That's so weird.

- I liked that video. I liked that concept.
That's really good.
- That got really disturbing towards the end,
I'm not gonna lie.
- The song is actually beautiful and all that stuff,
and Justin Bieber kills all the notes and the melody,
and then he just hits it perfectly.

- (FBE) That was the music video for "Let Me Love You"
by DJ Snake, featuring Justin Bieber.
Have you heard that song before today? - Yes.
- Yes.
- Yeah, I really like it.
- I've heard it all over the radio.
It's everywhere.
- They play it all the time on the radio.
I didn't know that DJ Snake was in it though.
The song's pretty good, actually.
I'm not gonna lie.
I dropped the Justin Bieber hate train in middle school
because he's really stepped it up.
And the music video, you know, not bad.
I thought it was interesting, you know, there was a little twist in there.
- (FBE) Well, the song was released back at the beginning of August,
but the video was only released on November 29th,
and it already has 10 million views. - That's crazy.
- That's the power of Justin, man.
He has so many stans right now.
- (FBE) So do you think it's a bad thing or a good thing
when a music video comes out much later than the song it's based on?
- I think it can be a good thing because it kind of revives the song.
- I think it actually helps it because you forget about it for a while,
and then you're like, oh yeah, I did like this song.
- It helps sales of the song because it reinvests interest in it
after a long period of time, and also it adds a cool narrative
to the backdrop of the music, so I think it just helps creativity
and the sales as a whole.
- (FBE) So the video starts off straight-forward,
with the couple performing dangerous heists with car chases,
but then the video takes a twist at the end
when we learn who's really behind it all.
What did you think about the ending? - I thought it was cool.
It added a different aspect to the video.
It wasn't just, okay, here's a couple and they're doing bad stuff.
- You're thinking you're watching this whole thing
and then you find out it's not even close
to what you thought you were watching.
- They did it to kind of be relatable to teenagers
because everyone's playing video games.
- I liked the twist, even though it was a little disturbing,
because it was very truthful.
You never know who you're playing games with.
- (FBE) What do you think, if anything,
this video was saying about video games
and about interacting with people online?
- I think it was trying to say, like, you never know.
You never know who you're up against.
You're hiding behind a screen.
- Don't play with people on the internet, kids,
because you may think it's a girl,
but it's really some 40-year-old pedophile or something like that.
I don't know.
- The way that we're perceived online is very different
than the way we're perceived in real life.
You can make yourself seem like anybody on the internet.
- I get the point of the video, but is it necessarily 100% true?
Not really, but, to an extent, you have to be careful
of who you're getting close to on the internet.
- (FBE) Here's a case of an artist like DJ Snake
making this song and the beats, but it is on his album
with Justin Bieber featured on it,
even though you could say every song Bieber,
or a lot of pop artists' on, is generally them singing
to someone else's words and beat,
but it is still identified as their song.
So do you think that artists should start calling out
their producers as featured? - Oh my gosh.
That's a hard one.
If they're just the producer and they're not identified as an artist
in the music industry, then I don't really see the need
for them to be mentioned on the song.
- I think so.
You got to give credit where credit's due.
- It should be featured in it.
- A song wouldn't be the same without their beat.
Writing lyrics and singing is one thing,
but making the actual beat is a process.
- From marketing wise, it's obviously-- that's, like, Justin Bieber.
You want his name bold and up in front.
But the person that makes the music and the beat,
they're the important-- they're a key part of the process,
and I'd like to know what mind that came from.
- Producing's [bleep] hard.
To find the right melodies and when to put in what in a song
to make it sound good, it's something that's really, really underappreciated
and goes way under the radar.
For how difficult it is, it should be appreciated a lot more.
(clang!) - (FBE) Truth!
And, finally, like this song, these days many albums come out
with so many collaborations between artists.
Do you prefer albums to be like this, or do you like it better
when it's just one artist throughout?
- Um, I think I like more of one artist,
just because when you get an album,
you're kind of-- you're going there for that person.
- It's great because, you know, sometimes you find
your new favorite artist on a feature,
but other times, they ruin a song.
- I'd rather have more of the artist, the original artist album on there,
than featured artists because I bought the album
to listen to them and not really other artists.
- It really, really depends because there's great albums
where it's just the person, but then there's people
coming out with albums who feature Kendrick Lamar,
and I'm just like, ah, like my heart already gets so excited
when certain people are featured.
- You want to see your artist shine,
but then it's like, sometimes you're like,
I really want them to collaborate with this person,
and then they do and it's awesome.
- Collaboration is one of the coolest things you can do
because every single person is so different
and they've got such different concepts on the same base emotions
and events, and it's so cool to see them interact
and meld and see what they can create together.
I think it's awesome.
- I'm not opposed to groups or solo artists
as long as you do it right.
You have to make sure you do it right because if it comes out as shit,
then it's gonna be a waste of my and your time.
