On September 29 , 2015 , Justin Bieber announced in an interview with Australia 's Sunrise morning show that British singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran had written a song for his then - upcoming album . Later , during an interview for Capital FM , Bieber revealed details about the song , saying : `` It 's just me and a guitar . Basically that 's how I started , playing on the street with a guitar . '' About Sheeran , he said : `` I think he 's one of the most talented writers in the game right now , so just to have his input and his stories and our stories and match them up together and say ' What have you been through ? , ' and telling the same story . '' In another interview for the same radio network , he commented about the collaboration , stating : `` It was a process . Just getting us together , you know , in the same room cause we did a lot of it separate . He is a good guy , super talented . Really good songwriter so just to be able to work with that calibre of songwriter was really , really awesome . '' In 2017 , Sheeran revealed that `` Love Yourself '' was written for his album ÷ . He said in an interview that the track would have been scrapped before Bieber took the song . On November 9 , 2015 `` Love Yourself '' premiered on Beats 1 along with `` The Feeling '' . The song was also made available on iTunes in the same day as a promotional single of Purpose , and later it was announced as the album 's official third radio single . When talking to Ryan Seacrest , Bieber said `` Love Yourself '' is `` definitely about someone in my past , someone who I do n't want to put on blast , '' he described the song as `` cool because so many people can resonate with that because how many women do we bring back that mom does n't really necessarily like ? . '' Composition and lyrics ( edit ) `` Love Yourself '' A 23 - second sample of `` Love Yourself '' 's chorus , which Bieber described as relatable and `` cool '' . Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Love Yourself '' was written by Ed Sheeran , Benny Blanco and Justin Bieber , with production being done by Benny Blanco , who was also responsible for the song 's instrumentation and programming . It features background vocals by Sheeran . According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony / ATV Music Publishing , the song is composed in the key of E major with a moderately tempo of 100 beats per minute and a time signature of 4 4 . Bieber 's vocals range from the note of B to B. It is an acoustic pop song , featuring just vocals , an electric guitar , and a brief flurry of trumpets , which was considered `` the most subdued and least electronic of Bieber 's new tracks . '' Lyrically , `` Love Yourself '' is a kiss - off to a narcissistic ex-lover who did the protagonist wrong , with Bieber singing in a snappy and spiteful tone while `` hating on a girl for loving herself too much . '' In the pre-chorus , he sings with a husky tone in the lower registers : `` My mama do n't like you , and she likes everyone , '' `` in a style that molds well to Sheeran 's , '' according to Rolling Stone 's Brittany Spanos . `` And I ( never ) like to admit that I was wrong . And I 've been so caught up in my job , did n't see what 's going on , and now I know , I 'm better sleeping on my own , '' he continues . In the chorus , Bieber sings , `` Cause if you like the way you look that much , oh baby you should go and love yourself , '' which according to Digital Spy 's Amy Davidson , `` ' love yourself ' means ' go f * * k yourself ' in this context . '' On March 7 , 2017 , composer Ed Sheeran stated on the Howard Stern Show that he had Rihanna in mind for the song at first , and the original lyric was indeed `` fuck yourself . '' In the song 's bridge , Bieber uses a `` brass - and - vocalese '' style . Critical reception ( edit ) Andrew Unterberger of Spin called it `` an earth - salting , cruelly chuckling kiss - off track , it features an unprecedented - for - Bieber caliber of lyrical detail , and its minimal arrangement allows every lyrical barb to pop like one of the song 's palm - mutes . For such sour grapes , though , ' Love Yourself ' still sounds exultant ; one of many reminders this year that for all his insistence on being a good person , Bieber may ultimately be best served as a Top 40 heel . '' Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly complimented the track as one of her favourites from the album , naming it `` the world 's first campfire - folk diss track . '' Amy Davidson of Digital Spy agreed , calling it a ' deliciously evil poison - pen ballad ' . Sheldon Pearce of Complex praised `` Sorry '' and `` Love Yourself '' for `` display ( ing ) the best of Bieber in tandem : the full scope of his pop stylings -- blue - eyed soul fleshing out both electronic and acoustic spaces . '' Kenneth Partridge of Billboard wrote that Bieber `` overplay ( s ) his renewed spirituality ( ... ) mak ( ing ) like John Mayer doing Sam Smith , '' citing the track as an example . Josh Gonzalez of Music Times thought the song was `` a cool change of pace and nod musically to his 2014 duet with Cody Simpson ' Home to Mama ' , '' adding : `` Bieber is a great vocalist and does well on acoustic tracks . '' For Consequence of Sound editor Janine Schaults , `` all the credit goes to Sheeran 's cherubic magic powers . Refreshingly , just a guitar and a lonely trumpet interlude accompany Bieber 's coy delivery . '' Michelles Geslani of the same publication opined that the track `` sounds exactly what you 'd expect from a meeting of these two minds , '' considering it `` ' Thinking Out Loud ' crossed with low - key , lovelorn Bieber . '' Kitty Empire , writing for The Observer , aprecciated the song for `` strip ( ping ) everything back very effectively to a guitar line and a vocal . '' Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club was mixed , noting that `` despite being a nicely deadpan kiss - off to a snobby ex , is generic acoustic - pop . '' In a less favorable review , Pitchfork 's Brad Nelson wrote that , lyrically , `` it 's needlessly mean , neither funny nor clever , and it does n't do much to justify the severity of its perspective . '' Al Horner of NME noted that the song is `` more traditionally Bieber , and ( its ) big pop hook ( is ) out of place amidst the forward - thinking electronic scuttle . '' Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine called the lyrics `` unintentionally hilarious . '' Alex Macpherson of The National called it `` a cloying Ed Sheeran collaboration . '' Billboard ranked `` Love Yourself '' at number 34 on their `` 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016 '' list . Chart performance ( edit ) United States ( edit ) Bieber became the first male artist since Justin Timberlake ( pictured ) in 2006 to achieve three number - ones in the US from an album . In the United States , the song debuted at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 , giving Bieber his ninth top ten song and his third consecutive top ten debut from Purpose . It also debuted at number two and four on the Digital Songs and Streaming Songs charts , respectively , with 141,000 downloads and 17.4 million streams . The following week , it descended to number seven on the Hot 100 . Two weeks later , it ascended from seven to five on the Hot 100 , meanwhile Bieber 's `` Sorry '' and `` What Do You Mean ? '' were at number two and four , respectively . Thus , as he did three weeks prior when `` Love Yourself '' debuted at number four , Bieber had three concurrent songs in the Hot 100 's top five , becoming the third act to achieve it since 50 Cent in 2005 . Bieber and The Beatles are the only acts to earn the honor as a lead artist on all three songs . On the chart dated February 6 , 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' ascended from three to two on the Hot 100 , meanwhile Bieber 's `` Sorry '' was at number one . With the feat , Bieber became the 17th act in the Hot 100 's history to rank at numbers one and 2 simultaneously . He was also the 11th act to hold the Hot 100 's top two as a lead artist on both songs . The following week , `` Love Yourself '' replaced `` Sorry '' at number one , becoming his third consecutive number - one single . Thus , Bieber was the 12th artist to succeed himself in the Hot 100 's 57 - year history ; the last artist before Bieber was The Weeknd , who is also from Canada . Additionally , Bieber 's Purpose became the first album by a male artist to produce three number - one songs since Justin Timberlake 's FutureSex / LoveSounds did so in 2006 -- 07 . After being replaced at the top of the Hot 100 by Zayn 's debut single as a solo artist , `` Pillowtalk '' , for one week , it returned to the number one position the following date . Also , `` Love Yourself '' replaced `` Sorry '' at the top of the Radio Songs chart with 144 million weekly audience , becoming Bieber 's second number - one song on the chart . However , the next week , `` Love Yourself '' was replaced at the top by Rihanna 's `` Work '' and descended to number two . By the middle of 2016 , the song had sold 1.6 million copies in the U.S. On the chart dated 7 May 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' spent its 23rd consecutive week in the Hot 100 's top ten , breaking the record for the most consecutive weeks logged in the top 10 from a song 's debut , previously set by Nicki Minaj 's `` Starships '' , Maroon 5 's `` Sugar '' and Bieber 's both `` What Do You Mean ? '' and `` Sorry '' . It has since been passed by The Chainsmokers 's `` Closer '' ( 2016 -- 2017 ) , which spent 32 weeks in the top 10 . Additionally , the song spent an eleventh week at the top of the Radio Songs chart . Additionally , on the chart dated 14 May 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' became Bieber 's first chart - topper on the Adult Contemporary chart . The song was the most - played song in the United States in 2016 , with nearly 4 billion audience impressions . During 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' sold 1.8 million copies in the US , thus being listed seventh on the best - selling songs of the year list . Overall , it has sold 2.7 million copies in the country . `` Love Yourself '' finished at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Year - End of 2016 released in December 2016 , becoming Bieber 's highest charting song on Hot 100 Year - End to date , surpassing `` Boyfriend '' on the Hot 100 Year - End of 2012 . This made him the youngest artist to date to receive a # 1 single on a Hot 100 Year - End chart in Billboard 's history . United Kingdom ( edit ) In the United Kingdom , `` Love Yourself '' debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart on 19 November 2015 , after the release of Purpose . The following week , it rose to number two before replacing `` Sorry '' at the top of the chart on 4 December 2015 . Bieber is the first artist to replace themselves at the chart 's summit since Elvis Presley in 2005 . `` Love Yourself '' marked Bieber 's third consecutive chart - topping song in Britain . The following week , the song stayed at the top of the chart with 114,000 combined sales and `` Sorry '' stayed at number two , which made Bieber the first artist ever to knock himself off the top spot with both songs holding at one and 2 for two consecutive weeks . `` Love Yourself '' and `` Sorry '' remained at the same place the next week , which made Bieber the first artist ever to log four weeks at numbers one and 2 consecutively , breaking the record previously held by The Beatles , who logged three consecutive weeks at numbers one and 2 in 1967 -- 68 . `` Love Yourself '' was beaten to the top by NHS Choir 's `` A Bridge Over You '' charity single by nearly 31,000 chart sales . However , the single rose to the number - one spot the next week , logging a fourth week at the summit and claiming the first number - one song of 2016 . The following week , it remained at number one , making Bieber the first artist on the UK Singles Chart to occupy the top three spots on the chart at the same time with `` Sorry '' at number two and `` What Do You Mean ?

On September 29 , 2015 , Justin Bieber announced in an interview with Australia 's Sunrise morning show that British singer and songwriter Ed Sheeran had written a song for his then - upcoming album . Later , during an interview for Capital FM , Bieber revealed details about the song , saying : `` It 's just me and a guitar . Basically that 's how I started , playing on the street with a guitar . '' About Sheeran , he said : `` I think he 's one of the most talented writers in the game right now , so just to have his input and his stories and our stories and match them up together and say ' What have you been through ? , ' and telling the same story . '' In another interview for the same radio network , he commented about the collaboration , stating : `` It was a process . Just getting us together , you know , in the same room cause we did a lot of it separate . He is a good guy , super talented . Really good songwriter so just to be able to work with that calibre of songwriter was really , really awesome . '' In 2017 , Sheeran revealed that `` Love Yourself '' was written for his album ÷ . He said in an interview that the track would have been scrapped before Bieber took the song . On November 9 , 2015 `` Love Yourself '' premiered on Beats 1 along with `` The Feeling '' . The song was also made available on iTunes in the same day as a promotional single of Purpose , and later it was announced as the album 's official third radio single . When talking to Ryan Seacrest , Bieber said `` Love Yourself '' is `` definitely about someone in my past , someone who I do n't want to put on blast , '' he described the song as `` cool because so many people can resonate with that because how many women do we bring back that mom does n't really necessarily like ? .

See media help . `` Love Yourself '' A 23 - second sample of `` Love Yourself '' 's chorus , which Bieber described as relatable and `` cool '' . Problems playing this file ? See media help . `` Love Yourself '' was written by Ed Sheeran , Benny Blanco and Justin Bieber , with production being done by Benny Blanco , who was also responsible for the song 's instrumentation and programming . It features background vocals by Sheeran . According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony / ATV Music Publishing , the song is composed in the key of E major with a moderately tempo of 100 beats per minute and a time signature of 4 4 . Bieber 's vocals range from the note of B to B. It is an acoustic pop song , featuring just vocals , an electric guitar , and a brief flurry of trumpets , which was considered `` the most subdued and least electronic of Bieber 's new tracks . '' Lyrically , `` Love Yourself '' is a kiss - off to a narcissistic ex-lover who did the protagonist wrong , with Bieber singing in a snappy and spiteful tone while `` hating on a girl for loving herself too much . '' In the pre-chorus , he sings with a husky tone in the lower registers : `` My mama do n't like you , and she likes everyone , '' `` in a style that molds well to Sheeran 's , '' according to Rolling Stone 's Brittany Spanos . `` And I ( never ) like to admit that I was wrong . And I 've been so caught up in my job , did n't see what 's going on , and now I know , I 'm better sleeping on my own , '' he continues . In the chorus , Bieber sings , `` Cause if you like the way you look that much , oh baby you should go and love yourself , '' which according to Digital Spy 's Amy Davidson , `` ' love yourself ' means ' go f * * k yourself ' in this context . '' On March 7 , 2017 , composer Ed Sheeran stated on the Howard Stern Show that he had Rihanna in mind for the song at first , and the original lyric was indeed `` fuck yourself . '' In the song 's bridge , Bieber uses a `` brass - and - vocalese '' style . Andrew Unterberger of Spin called it `` an earth - salting , cruelly chuckling kiss - off track , it features an unprecedented - for - Bieber caliber of lyrical detail , and its minimal arrangement allows every lyrical barb to pop like one of the song 's palm - mutes . For such sour grapes , though , ' Love Yourself ' still sounds exultant ; one of many reminders this year that for all his insistence on being a good person , Bieber may ultimately be best served as a Top 40 heel . '' Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly complimented the track as one of her favourites from the album , naming it `` the world 's first campfire - folk diss track . '' Amy Davidson of Digital Spy agreed , calling it a ' deliciously evil poison - pen ballad ' . Sheldon Pearce of Complex praised `` Sorry '' and `` Love Yourself '' for `` display ( ing ) the best of Bieber in tandem : the full scope of his pop stylings -- blue - eyed soul fleshing out both electronic and acoustic spaces . '' Kenneth Partridge of Billboard wrote that Bieber `` overplay ( s ) his renewed spirituality ( ... ) mak ( ing ) like John Mayer doing Sam Smith , '' citing the track as an example . Josh Gonzalez of Music Times thought the song was `` a cool change of pace and nod musically to his 2014 duet with Cody Simpson ' Home to Mama ' , '' adding : `` Bieber is a great vocalist and does well on acoustic tracks . '' For Consequence of Sound editor Janine Schaults , `` all the credit goes to Sheeran 's cherubic magic powers . Refreshingly , just a guitar and a lonely trumpet interlude accompany Bieber 's coy delivery . '' Michelles Geslani of the same publication opined that the track `` sounds exactly what you 'd expect from a meeting of these two minds , '' considering it `` ' Thinking Out Loud ' crossed with low - key , lovelorn Bieber . '' Kitty Empire , writing for The Observer , aprecciated the song for `` strip ( ping ) everything back very effectively to a guitar line and a vocal . '' Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club was mixed , noting that `` despite being a nicely deadpan kiss - off to a snobby ex , is generic acoustic - pop . '' In a less favorable review , Pitchfork 's Brad Nelson wrote that , lyrically , `` it 's needlessly mean , neither funny nor clever , and it does n't do much to justify the severity of its perspective . '' Al Horner of NME noted that the song is `` more traditionally Bieber , and ( its ) big pop hook ( is ) out of place amidst the forward - thinking electronic scuttle . '' Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine called the lyrics `` unintentionally hilarious . '' Alex Macpherson of The National called it `` a cloying Ed Sheeran collaboration . '' Billboard ranked `` Love Yourself '' at number 34 on their `` 100 Best Pop Songs of 2016 '' list . In the United States , the song debuted at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 , giving Bieber his ninth top ten song and his third consecutive top ten debut from Purpose . It also debuted at number two and four on the Digital Songs and Streaming Songs charts , respectively , with 141,000 downloads and 17.4 million streams . The following week , it descended to number seven on the Hot 100 . Two weeks later , it ascended from seven to five on the Hot 100 , meanwhile Bieber 's `` Sorry '' and `` What Do You Mean ? '' were at number two and four , respectively . Thus , as he did three weeks prior when `` Love Yourself '' debuted at number four , Bieber had three concurrent songs in the Hot 100 's top five , becoming the third act to achieve it since 50 Cent in 2005 . Bieber and The Beatles are the only acts to earn the honor as a lead artist on all three songs . On the chart dated February 6 , 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' ascended from three to two on the Hot 100 , meanwhile Bieber 's `` Sorry '' was at number one . With the feat , Bieber became the 17th act in the Hot 100 's history to rank at numbers one and 2 simultaneously . He was also the 11th act to hold the Hot 100 's top two as a lead artist on both songs . The following week , `` Love Yourself '' replaced `` Sorry '' at number one , becoming his third consecutive number - one single . Thus , Bieber was the 12th artist to succeed himself in the Hot 100 's 57 - year history ; the last artist before Bieber was The Weeknd , who is also from Canada . Additionally , Bieber 's Purpose became the first album by a male artist to produce three number - one songs since Justin Timberlake 's FutureSex / LoveSounds did so in 2006 -- 07 . After being replaced at the top of the Hot 100 by Zayn 's debut single as a solo artist , `` Pillowtalk '' , for one week , it returned to the number one position the following date . Also , `` Love Yourself '' replaced `` Sorry '' at the top of the Radio Songs chart with 144 million weekly audience , becoming Bieber 's second number - one song on the chart . However , the next week , `` Love Yourself '' was replaced at the top by Rihanna 's `` Work '' and descended to number two . By the middle of 2016 , the song had sold 1.6 million copies in the U.S. On the chart dated 7 May 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' spent its 23rd consecutive week in the Hot 100 's top ten , breaking the record for the most consecutive weeks logged in the top 10 from a song 's debut , previously set by Nicki Minaj 's `` Starships '' , Maroon 5 's `` Sugar '' and Bieber 's both `` What Do You Mean ? '' and `` Sorry '' . It has since been passed by The Chainsmokers 's `` Closer '' ( 2016 -- 2017 ) , which spent 32 weeks in the top 10 . Additionally , the song spent an eleventh week at the top of the Radio Songs chart . Additionally , on the chart dated 14 May 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' became Bieber 's first chart - topper on the Adult Contemporary chart . The song was the most - played song in the United States in 2016 , with nearly 4 billion audience impressions . During 2016 , `` Love Yourself '' sold 1.8 million copies in the US , thus being listed seventh on the best - selling songs of the year list . Overall , it has sold 2.7 million copies in the country . `` Love Yourself '' finished at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Year - End of 2016 released in December 2016 , becoming Bieber 's highest charting song on Hot 100 Year - End to date , surpassing `` Boyfriend '' on the Hot 100 Year - End of 2012 . This made him the youngest artist to date to receive a # 1 single on a Hot 100 Year - End chart in Billboard 's history . In the United Kingdom , `` Love Yourself '' debuted at number three on the UK Singles Chart on 19 November 2015 , after the release of Purpose . The following week , it rose to number two before replacing `` Sorry '' at the top of the chart on 4 December 2015 . Bieber is the first artist to replace themselves at the chart 's summit since Elvis Presley in 2005 . `` Love Yourself '' marked Bieber 's third consecutive chart - topping song in Britain . The following week , the song stayed at the top of the chart with 114,000 combined sales and `` Sorry '' stayed at number two , which made Bieber the first artist ever to knock himself off the top spot with both songs holding at one and 2 for two consecutive weeks . `` Love Yourself '' and `` Sorry '' remained at the same place the next week , which made Bieber the first artist ever to log four weeks at numbers one and 2 consecutively , breaking the record previously held by The Beatles , who logged three consecutive weeks at numbers one and 2 in 1967 -- 68 . `` Love Yourself '' was beaten to the top by NHS Choir 's `` A Bridge Over You '' charity single by nearly 31,000 chart sales . However , the single rose to the number - one spot the next week , logging a fourth week at the summit and claiming the first number - one song of 2016 . The following week , it remained at number one , making Bieber the first artist on the UK Singles Chart to occupy the top three spots on the chart at the same time with `` Sorry '' at number two and `` What Do You Mean ? '' climbing one place to three . `` Love Yourself '' spent six non-consecutive weeks at number one . On 4 January 2016 , the Official Charts Company announced that ' Love Yourself ' has earned 719,000 combined sales . In Australia , `` Love Yourself '' debuted at number three on the ARIA Singles Chart , after the release of Purpose , giving Bieber his fifth top - three single in the country . That week the singer had three songs inside the top ten : `` Sorry '' ( 2 ) , `` Love Yourself '' ( 3 ) and `` What Do You Mean ? '' ( 7 ) . Two weeks later , `` Love Yourself '' was the most streamed track in the country and rose to number two , also it earned a gold certification for sales of over 35,000 copies . In its fourth week , the song ascended from two to one , dethroning Adele 's `` Hello '' and earning a platinum certification for sales of over 70,000 copies .

The song stayed at the top of the chart the following two weeks . On its third week at number one , Bieber 's ' Sorry ' and `` What Do You Mean ? '' were at number two and eight , respectively .

He also was the first act to have three singles inside the chart 's top ten since 2012 .
