What About Love Parody
Bart Baker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Austin Mahone:] I- I'm a clone of Bieber, wear oversized sneakers, and sing into mirrors.
And my- my government grew me, in a laboratory, to become the next big teen hearthrob.

[Scientist 1:] Everything's looking good, next we should, test out how he performs the hook!

[Austin:] Now I'm outside, my friends are dancing like tools.
See a black guy, and high five him so that I look cool.
Chasing a broad, acting like I am in love.
Singing a song, that sounds twenty years old and also my hat is dumb.

[Justin Bieber:] Who is this scum?

[Austin:] Why are you walking away? I guess you must be gay, 'cause I'm fucking perfect, bitch.

[Girl:] No, it's because you look 9, and I hope you realize, that this song sounds just like, Bye Bye Bye.

[Scientist 1:] Everyting's looking great, with Austin.

[Scientist 2:] Wait, who is that?

[Scientist 1:] Oh shit it's Justin.

[Justin:] This needs to stop.

[Scientist 2:] Crap he found us this is bad.

[Justin:] You think you're hot, but you don't even wear drop crotch pants

[Austin:] Justin piss off, I'm the new you kiss my ass

[Justin:] That's the last straw, I challenge you to a swag match

[Austin:] OK it's on! Swag swag swag swag swag.

[Justin:] Like Donkey Kong! Swag swag swag swag swag swag swag.

[Scientist 2:] What the hell is happening?





[Scientist 1:] Their egos are colliding, it is causing an earthquake, we need to deactivate.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bart Baker's song "What About Love Parody" satirize the pop music industry, particularly the tendency for up-and-coming teen pop stars to mimic those who came before them. Austin Mahone is portrayed as a clone of Justin Bieber, who was himself a clone of other pop stars that came before him. The scientists who created Austin treat him like a product, testing his ability to perform a catchy hook. The lyrics point out the superficiality of pop music, with Austin's ridiculous oversized sneakers and silly hat, suggestive choreography, and repetitive, unoriginal lyrics. The song also satirizes the rivalry between teen idols, with Justin Bieber challenging Austin to a "swag match." The scientists in the music video represent the corporate machine behind the pop industry, driven by profits and marketability rather than creativity or originality.
