@the.botb: 17 years of “Love Me” @justinbieber 💜 Released in 2009 ahead of his debut EP My World, the track put a playful pop spin on The Cardigans’ ’90s hit “Lovefool,” interpolating its instantly recognisable chorus. An early fan favourite, “Love Me” captured the sound of Bieber’s breakout era as he made the leap from YouTube discovery to global pop phenomenon.
