this song is an in-depth look into Justin Bieber's mind, it is about an insight into his deep seated fear of connecting and committing in relationships so he feels he has to fix himself, and cure his low self esteem, it could also be a way of him saying that he thought fame would fix this problem allowing him a world of girls to connect to, though they are all vain and a cancer on his life and so he calls them a fever. the symbolization of him describing them as a fever, shows the warmth he may feel gradually, however his acceptance of there overwhelming love, seems less of an illness at first but he knows deep down that the only thing that can cure his underlying fear of relationship isn't overzealous love, or sexual acknowledgment it is learning to love himself. as you can never truly share in love until you love yourself.
