The Lyrics To Justin Bieber's "Yummy" Are A Love Letter to Hailey Bieber (2024)

• Justin Bieber promised new music in 2020, and he did just that with his first single, "Yummy," off of his new album, Changes.
• The lyrics to "Yummy" offer the listener an in-depth look into Bieber's relationship with his wife, Hailey.
• Curious about the meaning behind the song's blush-worthy lyrics? We've broken it down for you.

Five years after he released Purpose, Justin Bieber is back on the scene with new music. His most recent album, Changes, offers a more personal look into Bieber's current life, including his struggles with illness, depression, and his love for his wife, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin). Changes arrived with the premiere single, "Yummy," Bieber's first solo track in two-and-a-half years, and the song is, uh...well, let's just put it this way: Those two crazy kids are in love, and they're not afraid to let the world know it.

It should be no surprise that Bieber's new music is reflective of the shifts in his life, including his City Hall wedding to Hailey in September 2018. A source told E! ahead of Changes' release that the album's material would be reflective and personal. "There were a lot of dark times and the breakdown he went through," the source shared, adding, "He touches on his mental health struggles and how he got through it."

As a first single, "Yummy" proves that the couple has wasted no time getting to know each other...intimately, as man and wife. How else are lyrics like “Rollin’ eyes back in my head, make my toes curl, yeah, yeah,” explained? And the Biebs has never been shy about the fact that he wants to get to work making lots of babies with his wife, like, ASAP. He's even shared his baby fever on his Instagram:

But, uh, Hailey begs to differ—in a profile with Vogue last year, she shared that any future Bieber Babes are a long way away. “No babies for at least a couple of years,” Hailey said at the time.

"Yummy," lyrically, is rather repetitive—the chorus consists of "Yeah, you got that yummy-yum / That yummy-yum, that yummy-yummy," which... doesn't say much. But the lyrics itself are an ode to a young couple in love with expendable incomes and few cares in the world.

"Hop in the Lambo', I'm on my way / Drew House slippers on with a smile on my face," Bieber sings, referring to Drew House, his fashion brand that often makes an appearance on his Instagram feed. "I'm elated that you are my lady," he then croons sweetly. At some point, he may even be referring to their marriage and future with lyrics like "Fifty-fifty, love the way you split it / Hundred racks, help me spend it, babe," meaning "I'm giving you half of whatever's mine, let's go drop a quick $100k, no problem." Young (really, really rich) love, right?

"It ain't no stable, no, you stay on the run / Ain't on the side, you're number one," he sings, an allusion to Bieber of years past, who was on-and-off with both Hailey and Selena Gomez for some time.

The song also got two remix treatments—first with Summer Walker, and then a country remix featuring Florida Georgia Line. Sure, the lyrics verge on NSFW, and Hailey's dad Stephen Baldwin likely cringed the first time he heard it. But there's no doubting there's real love here.
