"What Do You Mean?" is a single written by
Canadian singer Justin Bieber for his 4-rth studio soundtrack collection
Purpose (2015). The single was recorded on August 28, 2015, as the album's lead
song by Def
Jam. Written by Bieber, Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd and Mason
Levy, the music was produced by MdL and co-produced by Bieber. "What Do
You Mean?" is a pop and tropical house music, with its instrumentation
consisting in light flourishes of panpipes, looped vocal samples, piano chords,
fervent synths, bass and "slick beat" elements with the voice of a
clock ticking, while Bieber uses a smooth, soulful vocal. Lyrically, "What
Do You Mean?" talks about Bieber asking a girl why her body language is different
with her words.
Music critics mostly appreciated the single's production and
Bieber's vocals. It was featured in several year-end lists of best singles of
2015. Commercially, the tune topped the charts in some countries, including
Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Norway. In Australia, the United States and
the United Kingdom, "What Do You Mean?" was Bieber's best single. The
song's clip features Bieber in bed with a young woman and getting kidnapped by
masked men, as well as an appearance from actor John Leguizamo.
