Come Around Me
2020 song by Justin Bieber
"Come Around Me" is a song by Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was released through Def Jam Recordings as the third track from his fifth studio album, Changes, on February 14, 2020. Released on Valentine's Day, Bieber wrote the song with producers Poo Bear and the Audibles (Dominic Jordan and Jimmy Giannos).
Background and composition
Producer duo the Audibles first created the instrumental to "Come Around Me" and American singer-songwriter and record producer Poo Bear wrote the song in about 15 to 20 minutes. Bieber later recorded his vocals and did the bridge. The song contains samples from producer Alex Lustigs song, "Synth Such Vibes…", a beat that was created on Slice. It also contains some lyrics that Bieber used on his unreleased song, "Stress", which he recorded in 2013. The instrumental of the song was first teased by being used in Bieber's promotional video for 2020, released on December 24, 2019.
Critical reception
Taylor Weatherby of Billboard ranked "Come Around Me" as the eleventh-best song on Changes, deeming it as "kind of like the older brother to 'Yummy'" and even though the two songs are "sonically pretty different, they're both more geared towards Justin's sex life than his love life", compromising that "even if the sex talk is a little too much for some, at least the undulating chorus is infectious". Insider's Courteney Larocca and Callie Ahlgrim also felt that "Come Around Me" was "pretty good" and praised the post-chorus for Bieber's falsetto and the line, "Let's get it in expeditiously" .

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q91005946. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020, 2013 and 2019.
Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
