If I told you that Soulja Boy and Justin Bieber had teamed up for a song I bet the following would happen: First, your head would explode. Then, after months of rehabilitation and therapy, you'd think, 'Man, this Soulja-Bieber collabo is likely swagtastic."
Right? I mean Soulja Boy hops up out his bed, and turns his swag on. That's like his every day. And Bieber! Bieber had an actual swagger coach. So there's a lot of swagger going on here, right?
Wrong! Oh, it's got a dope beat that struts a little. But with the kinda emo keyboard melody and Bieber's sad-boy chorus, this song has more in common with Owl City than it does "Turn My Swag On."
Which is just fine, really. The song is pretty delightful and shows off Bieber's undeniable charm (he can make a verse about who is going to pay the bill on a date sound great). It's just that Bieber sounds so ... bummed.
Check out the track below.
