What parents need to know
Parents need to know that like the many Justin Bieber singles that have come before, "U SMILE" is super clean. It's free of profanity, references to sex, substances, and other adult themes.
What's the story?
"U Smile" is the latest single off of My World 2.0 -- the second album from young pop superstar Justin Bieber. This song finds Bieber once again talking about -- what else? -- love and romance. From his sweet yet idealistic perspective, the young crooner aims to take care of his girl's every whim. With lines like "I'd wait on you forever and a day ... Your world is my world ... Your lips, my biggest weakness, I'm always gonna do what they say (hey) ... Baby you won't ever work for nothing," the tune has a tone that might seem slightly co-dependent if sung by an older artist. But from the newly 16-year-old Bieber, it just seems primarily like innocent naivete.
Is it any good?
You've gotta hand it to Justin Bieber: while many of his peers release songs that follow the same boring synth-pop formula, Bieber tries to mix it up with different musical styles. In "U Smile," he chooses a Motown tone, with a slow, rich, piano-based groove that helps to showcase the singer's strong vocals. About this song, Bieber has said it's "one of the best songs [he's] ever recorded" -- and we tend to agree.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the song's themes. Justin Bieber talks about waiting on his girl "hand and foot" and catering to her every need. Is this a realistic view of what it means to be in a healthy relationship? Why or why not?
How can two people in a relationship count on each other yet remain independent?

Justin Bieber uses bad language to his staff and producers
Sorry but this isn't about the CD, it's more about Justin Bieber being a bad role model. Apparently, the music crew is used to being cursed at by him. I personally don't like Justin Bieber, and I think his music is terrible and pointless too. By the way, to learn more about the cursing thing, you can look it up on google.

Not for anyone
Justin Bieber is stupid. He only sings about kissing and stupid love. Love doesn't exist for me, only friendship. I listen to Croatian rock (full of profanity, but talks about reality such as politics and people). Justin Bieber can't be good role model, only characters from Harry Potter can. Boys in my class and myself hate Bieber. Girls, unfortunately, only talk he is "hot and sweet". My parents think he is bad, and they told me that popular people usually aren't good role models. They told me that Albust Dumbledore refused to be a famous politician in wizard world.

Justin Bieber? Try Nirvana and Bowling for Soup if you want music.
His lyrics are........lacking...at best, his songs have no variety, his overall image is just..disgusting. The next time you here about little Justin is on a VH1 special about what drug he is addicted to in 20 years.
