“Déjà Vu” is a song by Post Malone featuring Justin Bieber. The song was supposed to be released on August 26, 2016 but the album was postponed.
Background[]
Dre London, Post Malone's manager brought Louis Bell up to the studio house that Post was working in. Bell went up there with producer Frank Dukes, Dukes had played Post the rough beat of the song which became “Deja Vu.” Then Post had laid down his parts with Louis Bell, and he helped Post structure the song and put it together.
Several weeks later, in January 2016 when Justin Bieber visited Malone in the studio. “We were halfway through (his debut album Stoney) and ended up renting a house,” explains Bell. “On the first day Justin came in and we played him a track that Frank Dukes had done.” Bieber heard the beat and said, “Oh, let me jump on that.” He ended up freestyling the whole song in the booth, and him and Post went back and forth with ideas.[1][2] The song was first teased when Post and Justin were partying at Clé in Houston, TX.

[Intro]
Oohh
Oh
[Verse 1: Post Malone]
Cause I can't take it no more
No you ain't like them bitches, tell them hoes adios
And you can drop your panties, leave them shits at the door
Dior falls on the floor, I swear we been here before
I'm tryna see you from my own perspective
You all in my section tryna come to my session
We runnin' a pressure, you know that we flexin'
We bought all the bottles, we came with the models
Girl this a confession, I'm not like your exes
I came in from Texas, and now that we textin'
You can fly in whenever
Now you undressin'
Panties on the dresser, your hair gettin' messed up
The feelin' we catchin', my love is a blessin'
Made love in that Lexus, made love in that Lexus
I know you remember
[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Post Malone]
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause you want me and I want you
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause baby it ain't nothing new, no
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause you want me and I want you
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause baby this ain't nothing new, no
[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]
Oh you actin' reckless
I told you that I need affection
So let me point you in the right direction
It's so important that you get the message
Yeah I gotta say
Gotta say somethin' to you, you, you
I'm on a roll
I'm gonna roll out in that new, new, new
If you wanna do what I wanna do
Well uhm, uhm, uhm
Well I guess that's just deja vu
[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Post Malone]
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause you want me and I want you
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause baby it ain't nothing new, no
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause you want me and I want you
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause baby this ain't nothing new, no
[Bridge: Justin Bieber & Post Malone]
Tell me if you want it baby
Cause I know I can drive you crazy
I just wanted you to know now
Oh-oh, oh-ohhh
Show up in that new Mercedes
You already know I'm faded
Girl I've been thinkin' about you lately
Oh-oh, oh-ohhh
[Chorus: Justin Bieber & Post Malone]
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause you want me and I want you
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause baby it ain't nothing new, no
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause you want me and I want you
Tell me is that deja vu?
Cause baby this ain't nothing new, no
[Outro: Post Malone]
Cause I can't take it no more
No you ain't like them bitches, tell them hoes adios
And you can drop your panties, leave them shits at the door
Dior falls on the floor, I swear we been here before
