above them. She drove him crazy. She made his heart so proud that it even skipped a beat. Then it mentions that he sees her a lot and that he wants to hang out with her on the weekends. It’s basically about how amazing she is. However, now his heart is breaking because she doesn’t like him.

Then it goes back to the chorus. It doesn’t say this in the lyrics but in the music video, she gets attracted to him throughout the song. Then the outro is just, “now I’m all gone gone, yeah yeah yeah”, which is where they leave the place in the music video together.

Well that’s all I have for now. See ya next time!
