Contents

Background and composition

Producer duo the Audibles first created the instrumental to "Come Around Me" and American singer-songwriter and record producer Poo Bear wrote the song in about 15 to 20 minutes. Bieber later recorded his vocals and did the bridge. [1] The song contains samples from producer Alex Lustigs song, "Synth Such Vibes…", a beat that was created on Slice. It also contains some lyrics that Bieber used on his unreleased song, "Stress", which he recorded in 2013. The instrumental of the song was first teased by being used in Bieber's promotional video for 2020, released on December 24, 2019. [2]

Critical reception

Taylor Weatherby of Billboard ranked "Come Around Me" as the eleventh-best song on Changes, deeming it as "kind of like the older brother to 'Yummy'" and even though the two songs are "sonically pretty different, they're both more geared towards Justin's sex life than his love life", compromising that "even if the sex talk is a little too much for some, at least the undulating chorus is infectious". [3] Insider's Courteney Larocca and Callie Ahlgrim also felt that "Come Around Me" was "pretty good" and praised the post-chorus for Bieber's falsetto and the line, "Let's get it in expeditiously" . [4] Writing for Variety , Jeremy Helligar felt that the song "still manages to be gooey and ear-wormy" even though "Bieber is more concerned with setting a mood then pumping out hooks". [5] Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos opined that "the details of how and when the Biebers will 'get it in expeditiously'" like he said on the song "feel as banal as doing your taxes, and the lyrics sound like they were solely written to be used in #relationshipgoals Instagram posts" and "even when Bieber experiences cheeky moments of wondering 'who taught you how to drive stick,' it sounds more like he is legitimately posing a question about her car-driving skills as opposed to what's going on in the bedroom". [6] Hannah Mylrea of NME wrote that "the repetitive 'Come Around Me' finally feels like it's found some direction towards the end when powerful piano chords and The Weeknd-flecked melodies start, that's when the song tersely ends". [7]

Dance visual

A dance visual for "Come Around Me" was released on March 4, 2020, directed by Nick DeMoura. It starts with three dancers with face masks on at a robbery scene. As they keep dancing as the video goes on, they are joined by more dancers of their crew.
