Intentions

Justin Bieber featuring Quavo

Picture perfect, you don’t need no filter

Gorgeous, make ’em drop dead, you a killer

Shower you with all my attention

Yeah, these are my only intentions

Stay in the kitchen cookin’ up, got your own bread

Heart full of equity, you’re an asset

Make sure that you don’t need no mentions

Yeah, these are my only intentions

Shout-out to your mom and dad for makin’ you

Standin’ ovation, they did a great job raisin’ you

When I create, you’re my muse

That kind of smile that makes the news

Can’t nobody throw shade on your name in these streets

Triple threat, you a boss, you a bae, you a beast

You make it easy to choose

You got a mean touch, I can’t refuse

...

Already pass, you don’t need no approval

Good everywhere, don’t worry ’bout no refusal

Second to none, you got the upper hand now

Don’t need a sponsor, nope, you’re the brand now

You’re my rock, my Colorado

Get that ring, just like Toronto

Love you now, a little more tomorrow

This how I feel, act like you know that you are

Picture perfect, you don’t need no filter

Gorgeous, make ’em drop dead, you a killer

Shower you with all my attention

Yeah, these are my only intentions

Stay in the kitchen cookin’ up, got your own bread

Heart full of equity, you’re an asset

Make sure that you don’t need no mentions

Yeah, these are my only intentions

No cap, no pretendin’, you don’t need mentions

Got ’em sayin’ “goals,” they don’t wanna be independent

Tell them to mind your business, we in our feelings

It’s fifty-fifty percentage, attention, we need commitment

We gotta both admit it, it’s funny, we both listen

It’s a blessing ’cause we both get it

You the best thing, and I don’t need a witness

I’ma find me a ring and pray it’s perfect fitted

...

Background

The pop star’s latest single, “Intentions” featuring Quavo, is a loving tribute to his wife that reads like an eerie mishmash of corporate slogans. Taking a page from “natural beauty” campaigns, Bieber croons “picture perfect, you don’t need no filter” over equally uninspired ringtone beats. The music video features three women from Los Angeles’ Alexandria House, an organization that helps women and children move from crisis to stability. The video ends with an announcement of a US$200,000 donation from Bieber.
