Justin Bieber leaves fans speechless with his new music video and its gut-wrenching message, alongside Benny Blanco. The ‘Lonely’ singer curated this music video to showcase the life of a child star and its bitter realities.
The actor Jacob Tremblay played the younger version of Justin Bieber, who sits alone in a room backstage. The clip starts with a shot of Jacob alone and staring at his reflection in a huge dressing room, before being called to and slowly making his way to the stage. “I’m so lonely,” Jacob mouths, along with Bieber, as the camera pans out to reveal a single person sitting and watching. The video goes on to showcase the child star being lead to the stage when the venue ends up being completely empty.
The entire ballad focuses on this image and outlines the perceptions, criticisms, and even fears. All these emotions Bieber himself had gone through before he was able to create a name for himself.
The singer also touched upon the loneliness and expressed his utter isolation with the lyrics. “What if you had it all, but nobody to call? Maybe then you’d know me/’Cause I’ve had everything, but no one’s listening/And that’s just fucking lonely/I’m so lonely.”
