You & I
Will I Am Feat Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everyone's watchin'
So let's get to the good part
And past all the nonsense
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
It's like they want me to be perfect
'Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
But there's one thing that I know for sure
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I gotta learn things
Learn them the hard way
Gotta see what it feels like
No matter what they say
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
It's like they want me to be perfect
When they don't even know that I'm hurtin'
'Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
You act like you know me, but you never will
But there's one thing that I know for sure
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
'Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
You act like you know me, but you never will
But there's one thing that I know for sure
I'll show you
I'll show you
The lyrics of “You & I” by Will I Am featuring Justin Bieber talk about the challenges of being in the public eye and the pressure to always put on a perfect front while dealing with personal struggles. The song starts with the metaphorical statement that the artist’s life is like a movie and everyone is watching. The artist wishes to skip the unnecessary part and get to the good part, wanting to move past all the irrelevant details.
The second verse of the song talks about the challenging and stressful aspects of being in the public eye, and how it can be hard to do the right thing when everyone is constantly watching and judging. The artist feels pressure to be perfect when they are actually hurting, which highlights that celebrities are human beings too and they also go through challenges like everyone else. The chorus of the song then repeats the phrase “I’ll show you”, which can be interpreted as the artist’s determination to face these challenges and overcome them.
The final verse talks about the artist learning things the hard way and wanting to experience life, no matter what anyone says. Here, there is an underlying message about the importance of personal growth and not just focusing on society's perception of success. Through these lyrics, the artist expresses the notion that regardless of the struggles, they will keep pushing forward and show others that they are capable of overcoming obstacles.
Line by Line Meaning
My life is a movie
My life is scrutinized and watched by everyone
And everyone's watchin'
Everyone is paying attention to everything I do
So let's get to the good part
Let's focus on the positive aspects
And past all the nonsense
And disregard all the distractions and negativity
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
Occasionally, it's challenging to make the correct decision
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
Especially when there is intense stress or a high level of expectation
It's like they want me to be perfect
It feels like people demand me to be flawless
When they don't even know that I'm hurtin'
Even when they are unaware of the pain or struggles I am experiencing
'Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Life is tough for me, and I am not invincible
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Remember that I am a real, imperfect human being
Act like you know me, but you never will
You might think you understand me, but you truly don't
But there's one thing that I know for sure
At least one thing that I am positive about
I'll show you
I will demonstrate my true self to you
I'll show you
I will prove my worth or abilities to you
I'll show you
I will make you see the real me
I'll show you
I will make you understand me
I gotta learn things
I need to learn and grow from experiences
Learn them the hard way
Even if it is challenging or painful to learn
Gotta see what it feels like
I have to experience and understand things for myself
No matter what they say
Regardless of what others may say or advise
