Yesterday, Bieber tweeted this message to his fans:
“You heard the news!! TOMORROW 8am EST the WORLD PREMIERE of #AsLongAsYouLoveMeVIDEO with @bigsean and MICHAEL MADSEN!”
Beliebers were excited for what was to come. However, this video was fairly surprising, mature and unexpected. There’s one thing that’s for certain: Justin Bieber is growing up.
The cinematography in this video is impressive and the music video has a dramatic yet cliché story line to it. Bieber plays a young boy who is hopelessly in love with a girl. However, her violent father doesn’t approve of their relationship. In the end, the girl’s father violently attacks Bieber, but we see that Bieber doesn’t back down and continues to fight back for his girlfriend.
With a choreographed dance in the middle of the video, it created an exciting exchange between the story, the song and the short film-like video. Anthony Mandler directed the video, Michael Madsen starred as the father and Big Sean popped up around the end. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out here!
