So what is the meaning behind Justin Bieber's new song, "Deserve You"? With a chorus that goes, "I feel like I don't deserve you tonight / It's in the way that you hold me," and a pre-chorus that goes, "Night after night you fall asleep on me / I'm prayin' that I don't go back to who I was," per Genius, Bieber expresses his love for wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber and the close moments they share. Specifically, falling asleep together.

"Justin expresses his gratitude that they get to share the intimate act of falling asleep beside one another...," one Genius contributor wrote. "Similar to how in May 2020 Bieber dedicated an Instagram post to his wife as she slept." Whether he's the big or little spoon is not clear, but what is clear is that there's a lot of love, and Bieber never wants to go back to his (comparatively) chaotic old ways. According to Vogue, there's also musical influences — not just his heart — on his sleeve on the track. "['Deserve You'] makes a direct nod to the former Genesis drummer [Phil Collins] with its "In the Air Tonight" dramatic drumroll midway through."

"It was important for me to not only talk about the lovey-dovey stuff but to also talk about some of the struggles," Bieber told Vogue. "A lot of people have lost jobs, lost loved ones... So I hope [Justice] can provide some comfort or stability." We're in!
