Pada tahun 2021 silam, untuk pertama kalinya penyanyi muda Justin Bieber mengeluarkan album pendek yang berisi 6 lagu yang bernuansa religius yang sarat dengan lirik-lirik yang mengungkapkan tentang iman dan kehidupan.
Bertepatan dengan perayaan Paskah, Bieber secara resmi meluncurkan album bertajuk ‘Freedom’ ini. We’re In This Together menjadi salah satu lagu yang cukup berbeda dari lagu-lagu Bieber sebelumnya. Pasalnya lagu ini diawali dan diakhiri dengan nuansa rap lalu dipadukan dengan ketukan pop dan R&B.
Lewat lagu ini, Bieber mengungkapkan kehidupan masa lalunya yang hancur. Menjadi seorang selebriti populer yang memiliki segalanya dan hidup dengan melakukan begitu banyak kesalahan. Dia mengakui jika ketenaran telah membuatnya kehilangan arah.

Jadi pria yang diidam-idamkan wanita, melakukan beragam pergaulan buruk dan bahkan pernah ditangkap karena kasus narkoba. Semuanya pengalaman ini diungkapkan Bieber secara jujur lewat lagu ini.
Namun kemudian, Bieber mengungkapkan jika banyak orang yang mungkin mengalami pengalaman yang sama sepertinya. Karena itulah dia mengungkapkan kalimat ‘We’re In This Together’. Untuk itu, dia menawarkan doa untuk menguatkan dan memberkati setiap orang yang sedang melalui masa-masa sulit dalam hidupnya.
Penyanyi berusia 28 tahun ini juga menawarkan harapan yang baru di dalam kebangkitan Yesus. Bahwa bukan tentang siapa dia di mata dunia, tetapi karena kasih Tuhan yang memberi dia kesempatan untuk tetap hidup hingga saat ini.
“God is still planninn’ Plannin’ peace, joy, plan another day. Gave His life on the cross to wash His sins away” (Tuhan masih tetap merencanakan. Merencanakan damai, sukacita dan merencanakan hari selanjutnya. (Dia) Memberi hidupNya di atas salib untuk menghapus dosa.),” demikian penggalan lirik lagu We’re In This Together.
Berikut lirik lagu selengkapnya:
Rap
Yeah, it's not easy growin' up
You know, mm
Only two years old I was playin' drums on the table
Guess I knew it was the only thing stable
When I was young, I could pick things up quick
Anything that I did, I was pretty good at it
Well, I started school, I was a troublemaker
Thought I knew everything in life, yeah, that caught up to me later
I had to learn about humility
I had to grow up and accept responsibility, yeah
That wasn't easy 'cause at 17 I had a milli'
Women throwin' themselves at me had me goin' silly
On the surface, I felt like the man
But deep inside I felt deprived just like an empty can
I've had everything in life that people strive for
Just to ask the question, "What are we alive for?"
What you believe? And what you agree with?
What would you die for?
Is there a reason? What is the meanin'? What do we cry for?
Chorus
One thing I know is that we're in this together, together, oh
One thing I know is that we're in this together, together, oh
We're in this together
Rap
I moved out when I was 18
I was livin' in a mansion doin' big things
FBI raided my house and shit was gettin' dicey
I was doin' stupid shit to get people to like me
All that to say, I'm thankful that's not who I am
And I'm thankful God was with me when shit hit the fan
'Cause He's the reason that I'm still standin'
And even in a pandemic, God is still plannin'
Plannin' peace, plannin' joy, plan another day
Gave His life up on the cross to wash His sins away
I've had everything in life that people strive for
Just to ask the question, "What are we alive for?"
What you believe? And what you agree with?
What would you die for?
Is there a reason? What is the meanin'? What do we cry for?
Back to Chorus
Rap
I pray for every single person listening to this song right now
I pray for peace, I pray for joy
I pray for confidence. I pray for reassurance
I thank you so much for the person listening to this right now
I pray that You would bless them
Bless their mind, bless their finances
Bless their family, bless their sons, bless their daughters
Bless their moms, bless their dads, bless their grandparents
God, I just pray for an overwhelming
Sense of Your presence in their home right now
An overwhelming sense of Your peace that
That says, "Everything is going to be all right"
In the name of Jesus
In the name of Jesus
