Common Denominator
Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a fraction of your love
Fills the air
And I fall in love with you
All over again, woo woo woo
You're the light that feeds the sun
In my world
I'd face a thousand years of pain for my girl
Out of all the things in life that I could fear
The only thing that would hurt me,
Is if you weren't here, whoa

I don't wanna go back to just being one half of the equation
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Girl, without you I'm lost
Can't face this compass at heart
Between me and love,
You're the common denominator
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Common denominator
Oh, yeah, whoa

Before you're love was low
Playing girls was my high
We chase the game that would put
My cot in the side, aye
When broken hearts rise up to say,
Love is a lie
You and I would stand to be love's reply

Out of all things in life that I could fear, yeah
The only thing that would hurt me is if you weren't here, whoa

I don't wanna go back to just being one half of the equation
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Girl, without you I'm lost
Can't face this compass at heart
Between me and love,
You're the common denominator
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Common denominator
Oh, yeah, whoa

I can't imagine life without your touch
And every kiss that you give, can fill me up
And to all the heart aching
Jealous females hatin'
I'mma hold it down for you, you
You, whoa, oh, whoa
You're the common denominator
Oh yeah, whoa

I don't wanna go back
I don't want to go back
To just being one half of the equation

I don't wanna go back to just being one half of the equation
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Girl, without you I'm lost
Can't face this compass at heart
Between me and love
You're the common denominator
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Common denominator
Oh, yeah, whoa

Just a fraction of your love fills the air
And I fall in love with you all over again

Overall Meaning

In Justin Bieber's song Common Denominator, he professes his love for a girl who is the reason for his existence. The song begins with how just a fraction of her love fills the air, and every time he falls in love with her all over again. He compares her to the light that feeds the sun in his world, and his girl for whom he would face a thousand years of pain. The song's chorus is the title, "You’re the common denominator," which means that she is the one who makes everything in his life complete.


He confesses that he no longer wishes to go back to being one half of the equation, referring to his life without her. He can't imagine life without her touch or kisses that fill him up. Jealous females who hate on their relationship should know that he'll "hold it down" for her, making it clear that he values her and is committed to their relationship. The last verse again repeats the opening lyrics; just a fraction of her love fills the air, and he falls in love with her all over again.


Overall, the song is a tribute to true love and how it is the common denominator that fulfills a person's life. It also emphasizes the importance of the presence of the people we love in our lives, making everything worthwhile.
