Justin Bieber’s fourth studio album, Purpose from 2015, launched the single Love Yourself. It was released first as a promotional single and later was released as the album’s third single. It was written by Ed Sheeran, Benny Blanco (a/k/a Benjamin Levin) and Bieber. Today we’ll learn an easy version of the Love Yourself chords.
Bieber’s music is pop-based although he also adds elements of R&B. He has cited The Beatles, Boyz II Men, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, and Usher as his musical influences.
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind that will help you learn the tunes faster while giving you some ideas for how to approach performing it. I provided some useful links above and I’ll take you through the Love Yourself chords, accompaniment patterns, song form and a chord chart. Everything you need to get started playing this tune.
Pre Chorus And Chorus Justin Bieber Love Yourself
Love Yourself is a pop song that features an electric guitar and a brief flurry of trumpets as its main instrumentation. This is gonna force us to make some decisions as to how to approach this for an acoustic guitar.
The Love Yourself chords are all in the first position and shouldn’t create too much of a problem. The song is in the key of E but we’ll be using a capo at the 4th fret and thinking in the key of C. If we were to play in E, which is a guitar key, it would simply sound too dark.
We’re also gonna approach this from a finger-plucking and finger-strumming standpoint. I feel that using a pick would take away from the atmosphere that we’re trying to create. However, I do encourage you to approach the song however you see fit. These are just my suggestions.
Teach Yourself To Play Guitar: A Quick... By Brewster, David M
I’ve broken down my approach to this tune into three basic techniques that follow the song form. I use a fingerstyle technique that I’ll describe below. But, the basic idea is that my thumb plays the bass note (as the left hand of the piano would) and my index, middle, and ring fingers pluck or brush the top part of the chord (as the right hand of the piano would).
As I mentioned earlier, I find that using a pick to strum the Love Yourself chords can be a little too harsh sounding for the mood of this tune. For that reason, I suggest using your fingers to pluck and strum the chords. Let’s begin by assigning the right-hand fingers to certain strings:
This is the essence of fingerstyle playing, assigning fingers to specific strings. This way, you don’t need to look at the right hand while playing. Once you get used to it, you can “feel” where you are. I suggest using the finger-plucking technique for the verse and pre-chorus and the finger-strumming technique for the chorus. I explain this in more detail in the video.

If you don’t read music, please don’t be intimidated. This is a cheat sheet that can help you get through the tune quickly and easily. I find it indispensable for learning songs and I can also hand it to a seasoned musician and they can follow along without any problems.
Once you become familiar with chord charts, you’ll never want to go back. It’s just easier to see where you’re going when you have a map. And, it’s especially helpful when you’re not familiar with the song or there’s a section of the song that you don’t remember (Bridges and Interludes are notorious for surprising players and derailing a song’s performance). Fortunately for us, this tune doesn’t have either.
I hope that you’ve enjoyed learning Love Yourself and if you haven’t checked out any Beatles, Boys II Men or Mariah Carey then I encourage you to do so. It’s nice to see where today’s artists get their inspiration from and you may discover a new world of music that may motivate you to explore a new direction.
