The lyrics of Justin Bieber's song What's Hatnin' talk about a relationship that is encountering problems, but the artist is proposing that they can be solved through communication and forgiveness. The verses describe a situation where Bieber is arriving at his partner's house, asking what's happening with them. The chorus then repeats the question, calling on the partner to be more proactive about their relationship and not just talk about things but also take action. The bridge suggests that the couple needs to talk and come to a resolution instead of fighting, and they can have fun tonight as a way of reconnecting.
The song's lyrics show a progression from initial confusion and conflict to a resolution and desire to move forward. It is a relatable theme that many couples face, and Bieber is offering a practical way of dealing with it. The use of UFO as a metaphorical reference in the song might be seen as embracing the strange and unexpected. Maybe it reflects their reconciliation to create something extraordinary that they did not have before. Additionally, the song's catchy lyrics and upbeat music make it a fun and enjoyable tune to listen to.
