    Justin bieber's 4th studio album shows growth from his previous studio album, "believe" and compilation "journals". He experiments with different genres in this album, pop, r&b and edm. With a length of 48 mins and 18 secs, 13 tracks, 5 different artists on the album and 27 co-writers not counting the 5 other artists. He had 3 #1s on the billboard hot 100 just from this album alone, withJustin bieber's 4th studio album shows growth from his previous studio album, "believe" and compilation "journals". He experiments with different genres in this album, pop, r&b and edm. With a length of 48 mins and 18 secs, 13 tracks, 5 different artists on the album and 27 co-writers not counting the 5 other artists. He had 3 #1s on the billboard hot 100 just from this album alone, with what do you mean debuting at #1. Purpose is certified 4x platinum in North America, Austria, Canada and the United Kingdom. It was the fourth best selling album of 2015, selling over 1 million copies.

    The opening track "mark my words" talks about his relationship with a love interest, however it's an off and on relationship. Hes losing trust, trying to fix the relationship, but their both unhappy and stuck. He shows off his healthy falsetto, with his smooth vocals.
    His second track "I'll show you" is all about being imperfect, he's so pressured by being in the spotlight, causing him to make mistakes without thinking. He learns from his mistakes and fixes himself.
    What do you mean is simple, he talks about how his relationship is confusing, his partner doesn't know what they wanna do.
    Sorry is about well, being sorry.
    Love yourself is about cutting off an ex who's manipulative, and uses him.
    Company is about a one night stand.
    No pressure, is about being surprisingly in love, the love is trying to leave but he won't let go.
    No sense is about justin wanting the person he was in relationship with.
    The feeling is about questioning love, are they really in love, or is it just the feeling?
    Life is worth living is about the worst in relationships, fighting, depression, and separation.
    Where are U now is about needing support from that one person, hes not getting that even when he supported that person.
    Children, "Justin Bieber reaches back to the perfect biggest heart that he wishes he still had. That's the ideal. That's what we all wish we could recover... or at least imitate. And that's what we have to defend and protect in the hearts of our children."
    Last but not least, Purpose, the album name. This song is simply about his relationship with "God".

    Justin also released, "been you","get used to it","we are","trust" and "all in it" on the deluxe version. Usually when an artist release extra songs on their deluxe album, their not good. This is not the case with purpose deluxe. Every one of these songs should've been on purpose, there was no need for a deluxe version.

    Purpose is well produced. You cannot deny that. The lyrics are amazing especially in his more ballad like songs. This is one of those albums I don't skip through. There is no song I dislike off of purpose. Life is worth living is my favorite, also no pressure>no sense.    … Expand

    It’s when Bieber’s honesty feels less-than-honest and the tracks feel less-than-groundbreaking that this album falls short of the heights it should by all means be capable of reaching.

    You can’t hear The Feeling in his voice, which is still one of the most infectiously beautiful in the industry, because as his faith has saved him from his pain, his production team has saved his voice from Justin. It makes for a series of unbeatable mainstream and crossover singles, and a desensitized, unnerving album.
