Yesterday, Justin Bieber got his own musical memo from The Weeknd, taunting him about the fact The Weeknd is now dating his on-off ex Selena Gomez, and Bieber is sore about it (choice lyric: “I just took that chick, and I know you feelin’ some way, oh yeah/She just want a n–a like me, you feelin’ some way, way, way, yeah”).
This morning, Gomez herself released her latest song with Kygo, “It Ain’t Me.” And it appears to be her way of saying things are absolutely, positively done between her and the Biebs through song.
Gomez co-wrote the single, which includes lyrics about all she did for the guy she met when she was 17 (Gomez and Bieber met in 2009, when she was that age) and won’t anymore
Below, the lyrics, annotated:
I had a dream
We were sipping whisky neat
Highest floor, The Bowery
And I was high enough
Somewhere along the lines
We stopped seeing eye to eye
You were staying out all night
And I had enough
No, I don’t wanna know where you been or where you’re going
But I know I won’t be home
And you’ll be on your own
Chorus:
Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
Who’s gonna rock you when the sun won’t let you sleep?
Who’s waking up to drive you home when you’re drunk and all alone?
Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
It ain’t me
It ain’t me
It ain’t me
It ain’t me
I had a dream
We were back to seventeen
Summer nights and the liberties
Never growing up
I’ll take with me the polaroids and the memories
But you know I’m gonna leave behind the worst of us
Chrous:
Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
Who’s gonna rock you when the sun won’t let you sleep?
Who’s waking up to drive you home when you’re drunk and all alone?
Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
It ain’t me
It ain’t me, no no
It ain’t me, no no
It ain’t me, no no
Who’s gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
It ain’t me
It ain’t me
It ain’t me
In one of her final interviews on Bieber, Gomez told W magazine in February 2016: “I’m so exhausted. I honestly am so done. I care about his health and well-being. But I can’t do it anymore
