Love Yourself
Bieber Justin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For all the times that you rained on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake
You think I'm crying on my own, well I ain't

And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
I don't but, you still hit my phone up
And baby I'll be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

When you told me that you hated my friends
The only problem was with you and not them
And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
And tried to make me forget where I came from

And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
I don't but, you still hit my phone up
And baby, I be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that
My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

For all the times that you made me feel small
I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all
I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?

'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself
'Cause if you like the way you look that much
Oh baby, you should go and love yourself (yeah)
And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm)




Still holdin' on to somethin'
You should go and love yourself

Overall Meaning

"Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber is an introspective song that explores the end of a relationship. However, the main idea behind the song is that he no longer cares for his ex-lover and his life has improved since their breakup. He begins by accusing his lover of raining on his parade, and then moves on to accuse her of only using his name to gain fame. He questions her about why she thinks she broke his heart, and tells her that he is not crying over the situation.


The lines "And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care / I don't but, you still hit my phone up" depict that although the relationship is over, the girl still tries to contact him. However, Justin is clear that he has moved on, and suggests that she should do the same.


In conclusion, the song is about self-love and self-respect. Justin advises his ex-lover to love herself instead of expecting someone else to do it for her. Perhaps this is a reflection of his own journey of self-love and self-acceptance. While the song could be interpreted in different ways by different people, it is clear that Justin is better off without his ex-lover.


Line by Line Meaning

For all the times that you rained on my parade
You have made it hard for me to feel good about myself


And all the clubs you get in using my name
You use our relationship for your own personal gain


You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake
You believe that you have hurt me emotionally, but I am not as affected as you think


You think I'm crying on my own, well I ain't
You assume that I am feeling sad and alone, but I am actually doing just fine on my own


And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
I did not want to give you the satisfaction of knowing that I am still emotionally invested in this relationship


I don't but, you still hit my phone up
I am not interested in communicating with you anymore, but you continue to try to contact me


And baby I'll be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
I am ready to move on from our relationship and think that you should also focus on yourself


I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that
I don't want to hide my true feelings anymore, and you should be aware of them


My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
Even my mother, who generally likes everybody, does not approve of you


And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I don't usually like to confess to my mistakes or faults


And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
I have been very busy with work and have not fully realized the issues in our relationship


But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own
I have come to the realization that I am better off alone than in a dysfunctional relationship


'Cause if you like the way you look that much
If you are so obsessed with your own appearance


Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
You should focus on loving yourself instead of relying on others for gratification


And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
If you believe that I still have feelings for you


You should go and love yourself
You should learn to love yourself and not depend on others for validation


When you told me that you hated my friends
When you expressed dislike for my close friends and tried to manipulate me into distancing myself from them


The only problem was with you and not them
I now realize that the issue was not with my friends, but rather with you


And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
Whenever you belittled or dismissed my thoughts and ideas


And tried to make me forget where I came from
And attempted to erase my past and individuality


For all the times that you made me feel small
For every instance when you diminished my sense of self-worth and confidence


I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all
I used to have strong feelings for you, but now I am completely indifferent


I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
During times when I was most open and exposed, you made me feel worse than ever


Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
I now regret allowing myself to become so emotionally vulnerable with you

"Love Yourself"

For all the times that you rained on my parade
And all the clubs you get in using my name
You think you broke my heart, oh, girl for goodness' sake
You think I'm cryin' on my own. Well, I ain't

But you still hit my phone up
And, baby, I'll be movin' on
And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back
Maybe you should know that

My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
And I never like to admit that I was wrong
