Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
I gave you the key when the door wasn't open
Just admit it
See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can't deny it
Now I'm all alone and my joys turned to moping
Where are you now? (where are you now?)
Where are you now that I need ya?
Couldn't find you anywhere
When you broke down I didn't leave ya
I was by your side
So where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I gave you attention when nobody else was payin', hm
I gave you the shirt off my back whatchu sayin'
To keep you warm
I showed you the game everybody else was playin', that's for sure
And I was on my knees when nobody else was prayin', oh Lord
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, (Where are you now that I need ya?)
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you the most
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
Where are you now that I need ya?
I need you the most
I need you the most
I need you the most
The lyrics to Justin Bieber's "Where Are You Now" express his feelings of abandonment and frustration as he searches for someone who was once there for him but is now gone. The repetition of the phrase "I need you" emphasizes his desperation and longing for this person. The first verse suggests that Bieber trusted this person and gave them everything he had, including his faith and hope. But now he is alone and sad, wondering where this person is when he needs them the most. The second verse highlights the sacrifices Bieber made for this person. He gave them attention, his time, and even the shirt off his back to keep them warm. He also introduced them to new experiences and perspectives. Despite all this, the person is nowhere to be found when Bieber needs them.
The chorus repeats the question "Where are you now that I need ya?" Each time, it becomes more urgent and emotional, reflecting Bieber's growing frustration and despair. The final verse adds a spiritual aspect to the song as Bieber prays for this person, hoping they will return to him when he needs them the most. Overall, this song explores the theme of disappointment and the pain of being let down by someone you trusted and cared for deeply.
