As the song progresses, Bieber takes the lead on the second verse, injecting his unique style and charisma into the lyrics. With lines like, “In a droptop ride with you, I feel like Scarface/ Like that white b—ch with the bob, you’ll be my main one/ Let’s take this argument back up to my place/ Sex reminds you I’m nonviolent, I’m your day one,” Bieber’s vocals exude confidence and vulnerability, creating a captivating contrast that keeps listeners hooked.
