Love Yourself
Justin Bieber 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

The lyrics of Justin Bieber's hit song "Love Yourself" reflect the emotions of someone who has been through a breakup with a person who was not treating them well. The opening lines talk about the times when the other person ruined his happiness and used his name to get into clubs. The person assumes that he has a broken heart but Justin Bieber adds that he isn't going to cry.


As the song progresses, Bieber explains that he wasn't going to write a song, but the other person kept calling him. But he decides to move on, and urges his ex-girlfriend to become a better person. He is done with hiding his true feelings and confesses that his mother doesn't like her. But even after everything, he still doesn't like to admit he was wrong.


Finally, the chorus of the song concludes with Bieber telling his ex-partner that if she thinks that he still has feelings for her, she should remember that he has moved on from her and that she should love herself.


In conclusion, the lyrics of "Love Yourself" are an excellent example of how one can gain empowerment over the other person by showing them that they don't define one's worth and it's important to take ownership of self-love.


Line by Line Meaning

For all the times that you rained on my parade
For all the times you ruined my mood and spoiled my fun


And all the clubs you get in using my name
And how you use my fame to get into exclusive clubs


You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake
You believe you've hurt me, but really it's no big deal


You think I'm crying on my own, well I ain't
You think I'm upset and crying, but I'm actually fine


And I didn't wanna write a song 'cause I didn't want anyone thinking I still care
I didn't want to write a song to make it seem like I still care about you


I don't but, you still hit my phone up
Although I don't care, you keep contacting me


And baby I'll be movin' on and I think you should be somethin'
I'm moving forward and I think you should too


I don't wanna hold back, maybe you should know that
I don't want to hide my feelings, maybe you need to know


My mama don't like you and she likes everyone
My mother dislikes you, and she finds good in everyone


And I never like to admit that I was wrong
I don't like to admit I was mistaken


And I've been so caught up in my job, didn't see what's going on
I've been really busy with work and missed what's happening


But now I know, I'm better sleeping on my own
But now I realize I'm better off sleeping alone


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


Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
You should focus on self-love instead of seeking validation from others


And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
And if you believe I'm still attached to you


You should go and love yourself
You should let go and focus on self-love instead of trying to hold on to something that isn't there


When you told me that you hated my friends
When you expressed your dislike for my friends


The only problem was with you and not them
The real issue was with you, not my friends


And every time you told me my opinion was wrong
And how you always told me my thoughts were incorrect


And tried to make me forget where I came from
And how you tried to erase my roots and where I grew up


For all the times that you made me feel small
For all the times you made me feel insignificant


I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all
I once loved you, but not anymore


I never felt so low when I was vulnerable
I never felt worse than when I was vulnerable with you


Was I a fool to let you break down my walls?
Was I foolish to let you break my emotional barriers?


'Cause if you like the way you look that much
If you're so consumed with your appearance


Oh baby, you should go and love yourself
You should focus on self-love instead of seeking validation from others


And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin'
And if you believe I'm still attached to you


You should go and love yourself
You should let go and focus on self-love instead of trying to hold on to something that isn't there


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


Oh baby, you should go and love yourself (yeah)
You should focus on self-love instead of seeking validation from others


And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm)
And if you believe that I am


Still holdin' on to somethin'
Still attached to you in some way


You should go and love yourself
You should let go and focus on self-love instead of trying to hold on to something that isn't there

"Love Yourself"

For all the times that you rained on my parade

You think you broke my heart, oh, girl for goodness' sake
You think I'm cryin' on my own. Well, I ain't
