Justin Bieber's new track I'll Show You speaks about growing up in the spotlight.
The song deals with the troubled Canadian pop star's experience constantly being in the public eye since breaking onto the music scene in 2009.
It starts with the telling line: "my life is a movie, and everyone's watching".
It follows on with more revelations about having his every move scrutinised by the media.
"It's like they want me to be perfect, they don't even know that I'm hurting. This life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel."
