What parents need to know

Parents need to know that there’s not a lot to worry about in this single: it lacks foul language and mature content, focusing instead on innocent -- and idealized -- puppy love.

  • Bieber's proclamations that his crush can "do no wrong" is naive, but his message is sweet.
  • In Bieber’s short time in the public eye, he’s maintained a drama-free lifestyle, setting a good example for his growing legions of tween fans.
  • Not applicable.
  • A couple of references to kissing.

What's the story?

Fifteen-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber continues his salute to love on the aptly titled LOVE ME, a single from his full-length album My World. Like his smash debut hit “One Time,” this track once again finds Bieber pouring his heart out to his “angel,” declaring his feelings in every way imaginable. The tune is instantly recognizable as a classic ode to puppy love, containing no overtly offensive lyrics beyond a couple of mild references to kissing. However, parents should be prepared to explain to their tweens that real love is a lot different than how Bieber describes it: “Baby you can do no wrong…My heart is blind…When I’m with you, everything has disappeared.” 

 


Is it any good?

 

Taking center singing stage at fifteen years old is a tall order that Bieber fulfills fairly well, with his maturing voice remaining solid on this track. He makes an admirable attempt to separate the tune from the synth-pop pack by sampling the ‘90s hit “Lovefool” by Swedish band The Cardigans. Sprinkling bouncy beats throughout the sample, Bieber comes up with a refreshingly unique song that makes you want to hit the Replay button more than once.

The chorus is a bit too iffy.
Your kids won't understand the chorus. It is a bit too sexy for little kids. "Fool me, fool me. Oh, how you do me!" Little kids will not understand the act of "doing". The rest is squeaky clean love.

Adorable for EVERYONE :)
Cute song!! Justin Bieber is all the rage for ALL AGES, which is a great thing. Older girls think he's hot (at least most of them), and all the rest just love his adorable, catchy music. My 4-year-old brother dances along to Justin Bieber 24/7. He is just a cute kid trying to find his way in the world (that sounded REALLY cheesy ;D) so cut him some slack!!

This song is very catchy, and if Justin sang at American Idol, he might be in the finals. He's a great role model because of how he was discovered, it taught me that anything can happen at anytime, and inspired me to sing more, and that there could be a chance that I could end up like Justin. This is a great song!
