Full Lyrics of "Ghost" by Justin Bieber

The Real Meaning Behind Justin Bieber's 'Ghost'

Fans of Justin Bieber will be well aware of the fact that on March 19, 2021, he released his sixth album, Justice. Featuring 17 new tunes for eager listeners to devour, each song — including future hits like "Unstable" and "Die for You" — gives us another glimpse into the star's world and experiences as well as his heart and mind. That's why so many people are surely intrigued by "Ghost," which seems to tell us a lot about the singer's take on a certain sad situation.

"Youngblood thinks there's always tomorrow / I miss your touch some nights when I'm hollow / I know you cross the bridge that I can't follow," Bieber sings in the first verse, per Genius, setting the song off on a heart-wrenching tone. He then continues by saying that "since the love that you left is all that I get," he wants the person that he's addressing "to know that / If I can't be close to you / I'll settle for the ghost of you / I miss you more than life / And if you can't be next to me / Your memory is ecstasy..."

Are you crying yet? At least sniffling? And you're probably wondering what (and who) Bieber is actually singing about. Well, it turns out that he took the time to explain the meaning behind the song himself, according to nickiswift.
