Love Me (Justin Bieber song). Review & Synopsis: "Love Me " is a song by Canadian recording
artist, Justin Bieber. The track was written by Bruno Mars, Ari Levine, and Phillip Lawrence,
and produced by Bill Malina and DJ Frank E. It was released exclusively to iTunes as the
first promotional single from his debut studio release, My World on October 26, 2009. An
electropop song which also contains dance-pop and R&B music, the chorus interpolates the
1996 single "Lovefool" by the Swedish band The Cardigans. "Love Me" was one of the most
well received tracks on the album, with critics complimenting its electro and club feel, and
its usage of the "Lovefool" sample. The song was produced by DJ Frank E at Side
3 Studios in Denver, Colorado. The song recorded by Bill Malina at Serenity Sound Studio in
Cincinnati, Ohio. Mixing was done by Dave Pensado and Jaycen-Joshua Fowler, at Larrabee
Studios in North Hollywood, California. Taylor Graves and Bonnie McKee provided background
vocals. Bieber originally stated that the third single from his debut album to be released
exclusively on iTunes would be an acoustic remix of his lead single, "One Time", and
that it would be released on October 27, 2009. However plans were changed, and a week before
the release, Bieber announced that a new song, "Love Me" would be released. It was released
a day early on October 26. Bieber took to Twitter with his shock saying that he was
surprised himself. Critics says that:
The song was one of the most well received on the album. Mikael Wood of Entertainment
Weekly said "Bieber's better on "Love Me", where he riffs on the Cardigans' "Lovefool"
atop a killer electro-glam groove." Mark Hirsh The Boston Globe, which was one of the few
reviewers that gave the album a mixed analysis, said that "Love Me" was the essential song
on the set. Washington Post also cited the song as one of the album's best, referring
to it as a "modest club track." The New York Times said the track is "probably the only
release in recent memory that owes debts to both the Cardigans." Mike Diver of BBC Music
called the song an "an electro-infused reinterpretation of The Cardigans' Lovefool, where Bieber exhibits
the right kind of attitude, playful and endearing." Diver preferred Bieber in the song and wanted
more of "the cheeky chap rightfully having the time of his young life", rather than the
"adolescent playboy". "Love Me" had debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 and Billboard Hot
100 at twelve and thirty-seven. It spent twelve non-consecutive weeks on the Canadian chart
and four in the United States. On the week ending January 10, 2010, "Love Me" entered
the UK Singles Chart at eighty-two, and later peaked at seventy-one. It also debuted and
peaked on the UK R&B chart at twenty-three, remaining on the chart for three weeks. It
debuted and peaked in Australia at 100. That's all. Sing along with this Complete
