Song You Need To Know: Justin Bieber, 'U Smile'

Twitter God and Ludacris mentor Justin Bieber is on a roll. I wish I could take him to a craps table and have him just stand next to me for luck. Except that would be illegal because he is 16. In any case, things are only going to get bigger and brighter for the Canadian heartthrob/pop sensation with his new release, My World 2.0, due out this time next week.

We've heard a few songs from My World 2.0 so far, including the shuffling R&B of "Never Let You Go" and the sugary pop of "Baby." Now we get a mid-tempo ballad in the form of "U Smile."

Justin's best songs always have one special ingredient: the juxtaposition of his innocent vocals with hard, hip-hop drums. Even on "U Smile," a piano-driven piece of pop, a solid rhythm still lies underneath.

"U Smile" holds a place close to Bieber's heart, as the young pop pinup recently tweeted, "I wrote it for all my fans who got me here. U took me from a small town in Canada to this amazing opportunity I am living now."

"U Smile" is currently available on iTunes. My World 2.0 is out March 23.
