Biebs does a lot of husky whispering in this paint by numbers, post-Timberlake boy pop single. No surprises here, just more emasculating lyrics that pander to insipid tween girl fantasy – “If I was your boyfriend/ I’d never let you go”, etc etc. Although there is a line towards the beginning about that caught my attention: “Chillin’ by the fire while we eating fondue”. Is fondue a popular pre-coital meal for 12-year-old girls? I guess if it was chocolate fondue it would kind of make sense.
