Love Me

Edit

“Love Me” is a song by Justin Bieber. It was released exclusively to iTunes as the first promotional single from his debut studio release, My World on October 26, 2009.

Background[]

Bieber originally stated that the third single from his debut album to be released exclusively on iTunes would be an acoustic remix of his lead single, "One Time", and that it would be released on October 27, 2009.[1] However plans were changed, and a week before the release, Bieber announced that a new song, "Love Me" would be released. It was released a day early on October 26. Bieber took to Twitter with his shock saying that he was surprised himself.

Sean Kingston originally recorded this song but was later given to Justin Bieber. They performed the song together at Y-100 Underground on February 6, 2010.

Composition and lyrical interpretation[]

The chorus interpolates the 1996 single “Lovefool” by the Swedish band The Cardigans.

Audio[]

Music video[]

The music video for "Love Me" was directed by Alfredo Flores with Bieber as co-director. It was released on August 2, 2010. Bieber said the video serves as a "tribute to his worldwide fans, thanking them for their support". The dominant scenes are made of up of live performances. Other scenes of the video feature behind-the-scenes footage such as; rehearsal sessions, fan meet and greets, making radio appearances, jokingly walking around with toilet paper sticking out of his pants, and scenes with friends and family. Bieber's mentor, Usher, also makes an appearance in the video.

The video also incorporates Bieber standing in front of a "simple [white] backdrop" dancing and "draw[ing] hearts in the air, presumably directed at his loving fanbase" relative to the songs theme, "Love Me". Bieber performed the song several times including at the new Microsoft Store grand opening in Mission Viejo, California, on the Fearless Tour, on his radio promotion tour and Jingle Ball Tour, and CBS' The Early Show as a part of their Super Bowl programming. He also performed it in an unaired segment of VH1's Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam, and at the 2010 Houston Rodeo with Selena Gomez.

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Oh whoa, oh whoa
It’s JB (JB)

[Verse 1]
My friends say I’m a fool to think
That you’re the one for me
I guess I’m just a sucker for love
‘Cause honestly the truth is that
You know I’m never leaving
‘Cause you’re my angel sent from above

[Pre-Chorus]
And baby you can do no wrong
My money is yours
Give you little more because I love ya, love ya
With me, girl, is where you belong
Just stay right here
I promise my dear, put nothing above ya, above ya

[Chorus]
Love me, love me, say that ya love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that ya miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear, tell me you love me
Love me, love me, say that ya love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how ya do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that ya miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear, tell me you love me

[Verse 2]
People try to tell me but I still refuse to listen
‘Cause they don’t get to spend time with you
A minute with you is worth more than
A thousand days without your love, oh your love

[Pre-Chorus]
And baby you can do no wrong
My money is yours
Give you little more because I love ya, love ya
With me, girl, is where you belong
Just stay right here
I promise my dear, put nothing above ya, above ya

[Chorus]
Love me, love me, say that ya love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that ya miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear, tell me you love me
Love me, love me, say that ya love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how ya do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that ya miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear, tell me you love me

[Bridge]
My heart is blind but I don’t care
‘Cause when I’m with you, everything else disappears
And every time I hold ya near
I never wanna let you go, oh

[Chorus]
Love me, love me, say that ya love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how you do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that ya miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear, tell me you love me
Love me, love me, say that ya love me
Fool me, fool me, oh how ya do me
Kiss me, kiss me, say that ya miss me
Tell me what I wanna hear, tell me you love me
