Fans of Toy Story and warm, bubbling chocolate, Justin Bieber has an offer you won’t be able to refuse.
The pop sensation at midnight unleashed his new song, “Boyfriend,” which teams a smooth production and more hushed vocals to give the 18-year-old a track that one might play after prom night, not on the way to a local carnival. Produced by Mike Posner, the song is more or less a proposition, with Bieber outlining both solid small town date ideas and eternal promises.

There is the offer of “chillin’ by the fire why we eatin’ fondue,” but also the promise to “never let you go” and, most impressively — and speaking to his young generation of fans — the suggestion that he will “be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe.”
“When I was writing the raps for it and the verses I was basically thinking about things I would do if I was your boyfriend,” Bieber says in a behind-the-scenes video posted to his website.
The song has already shot up to number one on the iTunes singles chart, powered by his Sunday night countdown tweets; when there was a technical error on the site, making it hard to download the song, he even was able to capitalize on that, tweeting, “yo @itunesmusic im trying to romance 19 million ladies with my music. you are kinda screwing this up for me. LEGGO!”
Swag swag swag.
Listen to the song below, and scroll past that for the lyrics.
