Bieber shows us his soft, vulnerable side in this track, the second off his fourth album Purpose. It was released on November 1, 2015 as the third song to pre-order from the album.

 

 

 

The song is likely a response to the highly visible mistakes he made over the course of his carrer up to this point.

 

 

 

With this new track, Justin wants to show everyone how he’s changed. Although he made mistakes, they were magnified by the fact that his every move has been at the center of the public eye since he was 14. With “I’ll Show You,” he explains that he never got the chance, like most teenagers, to mature outside the spotlight.

 

 

 

The video was shot in Iceland and was directed by Rory Kramer.

[Verse 1]

 

My life is a movie and everyone's watching

 

So let's get to the good part and past all the nonsense

 

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

 

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 hurting

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

[Verse 2]

 

I've got to learn things, learn them the hard way

 

Got to see what it feels like, no matter what they say

 

 

 

[Pre-Chorus]

 

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 hurting

 

 

 

[Chorus]

 

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

 

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

 

Act like you know me, but you never will

 

There's one thing that I know for sure

 

 

 

[Outro: Acoustic]

 

I'll show you

 

I'll show you
