See media help . </Td> </Tr> <P> "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 ." </P> <P> 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 don'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, didn'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 . </P> <P> 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 ." </P>
