About this Song
Justin Bieber, a Canadian pop singer who first gained fame as a teenager through YouTube, released "What Do You Mean?" as part of his 2015 album *Purpose*. This song marked Bieber's first single to debut atop the Hot 100 chart. The acoustic version of "What Do You Mean?" features four repeated chords and a capo on the first fret, with production by MdL and co-production by Justin Bieber himself. Josh Gudwin handled the mixing and recording engineering for this acoustic rendition. Bieber, born in London, Ontario, on March 1, 1994, taught himself to play instruments like the piano, guitar, drums, and trumpet at a young age. His debut EP, *My World* (2009), was a multi-platinum success, and his debut studio album, *My World 2.0* (2010), made him the youngest solo male artist to top the Billboard 200 since Stevie Wonder. His 2012 album *Believe* showcased a shift towards a more mature sound, incorporating R&B and electronic dance music elements.
