"Sorry" is a song recorded by Canadian singer Justin Bieber for his fourth studio album Purpose (2015). Written by Julia Michaels, Justin Tranter and Bieber; the song was released on October 23, 2015, as the second single from the album.[1]
"Sorry" was well received by music critics and was a commercial success. The song spent 7 weeks at number one on the Canadian Hot 100 and 3 weeks at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Sorry" was replaced by third single "Love Yourself" on the chart dated February 13, 2016, making Bieber only the 12th act in the Hot 100's history to succeed himself at number one.[2] He also accomplished the same feat in the United Kingdom, becoming the third act ever to self-replace at the top of the UK Singles Chart.[3]
Release and composition
On October 18, 2015, Bieber announced the release of "Sorry" produced by Skrillex and BloodPop. On October 19, "Sorry" was promoted through a Vine video that played the song in the background and featured King Bach and Michelle Obama.[4] On October 21, 2015, Bieber posted an acoustic 13-second sample of the song.[5]
"Sorry" is a dancehall[6] and tropical house song.[7] It contains a "smooth but electrifying EDM beat, incorporating horns" and a dembow riddim beat.[8][9] Gracie Bianca of Idolator drew parallels between "Sorry" and previous single "What Do You Mean?" for sharing "a similar tropical pop route" and found there were "a few more spritz of sweet, beachy and dancehall-inspired notes".[10] Lyrically, the song is a plea "for a chance to apologize to an unidentified lover".[11]
On November 6, 2015, the remix of "Sorry" with J Balvin was released.[12]
Critical reception
"Sorry" received positive reviews from most music critics. Jezebel's Bobby Finger stated that Bieber released the three best singles of 2015: "Where Are Ü Now", "What Do You Mean?" and "Sorry". He described the song as "the cold fusion of pop songs, a track that will keep its listeners moving in sonic ecstasy long after the sun goes cold."[13] Consequence of Sound applauded the collaboration with Skrillex and BloodPop, saying "the results are beyond promising. It’s a chill number marked by warm island rhythms."[14] Brennan Carley of Spin wrote that the song "starts with a tropical drum-n-bass situation before exploding into a glorious, neatly wound chorus."[15] USA Today's Maeve McDermott wrote: "'Sorry' is just as much of an earworm as his previous single 'What Do You Mean?', with the same summery neon-hued electronic production."[16] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times called it "airy tropical-house banger that makes the singer's first big hit, the puppyish 'Baby', seem like an artifact from a different era (which it pretty much is)."[7]Time's Nolan Feeney also appreciated the song saying: "With a beat this breezy, though, that’s nothing to be sorry about."[17] Dee Lockett of Vulture.com wrote: "it's a Caribbean-flavored house beat over which Bieber flexes his best falsetto."[18]
Billboard ranked "Sorry" at number 9 on its year-end list for 2015: "Justin Bieber should try apologizing more often. From the bright opening notes to the manipulated vocal loop in the chorus, the Biebs brought EDM to his pop palette and made fans out of haters with an unforgivably good single."[19]
Commercial performance
In the United States, "Sorry" debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 on the issue dated November 14, 2015 with 277,000 downloads sold and 23.1 million US streams in its first week, becoming Bieber's second consecutive top-10 debut (after "What Do You Mean?" which debuted at number one) and his eighth top-10 Billboard single overall. The song was blocked from the top by Adele's "Hello", which debuted at number one with 1.11 million downloads sold its first week on sale. With having debuted at number one and number two with prior single '"What Do You Mean?" and "Sorry", respectively, Bieber's Purpose became only the fourth album in Billboard's history to have yielded multiple songs that entered the Hot 100 in the top-two positions (the others were Mariah Carey's Daydream in 1995–96, Butterfly in 1997–98, and Eminem's Recovery in 2010). Additionally, with "Sorry" at number two and "What Do You Mean" at number five, Justin Bieber became the 20th solo male artist to have two songs inside the top five.[20]
The following week, the song sold 129,000 downloads, descending to number four on the Hot 100. However, it moved from 37 to 27 on the Radio Songs chart, with 46 million all-format audience impressions.[21] In its fourth week, after the release of Purpose, the song ascended again to number two on the Hot 100, selling 82,000 copies. That week, Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" and "Love Yourself" (a track from Purpose with a promotional video, which debuted on the chart after selling 140,000 downloads) were at number five and four on the Hot 100, respectively, which made the singer be only the third artist to have three singles inside the chart's top five (the others being The Beatles in 1964 and 50 Cent in 2005). Additionally, the same week, Bieber had 17 songs on the Hot 100 simultaneously, breaking the record previously held by The Beatles and Drake.[22]
For the chart dated 12 December 2015, after Bieber's performance on the American Music Awards, "Sorry" ascended from two to one on Digital Songs, selling 178,000 downloads and becoming Bieber's third chart-topper on thar chart, after 2012's "Boyfriend" and prior single "What Do You Mean?".[23] For the chart dated January 2, 2016, the song became Bieber's first number-one single on the Streaming Songs chart, ascending from 2 to 1. That week, it also became his second number-one song on the Mainstream Top 40 chart.[24] After eight non-consecutive weeks (seven consecutively) at number two, on the week charting 23 January 2016, "Sorry" dethroned Adele's "Hello" and became Bieber's second number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, after selling 128,000 downloads and earning 145 million audience impressions.[25] On the chart dated 6 February 2016, 'Sorry' stayed at the top of the Hot 100 for a third consecutive week, giving Bieber his longest number one on the chart. That week, Bieber's 'Love Yourself' ascended from 3 to 2, which made the singer be the 17th act in the Hot 100's history to rank at Nos. 1 and 2 simultaneously. He was just the 11th act to hold the Hot 100's top two as a lead artist on both songs.[26] The following week, 'Sorry' became Bieber's first number-one song on the Radio Songs chart after earning 141 million audience impressions, however, it was beaten to the top on the Hot 100 by "Love Yourself". With that, Bieber became the 12th artist in the Hot 100's 57-year history to succeed himself at number one.[27] On the issue dated 2 April 2016, "Sorry" spent its 21st week in the Hot 100's top ten, matching the mark for the most consecutive weeks logged in the Hot 100's top 10 from a song's debut. Impressively, Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" had already tied the record.[28] The record was surpassed later by Bieber's own "Love Yourself", which spent 23 consecutive weeks in the top ten since its debut.[29] As of February 2016, "Sorry" has sold 2 million copies in the U.S.[30]
In the United Kingdom, the song entered at number two on the UK Singles Chart, once again behind Adele's "Hello", which debuted at number one on October 30, 2015.[31] However, it climbed a place to the top of the UK Singles Chart on 20 November 2015, with 104,000 combined chart sales and 5.35 million streams, becoming Bieber's second chart-topping song in Britain. That week, Bieber had three songs inside the Official Singles Chart's top five, including "Sorry" (1), "Love Yourself" (3) and "What Do You Mean?" (5). No other male artist had achieved that in 34 years, since John Lennon did in January, 1981. In addition, the singer had eight songs inside the chart's top 40, the first time ever that a living act achieved this many entries simultaneously in the Official Singles Chart top 40 (the closest was Elvis Presley who managed a maximum of seven entries in 1957).[32] The following week, 'Sorry' remained at number one, meanwhile 'Love Yourself' reached the number two position, making Bieber be the first act to dominate the two spots of the Official Singles Chart in 30 years, since Madonna did in 1985.[33] The next week, 'Sorry' was beaten to the top by Bieber's 'Love Yourself', earning 5.5 and 5.97 million streams, respectively. With that, Bieber became the first act to replace themselves on the chart since Elvis Presley did in 2005. Also, he was the first living act to do so since The Beatles did in December 1963.[34] "Sorry" and "Love Yourself" remained at the same place for two more consecutive weeks, making Bieber the first artist ever to log four weeks at numbers 1 and 2 consecutively, breaking the record previously held by The Beatles, who logged three consecutive weeks at numbers 1 and 2 in 1967–68.[35] 'Sorry' was the tenth best-selling song in the UK with combined sales of 934,000 copies.[36] In Australia, "Sorry" entered at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart, becoming Bieber's third top-ten hit in 2015 and his fourth overall.[37]
Music video
Purpose: The Movement version
A dance video for "Sorry" was released on October 22, 2015.[1] The video, which features the New Zealand dancers of ReQuest Dance Crew and The Royal Family dance crew, was directed and choreographed by New Zealander Parris Goebel.[38] The video was initially intended to be a lyrics video and was eventually kept as a dance video. Describing it as "colorful, fun, and upbeat", Goebel said: "[We wanted to] just bring more life to it. We were going for a vintage '90s vibe. Me and two of my friends pretty much styled everyone. We all did our own makeup and were spontaneous… Most of it was my wardrobe, actually. We just kind of put together what we had."[39] As of April 27, 2016, the music video has received over 1.30 billion views on YouTube, making it the 15th most viewed video on the site, the 22nd to reach 1 billion, the second fastest to reach 1 billion (behind Adele's Hello) and the fastest amount of time for a male to reach 1 billion views.[40]
