'Sorry' has a universality about it evident in the subsequent lyrics. Sure, 'Sorry' likely has more than a few notes of remorse for how their relationship ended, but it's reductive to say that a song's lyrics are exclusively about one individual. It's not necessarily about his relationship with Gomez instead, it seems like that relationship, serious and rocky as it was, gave him the necessary perspective to appreciate the weight of an apology.

Who hasn't wished they had one more chance? But 'I just need one more shot at forgiveness'? That speaks to a broader audience than his audience of one, Gomez. She often turned to her pal, a lady by the name of Taylor Swift, in times of distress. Then he turns to outside support - 'Can someone call a referee?' - which could well relate to his relationship with Gomez. Apologies are hard enough in the abstract it speaks to me when he talks about how difficult they are for something so important. I've got to give Bieber props for acknowledging his flaws right off the bat. You gotta go and get angry at all of my honesty You know I try but I don't do too well with apologies I hope I don't run out of time, can someone call a referee? Cause I just need one more shot at forgiveness Let's go old-school English class close-reading on this.

Putting aside for a moment the inevitable 'What is going on with those dancers?' question that must arise from seeing the video, I want to look at the lyrics for 'Sorry' a piece at a time to get a better idea of what he's saying. The lyrics pack a punch from the very first line Bieber isn't holding back for this track. And honestly, given how serious their relationship became, it's a fair interpretation. On the heels of that, it's inevitable that Bieber's lyrics - especially ones as pointed and poignant as 'Sorry' - will be linked back to his relationship with Selena Gomez. When stuff would happen, I would lose my freakinвЂ™ mind, and she would lose her mind, and we would fight so hard because we were so invested in each other.

Your full identity canвЂ™t be in that person. Your girl or your dude, theyвЂ™re always going to disappoint you. But when itвЂ™s like that and you get your value from that, people will always disappoint you. By 18, they had moved in together, but as Bieber tells it, it wasn't the healthiest relationship: We were all about each other. Last month, Bieber was interviewed by Complex, speaking at especial length about his on-again, off-again relationship with Selena Gomez, which began when he was 16. The song is addressed to an unnamed 'you,' but what are Justin Bieber's 'Sorry' lyrics about? Its EDM polish (it was co-produced by Skrillex and Blood Diamonds, two heavies of the EDM landscape today) and brightly dressed dancers belie its apologetic (well, it's called 'Sorry' after all), candid lyrics. At least, that's how I'd best interpret the lyrics for Bieber's latest track 'Sorry,' which dropped earlier today with a poppy, incongruous dance video. Dear Justin Bieber, the confessional mode looks good on you.
