[Intro: Justin Bieber]
Ba-ba-da, ba-da
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-da, ba

[Verse 1: Justin Bieber]
She's a stranger to the night shift
The type of girl you only dream about
I was lost under the lights, yeah (Yeah)
An angel in the flames, she pulled me out

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Next time that I g-g-g-g-get her
I'ma tell her in every kind of way (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
I would walk through burning fire
Even if your kiss could kill me
You know I would die for you
Yeah, I would die for you (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pain and passion, my desire
You're the right now and what will be
You know I would die for you
The rest of my life for you
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
(Ba-ba-da, ba-da)
I would die for you (Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da, ba-da, ba)
[Verse 2: Dominic Fike]
She's a danger to the mindset
Displaced and stretched it out in every way
Crossin' every line, yeah
T-T-Touch base until you find the chemistry
And I know this ain't rocket science
And I never leave the house
Without checkin' on you first
And begin to wonder

[Pre-Chorus: Dominic Fike, with Justin Bieber]
Next time that I g-g-g-g-get her
I'ma tell her in every kind of way (Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
I would walk through burning fire
Even if your kiss could kill me
You know I would die for you
Yeah, I would die for you (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pain and passion, my desire
You're the right now and what will be
You know I would die for you
The rest of my life for you
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

[Post-Chorus: Justin Bieber]
Oh, I would die, I would die, I would die
Oh, I would die, I would die, I would die
[Chorus: Justin Bieber]
I would walk through burning fire
Even if your kiss could kill me
You know I would die for you (I would die for you)
Yeah, I would die for you (I would die for you, baby)
Pain and passion, my desire
You're the right now and what will be
You know I would die for you
The rest of my life for you
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

[Outro: Justin Bieber]
Yeah-yeah
Yeah
I would die for you

What did Justin Bieber say about "Die For You"?
Genius Answer

Bieber hit me up with a studio day scheduled for me. I went with Diana. Somebody was like, ‘yo, by the way, Justin’s pulling up.’ Justin played me the album and I’m still so honored to be a part of that shit. Bieber is a real-ass athlete with music. I remember when I called him, it felt like I was calling LeBron James. He’s 100%. It’s his whole life. Personally, I’m trying to find a balance, but he helped me think about music more seriously and inspired me to put my mind into it more.
