The pop star's new single seems engineered for maximum social media clout, writes Annie Lord. But Bieber doesn't understand that the best viral videos happen organically. I f you think the most embarrassing thing about Justin Bieber is the way his trousers sit below his bum, you are wrong. He flairs his nostrils to the beat, caresses his moustache with his fingers or sways from side to side holding a fork. Listen to it and you might find yourself blurting out your most guarded secrets — so efficient is it as a means of torture. The upsettingly generic lyrics are purpose-built to hook in phone addicted tweenagers to dance along to in between Juul rips. It is so depressing that the song has been released less as a work of music than a campaign for his forthcoming album, Changes. This, from a singer who only just established himself as credible to a wider audience with his last record, Purpose. In recent months, a number of pop stars have gained popularity through the platform.
