As Long As You Love Me (feat. Big Sean)
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We're under pressure
Seven billion people in the world tryna fit in
Keep it together
Smile on your face, even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know, girl
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me, love me
As long as you love me, love me
I'll be your soldier
Fighting every second of the day for your dreams, girl
I'll be your Hova
You could be my Destiny's Child on the scene, girl
So don't stress and don't cry
Oh, we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me, love me
As long as you love me, love me
I don't know if this makes sense, but you're my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, I'll rendezvous it
I'll fly you to it, I'll beat you there
Girl, you know I got you
Us, trust, a couple things I can't spell without U
Now we on top of the world
'Cause that's just how we do
Used to tell me sky's the limit, now the sky's our point of view
Man, we stepping out, like woah (oh, God)
Cameras point and shoot
Ask me what's my best side
I stand back and point at you, you, you
The one that I argue with
Feel like I need a new girl to be bothered with
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
It's green where you water it
So I know, we got issues, baby, true, true, true
But I'd rather work on this with you
Than to go ahead and start with someone new
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum (platinum)
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me (I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (it's all I want, baby)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (please, don't go)
As long as you love me, as long as you love me, 'long as you love me
As long as you love me
O Amor Como Refúgio: Uma Análise de As Long As You Love Me de Justin Bieber
A música 'As Long As You Love Me', interpretada por Justin Bieber e com participação do rapper Big Sean, é uma declaração de amor que enfatiza a importância do sentimento acima das adversidades materiais. Lançada em 2012, a canção faz parte do álbum 'Believe' e se destaca por sua melodia pop com influências de R&B, refletindo o amadurecimento musical de Bieber na época.
No contexto lírico, Justin Bieber expressa um amor incondicional, onde a presença e o afeto da pessoa amada são mais valiosos do que qualquer bem material ou situação de conforto. A repetição do verso 'As long as you love me' (Enquanto você me amar) reforça a ideia de que o amor é o suficiente para superar obstáculos como a pobreza, a falta de moradia ou qualquer outra dificuldade ('We could be starving / We could be homeless / We could be broke'). A canção sugere que o amor oferece um tipo de riqueza que não pode ser medida em termos materiais, com Bieber prometendo ser o 'platinum', 'silver' e 'gold' da pessoa amada, metáforas para algo valioso e precioso.
Big Sean, em sua participação, traz um toque de rap que complementa a mensagem da música com referências culturais, como 'Hova' (apelido de Jay-Z) e 'Destiny's Child', e jogos de palavras como 'Us, trust, a couple things I can't spell without U'. Ele aborda a ideia de que, mesmo diante de problemas ('we got issues, baby'), é melhor trabalhar juntos em um relacionamento existente do que buscar algo novo, destacando a importância da lealdade e do compromisso. A música, portanto, celebra o amor como um refúgio seguro e uma fonte de força, independentemente das circunstâncias externas.
