Justin Bieber might be a pop star, best known for his catchy, upbeat songs, but his catalog is actually a lot more diverse than that.
Hidden among his energetic club bangers are love songs and heartfelt ballads that would be perfect for any wedding procession or first dance.
Whether you’re looking for songs that evoke feelings of young love or odes to mature romance, Justin has you covered.
Of course, his pop hits make great reception songs, and will surely help get the party started (after you’ve made it down the aisle).
Here are 14 of the best Justin Bieber wedding songs — for every stage of the occasion.
“Baby”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“When I was 13, I had my first love/ There was nobody that compared to my baby/ And nobody came between us, nor could ever come above”.
Justin Bieber’s breakout hit, “Baby” is the perfect wedding song for couples who were high school sweethearts or friends growing up.
The catchy lyrics signify that, even though the carefree days on the playground are long gone, you’ll always cherish the memories from that time.
Plus, this nostalgia-inducing gem will definitely energize your guests during the reception!
“Love Me”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“My heart is blind but I don’t care/Cause when I’m with you everything has disappeared/And every time I hold you near/I never wanna let you go, oh.”
Unfortunately, life isn’t always like it is written in the storybooks. Neither is love, for that matter. However, true love is a powerful force that’s capable of transforming you inside and out.
It can also help you block out life’s rather unpleasant aspects, just like the scenario painted in “Love Me.”
And really, that’s all you can ask for!
“Someone to Love”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“I just need somebody to love (oh no, no)/I don’t need too much, just somebody to love.”
At the end of the day, true love is all anyone needs.No matter what obstacles we face, it’s always a little easier when we have someone in our corner.
“Someone to Love” is a catchy dance anthem that you should definitely have on your reception playlist. The sweet lyrics and catchy techno dance beats can pair well with an evening wedding, as neon lights set the whole place aglow.
“Love You Different”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“I will (I will)/Love you (love you)/Different (different)/Just the way you are.”
Love isn’t always roses and sunshine. In fact, loving the wrong person can turn you off on the whole romance thing altogether.
Thankfully, crossing paths with the right person, who vows to love you differently, like Justin Bieber’s catchy tune, can make all the difference.
“As Long as You Love Me”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Don’t care what is written in your history/As long as you’re here with me.”
Weddings can feel like magical, fairytale-like affairs; however, real love doesn’t always feel like that. More importantly, everyone has a past that’s not always so rosy and ideal.
But if you’re with the right person, it doesn’t really matter — a sentiment JB beautifully expresses in “As Long as You Love Me.”
Consider this bluesy melody for a first dance! Or, you can add it to your reception after your guests have tired of the upbeat songs and want to sway to a mellow groove.
“Habitual”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“My love for you’s habitual, yeah (So habitual)/Not for a moment, but forever/Know it sounds untraditional, oh yeah (No).”
As much as we’d like to believe differently, love sometimes feels involuntary — as if we can’t help but love the person who has our heart.
This is the scenario that Bieber sings about in “Habitual,” his 2020 hit, making it the perfect song for a first dance or, if you’re a bit nontraditional — as Justin sings in the song — you can even use it for your bridal procession.
“All That Matters”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Oh, oh, whenever you’re not in my presence/It feels like I’m missing my blessings, yeah/So I sleep through the daylight, stay awake all night/’Til you’re back again, oh yeah, yeah.”
The strongest relationships have firm foundations where everyone in your life (besides perhaps your kids) comes second to your spouse. “All That Matters,” Bieber’s 2017 foray into a more R&B sound, is a great expression of that fact.
Also, you add in a bit of longing and yearning, making it a great song for your wedding.
Hold this goodie off until the reception, as the tempo is a bit too fast-paced for a bridal procession or first dance (you know, unless you wanna skip down the aisle).
“Catching Feelings”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Sun comes up on another morning/My mind never wakes up without you on it/And it’s crazy to me, I even see you in my dreams.”
Sure, ‘Catching Feelings” would make a great wedding song; but let’s back up a little bit. The lyrics tell a sweet story of all-encompassing love, making it the perfect soundtrack for a super sweet proposal!
Of course, you can also double back around to it during your actual wedding as well.
“Favorite Girl”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“I always knew you were the best/The coolest girl I know/So prettier than all the rest/The star of my show.”
Life can sometimes feel like a never-ending competition, where you don’t always come out on top. However, true love is an overwhelming experience where you’ll always feel like you come in first place — at least in the eyes of your love!
“Favorite Girl,’ Justin Bieber’s 2009 hit, expresses this beautifully.
“That’s What Love Is”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“I reach out to you, but my hands can’t hold enough/Enough of your greatness/You teach me patience /Like the best of our worlds collide/Never understood what it meant to submit to love.”
Perfect for a first dance or walk down the aisle, “Just What Love Is” perfectly encapsulates the subtle and profound ways love can change us.
With the right person, it can make us a little better, a little strong, a little softer — as long we allow it to!
“Die in Your Arms”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Basically I’m saying here/I can’t live without my baby.”
Living without the one you love is the last thing you want to think about on your wedding day. However, there is that whole “’til death do us part’ section of the vows.
Consider “Die in Your Arms” a loving, thoughtful tribute to the fact that life won’t be the same without you (or vice versa).
“Nothing Like Us”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Cause nothing can ever/Ever replace you/Nothing can make me feel like you do, yeah/You know there’s no one I can relate to/And know we won’t find a love that’s so true.”
Technically, “Nothing Like Us” is a song reminiscing on a breakup, but hey, no relationship is perfect.
This could be a great song for a couple who has weathered storms together but ultimately decided that they were better together than apart.
Gotta love the sentiment!
“Holy”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“Runnin’ to the altar like a track star/Can’t wait another second/’Cause the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me feels so holy.”
Even if you’re not religiously inclined, love can feel like a spiritual experience “Holy” by Justin Bieber, which features Chance The Rapper, perfectly covers this sentiment.
Plus, this song is versatile! The sweet lyrics make it a great choice for a first dance or bridal procession. However, the song’s mid-tempo can be played during the wedding reception without bringing down the atmosphere too much.
“First Dance”
Lyrics you’ll love:
“This could be the night of your dreams/Only if you give, give the first dance to me/Girl I promise I’ll be gentle/I know we gotta do it slowly/If you give, give the first dance to me/I’m gonna’ cherish every moment/’Cuz it only happens once, once in a lifetime.”
Yes, “First Dance” is a teenage love song about convincing a girl to go to prom. But it’s so utterly romantic that we had to include it in this list!
Anyone who’s been in a long-term relationship knows that each stage brings about new emotions and milestones. The stable, enduring years don’t necessarily feel like the anxious, puppy love stage. However, it’s all important!
Call back to those early days of your courtship by adding “First Dance” to your wedding playlist. And if you’re not a person who has to have things “on the nose,” then you can even play this sweet gem during your first dance as spouses!
