Intentions (Justin Bieber song)

“**Intentions**” is a song by Justin Bieber featuring Quavo.

## Background

The Audibles made the beat on their friend Trent’s kitchen table in North Hollywood. The next day they pulled up to the studio to meet Poo and as soon as they played it, he started writing to it immediately. They knew it sounded like a big song and they were happy when Justin said he loved it. Quavo ended up getting on the record last minute, just weeks before the release.

## Lyrics

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]

Picture perfect, you don't need no filter

Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer

Shower you with all my attention

Yeah, these are my only intentions

Stay in the kitchen cookin' up, got your own bread

Heart full of equity, you're an asset

Make sure that you don't need no mentions

Yeah, these are my only intentions

[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]

Shout-out to your mom and dad for makin' you

Standin' ovation, they did a great job raisin' you

When I create, you're my muse

That kind of smile that makes the news

Can't nobody throw shade on your name in these streets

Triple threat, you're a boss, you a bae, you a beast

You make it easy to choose

You got a mean touch, I can't refuse (No, I can't refuse it)

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]

Picture perfect, you don't need no filter

Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer

Shower you with all my attention

Yeah, these are my only intentions

Stay in the kitchen cookin' up, got your own bread

Heart full of equity, you're an asset

Make sure that you don't need no mentions

Yeah, these are my only intentions

[Verse 2: Justin Bieber]

Already passed, you don't need no approval

Good everywhere, don't worry 'bout no refusal

Second to none, you got the upper hand now

Don't need a sponsor, nope, you're the brand now

You're my rock, my Colorado

Got that ring, just like Toronto

Lovin' you now, a little more tomorrow

That's how I feel, act like you know that you are

[Chorus: Justin Bieber & *Quavo*]

Picture perfect, you don't need no filter

Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer

Shower you with all my attention

Yeah, these are my only intentions

Stay in the kitchen cookin' up, got your own bread *(Whip it)*

Heart full of equity, you're an asset *(Asset)*

Make sure that you don't need no mentions *(Yeah, yeah)*

Yeah, these are my only intentions *(Quavo)*

[Verse 3: Quavo]

No cap, no pretendin'

You don't need mentions (No cap)

Got 'em same goals, they don't wanna be independent ('Pendent)

Tell them to mind your bidness (Woo), we in our feelings

It's fifty-fifty percentage (Fifty)

Attention, we need commitment (Oh)

We gotta both admit it (Both)

It's funny we both listen (Both)

It's a blessing (Blessing) 'cause we both get it (Both)

You the best thing (Woo) and I don't need a witness (Best thing)

I'ma find me a ring and pray it's perfect fitted (Perfect, perfect)

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]

Picture perfect, you don't need no filter (No filter)

Gorgeous, make 'em drop dead, you a killer (Oh-oh)

Shower you with all my attention (I will)

Yeah, these are my only intentions (Yeah)

Stay in the kitchen cookin' up, got your own bread (You do)

Heart full of equity, you're an asset (Uh-huh)

Make sure that you don't need no mentions (No mentions)

Yeah, these are my only intentions (Only intentions)

[Outro: Justin Bieber]

That's all I plan to do
