Cover art for Yummy lyrics by Justin Bieber

It was a bold choice on Justin’s part to drop a summer anthem in the winter. He’s received some flack for that, and for the song itself, which is understandable. This is his first solo single since 2015, and it has received mixed reviews from his fans. A lot of people on Twitter weren’t happy with the song, saying it wasn’t the right vibe or that he seemed too desperate for people to listen and buy it. The lyrics can get a little repetitive and seem braggy, but a lot of successful pop music has the exact same ingredients.

Justin’s promo choices may be what hurt the song’s reputation in the end, because he pushed it so heavily on social media. Although I understand some of the criticism for Yummy, I think overall it’s a solid song with a good beat and a melody that gets stuck in your head. One thing that can’t be denied about Yummy; it’s a classic example of a catchy, bubblegum pop song by an artist who’s an expert in the industry. And it’s definitely on my playlist.
