  • Justin Bieber and Travis Scott collaborated on Justin’s new Changes album.

  • Their song “Second Emotion” is about Hailey Baldwin and Kylie Jenner.

  • Travis and Kylie are currently broken up but are said to possibly reconcile soon.


Yeah, today is Valentine’s Day, but you know what else it is? JUSTIN BIEBER CHANGES ALBUM RELEASE DAY! To celebrate this momentous occasion, let’s stream Changes all day long and delve deep into the lyrics, shall we?

It’s already been established that the whole album is a testament to Justin’s faith and his relationship with Hailey Baldwin, but we absolutely must discuss his collab with Travis Scott. The 10th track on the album is called “Second Emotion,” and after the first line, you can immediately tell they’re talking about their respective love lives with Hailey and Kylie Jenner.

The song starts out with Justin singing about how Hailey turns his head so much that it gives him whiplash and he’d rather spend time with her than tend to his original plans. Then he asks, “You really got me open (do you?) / Do you second that emotion? (Do you?),” trying to see if she feels the same way about him. Judging by the fact that they had their wedding ceremony in September, the answer is a definite yes on her end.

Also, like fans speculated in the “All Around Me” record, there may be another baby reference in here when Justin sings, “Would you mind the labor? Baby.” Much to think about.

When Travis jumps in, he praises Kylie’s stacked bank account and raps about all her luxury items. Like, there’s no way “Oh, you sent the jet out for me? You tryna ball harder than me?” is not about her. Yes, Kylie and Travis are taking a break right now, but they share their daughter, Stormi, and will allegedly get back together any day now because it’s “inevitable.”

Seriously, this song is filled with Hailey and Kylie references and the two artists opening up about their relationships. Check out the full lyrics for obsessive interpreting:

Chorus (Justin Bieber)
Try to bite my tongue, but I can’t take it
I got whiplash from me turnin’ my head
Have somewhere else to go, no, I can’t make it
I’d rather take my chance with you instead
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)
You really got me open (do you?)
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)

Verse 1 (Justin Bieber)
High heels on, heard you comin’ ’fore I seent ya
Movies all around, but you look like the feature
Had another meeting, now my plan is to meet you
Got my hands out, all I wanna do is reach ya
All I wanna do is greet ya
Infatuated, sorry if I stare
Where you posted up? I wanna be there
Way you curved up, it just ain’t fair
No, it ain’t

Chorus (Justin Bieber)
Try to bite my tongue, but I can’t take it
I got whiplash from me turnin’ my head
Have somewhere else to go, no, I can’t make it
I’d rather take my chance with you instead
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)
You really got me open (do you?)
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)

Bridge (Justin Bieber and Travis Scott)
Got me feeling giddy (ah), like “la, la, la, la” (yeah)
Struck a match, you got me litty, like “la, la, la, la” (it’s lit)
You got the keys to my city (ooh), like “la, la, la, la” (straight up)
Do you second that emotion, baby? (Ah, yeah)

Verse 2 (Travis Scott)
Mmm, yeah
Out to big boys (it’s lit)
Spring her off the hitch (yeah), everything legit
Movin’ like the blitz (blitz), crib like the Ritz (like the Ritz)
So you know there’s room (skrrt)
So baby, please
(Hol’ up, nah, nah, nah, that was the first time she did that)
Don’t like to talk to bitch (yeah), just like to play the wish
I know the problem is they ’bout it, ’bout it, kid (I’m tryna pop another one in)
Oh, you sent the jet out for me?
You tryna ball harder than me?

Verse 3 (Justin Bieber)
Did I come ’cross your radar?
Cross your mind now and later?
Do you feel like you know me?
It’s just a part of nature
Let’s ask each other questions
Can we do each other favors?
Would you mind the labor? Baby

Chorus (Justin Bieber)
Try to bite my tongue, but I can’t take it (ooh-wee)
I got whiplash from me turnin’ my head (hey, hey, hey)
Have somewhere else to go, no, I can’t make it (ooh-wee)
I’d rather take my chance with you instead
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)
You really got me open (do you?)
Do you second that emotion? (Do you?)

Outro (Justin Bieber)
Got me feeling giddy, like “la, la, la, la”
Struck a match, you got me litty, like “la, la, la, la”
You got the keys to my city, like “la, la, la, la”
Do you second that emotion, baby?
