"Love Me" is a song by Canadian singer
An electropop song which also contains dance-pop and R&B elements, the chorus interpolates the 1996 single "Lovefool" by the Swedish band the Cardigans. "Love Me" was one of the most well-received tracks on the album, with critics complimenting its electro and club feel and its usage of the "Lovefool" sample.
The song peaked in Canada and in the U.S. at twelve and thirty-seven, respectively. The song also charted in the United Kingdom on its main chart and R&B chart, and in Australia. The music video for the song was released on August 3, 2010 and serves as a "tribute to his worldwide fans, thanking them for their support". The dominant scenes are made of up of live performances, behind-the-scenes footage, and Bieber standing in front of a blue and white backdrop dancing. Bieber opened every show on his My World Tour with the song.
