Love Yourself - Justin Bieber (AfterSound cover)

When this song first came out I couldn't figure out why I was drawn to it and found it so catchy. After a little digging, I learned it was co-written by Ed Sheeran! He's one of the most talented songwriters in the current music scene and I've enjoyed a lot of his music so it immediately made sense to me why I resonated with it the way I did.

This song is already acoustic with just a guitar and vocals, so doing an acoustic version with piano wasn't the main focus for why I wanted to cover the song. It is more the meaning behind it and the lyrics that spoke to me. If you've ever been in that kind of relationship you will know. Sometimes, you're so in love with someone that you are blind to the toxicity that they bring into the relationship and the negativity they bring into your life. It's only after you are out of it that you realize just how badly things had been affecting you.

I especially like the like 'my momma don't like you and she likes everyone'. It's just a phenomenal play on words that many can relate to. My mom is awesome and I've learned to trust her gut over the years whenever something seemed off. It's the little things like this in the lyrics and the way the melody is written that just hook you (shout out once again to Ed Sheeran!).

I hope you enjoy my version of it and thank you for listening!
