Oh-oh, just as sure as the stars in the sky
I need you to shine in my life
Not just for the meanwhile, for a long long time
Better believe it
Oh-oh, whenever you're not in my presence
It feels like I'm missing my blessings, yeah
So I sleep through the daylight, stay awake all night
'Til you're back again, oh yeah, yeah
You think I'm biased, to my significant other
You hit it right on the head, only been missing my lover
Got a whole lot of texts in my phone and I don't reply
But the next eight bars tell you why
You're all that matters to me, yeah yeah
Ain't worried about nobody else
If I ain't with you, I ain't myself
You make me complete
You're all that matters to me, yeah yeah
What's a king bed without a queen?
There ain't no "I" in team
You make me complete
You're all that matters to me
Take the gas out the car, it won't drive
That's how I feel when you're not by my side
When I wake up in the morning up under you
And only you
Oh-oh, I'm grateful for your existence
Faithful no matter the distance
You're the only girl I see
From the bottom of my heart, please believe
You're all that matters to me, yeah yeah
Ain't worried about nobody else
If I ain't with you, I ain't myself
You make me complete
You're all that matters to me, yeah yeah
What's a king bed without a queen?
There ain't no "I" in team
You make me complete
You're all that matters to me
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
You're all that matters to me
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
You're all that matters to me
About This Song
"All That Matters (Single)" is an intimate R&B-influenced ballad that captures the raw vulnerability of complete emotional dependence on a romantic partner. The song explores themes of obsessive love and codependency, with Bieber confessing that his entire sense of well-being revolves around his lover's presence-sleeping through days and staying awake all night when they're apart, ignoring other relationships, and feeling spiritually incomplete without them. The lyrics reveal a deeper psychological state where the protagonist has lost his individual identity, describing his partner as his "blessings" and suggesting that nothing else in his world holds meaning or value. Musically, the track marked a significant artistic evolution for Bieber, showcasing a more mature, stripped-down production with moody synths, subtle trap-influenced percussion, and his vocals delivered in a breathy, confessional style reminiscent of artists like The Weeknd. This sonic shift toward darker, more adult contemporary R&B reflected Bieber's transition from teen pop star to a more serious artist grappling with complex emotions. The song resonated with listeners because it captured the intoxicating, all-consuming nature of young love with unusual honesty, avoiding typical pop romanticism in favor of acknowledging the potentially unhealthy aspects of complete emotional surrender. Released during a turbulent period in Bieber's personal life, the track felt autobiographical and authentic, allowing fans to connect with his emotional rawness in a way that his earlier, more polished pop hits hadn't permitted.
