Beauty and a Beat is a 2012 dance-pop hit by Justin Bieber featuring Nicki Minaj, released as the third single from his album Believe. The track became one of the defining songs of the Believe era and a long-running favourite at Bieber's live shows.
More than a decade later, the song is enjoying a huge viral resurgence: in 2026 it climbed back up the charts and currently sits at #5 on the Billboard Global 200. If you discovered Bieber through his later collaboration Let Me Love You (DJ Snake x Justin Bieber), this 2012 classic is well worth revisiting.

Beauty and a Beat Lyrics
Show you off
Tonight I wanna show you off
Aye, aye, aye
What you've got
A billion could've never bought
Aye, aye, aye
We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight
I wanna show you all the finer things in life
So just forget about the world, we young tonight
I'm coming for ya, I'm coming for ya
'Cause all I need is a beauty and a beat
Who can make my life complete
It's all 'bout you when the music makes you move
Baby, do it like you do
'Cause all—
Body rock
Girl, I can feel your body rock
Aye, aye, aye
Take a bow
You're on the hottest ticket now, oh, oh, oh (Aye, aye, aye)
We gonna party like it's 3012 tonight
I wanna show you all the finer things in life
So just forget about the world, we young tonight
I'm coming for ya, I'm coming for ya
'Cause all I need is a beauty and a beat
Who can make my life complete
It's all 'bout you when the music makes you move
Baby, do it like you do
'Cause all—
In time, ink lines, bitches couldn't get on my incline
World tours, it's mine, ten little letters on a big sign
Justin Bieber, you know I'ma hit 'em with the ether
Buns out, wiener, but I gotta keep a eye out for Selener
Beauty, Beauty and the Beast
Beauty from the East, beautiful confessions to the priest
Beast, beauty from the streets, beat'll get deceased
Every time beauty on the beats, eats
Body rock (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go)
Oh, I wanna feel your body rock
'Cause all I need is a beauty and a beat (All I need is love)
Who can make my life complete
It's all 'bout you when the music makes you move (All I need is you)
Baby, do it like you do
'Cause all—
