"Bigger" is the second single from the Backstreet Boys seventh studio album, This Is Us. The song was co-written and produced by collaborator and producer Max Martin. The band stated that the song was one of their best hits since I Want It That Way, a song written produced by Martin for the band in 1998.
"Bigger" was written by Max Martin, Johan Schuster and Tiffany Amber, while produced by Martin and Shellback. It was recorded by Al Clay at Conway Studios in Los Angeles, California, and by Martin and Shellback at Maratone Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. It was mixed at Mixstar Studios by Serban Ghenea. Audio engineering was done by John Hanes, while assisted by Tim Roberts. Shellback played the guitar, bass guitar and drums, and Martin played the keyboards. When asked about the track, A.J. McLean said:
"We met with him while we were touring the last record just to see if he was even interested. Obviously he's busy with Pink and Kelly Clarkson and people like that. He sent us a track called 'Bigger' and we loved it - it's like the new 'I Want It That Way'. He's one of the reasons why we've had the hits that we've had."
Justin Drew Bieber ( /ˈbiːbər/ BEE-bər, born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian Pop/R&B singer-songwriter, musician, and actor. Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who came across Bieber's videos on YouTube and later became his manager. Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid. Bieber's debut single, "One Time", was released in 2009 and peaked in the top twenty in Canada and charted in the top thirty in several international markets. His debut album, the seven-track EP My World, followed in November 2009, and was soon certified platinum in the United States. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Rick Murphy: Did I ever tell ya' about the law of averages? The law of averages is... at any given moment there's some horrible shit happening to someone in the world, right now. At the same time, there's some really great shit happening to someone else. The law of averages is... most guys are like you and me... nothing really great ever happens to us, but the good thing is nothing really horrible happens either.
Rick Murphy: Can I ask you a question? I mean, I'm all for old fella's in the workforce, but couldn't you do Home Depot or shoppin' carts or somethin'? Repoin' cars might be a bit of a stretch at your age.::The Colonel: Let me tell you something. When I was a young fella', like yourself, I'd spend all my time dreamin' about the future... and then one day you stop... and you just dream about the past... I used to be good at this repoin' stuff... I think I can get 'er back.

other rappers ignoring me, now on my list
'cause i've been keeping track of the dust left on my kicks
ugh, and ya'll are bound to see
i'm out to be much bigger than all those surrounding me
while you're dreaming of stars, i reach for galaxies
if you're doubting me, keep on, i'm bound to be
chorus:
ii wanna be bigger, bigger than the fame,
bigger than the lights, bigger than the money
out on the stage

bigger than the sky, bigger than the clouds,
we never coming down

i'mma be the biggest thing shining, so pull your watch out
forget a platinum record, i'm bigger than first or second
i'm larger than premadonna's, all you snakes and anaconda's
not finished with my sentence, no period, put a comma
this thing is running on, my message just getting longer
there's a sauna burning up, with this world against me
The big hollywood movie
You don't mean nothing to me
Big grand gesture

[Verse 1]
These planes can't keep flying if we rent the sky
'Cause we're bigger, bigger
Our time can't keep passing, forever we're lasting
We're bigger, so bigger
[Pre-Chorus]
Bigger than the sky and everything in it
Bigger than the deepest ocean we swim in
Bigger, we're all bigger
Bigger than the bridge we're crossing in London
Bigger than the longest races we're running
Bigger, we're all bigger
[Hook]
Bigger than love
Bigger than love
[Verse 2]
These waves can't keep crashing, we're looking right pass them
We're bigger, yeah, so bigger, yeah
Earthquakes keep shaking but we're never breaking
We're bigger, yeah, we're so much bigger
[Pre-Chorus]
Bigger than the sky and everything in it
Bigger than the deepest ocean we swim in
Bigger, we're all bigger
Bigger than the bridge we're crossing in London
Bigger than the longest races we're running
Bigger, we're all bigger
[Hook]
Bigger than love
Bigger than love
[Bridge]
The music could stop but we keep on dancing
If we ever drop from the sky we're landing
Bigger, bigger
The world could end but we won't stop living
The sun could black out but we'll never back out
Bigger, we're bigger
[Hook - Outro]
Bigger than love
Bigger than love
We're bigger than love
First off, I can't keep a promise, I'm no one to count on at all
Add on that I'm a coward, too scared to return your call
But you don't care, you keep sticking around
While I'm acting a clown, you're bigger
'Cause you're still here, your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds you're bigger than me
It's known that I'm a liar often they're blacker than white
Add on my unkinded ego, no one's less humble than I
But you don't care, you keep sticking around
While I'm acting a clown, you're bigger than me
'Cause you're still here, your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds you're bigger than me
All the messed up things I do, yeah, I swear I'll make 'em up to you
Before you go and have enough just let me make it better
I'll try and measure up, I'll try and measure up to you, oh yeah
I'll make 'em up to you, oh yeah
'Cause you don't care, you keep sticking around
While I'm acting a clown, you're bigger than me
'Cause you're still here, your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds you're bigger than me
Mafia
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
The love the love is
Bigger
Gotta believe in me (gotta believe in me)
Believe it like a fairy-tale
put a tooth under your pillowcase
No I won't, I won't
Ever ever let you down (No)
Like a Seasaw lets you down (oh)
You know why
Cuz we ain't on the playground no more baby
We're big enough
stand in the picture
We're big enough
stand next to love
I was a player
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they're so small from up here
Cuz we're bigger,
and love's bigger
I'm bigger and you're bigger.
Whoa oh
remember when my heart was young
It was still bigger than me (bigger than me)
Is that the reason that you stayed
Most would've got rid of me
Now the bullies in the school yard
Can't take our hugs and our kisses from us (No!)
Because we ain't push-overs no more, baby
We're big enough
stand in the picture
We're big enough
stand next to love
I was a player
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they're so small from up here
Cuz we're bigger,
and love's bigger,
I'm bigger and you're bigger
I was a player
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they look so small from up here
Cuz we're bigger,
and love's bigger,
I'm bigger and you're bigger
(Remember those stroll down street) I remember that
(Don't knock ya earrings) Like Yesterday
(They shine on me) They were little then
(In class I dreamed about you) My baby
You wow wow (You wow wow)
Since then all I can remember is the love only got Bigga
I was a player
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they're so small from up here
Cuz we're biger,
and love's bigger,
I'm bigger and you're bigger
I was a player
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
A heart-breaker
when I was little
but I'm bigger
I'm bigger
And all the haters
I swear they're so small from up here
Cuz we're bigger,
and love's bigger,
I try to put You in my little box
But You keep busting hinges and You keep picking locks
And I see a bigger picture, how small I really am
Naked I come to the world, naked I'll go out again
What's a man to do
when he comes face to face with the divine
When every part of me
wants to run away and hide
But You keep getting bigger, and I do believe
That even with eternity, I still could not see
Just how big You are and just how far
You reach for me
You are bigger than me
You're bigger than me, Lord
I found it quite amazing, somewhat amusing too
The way some of us try
and put our fences around You
But I'm grateful for Your mercy
and for Your patient grace
And to think that You invite me Lord
to look upon Your face
What's a man to do when he comes face to face with the
divine
When every part of me wants to run away and hide
(Chorus)
"Very good...you give me so much at one time"
"Yes I do"
"I may have bigger for him"
"Bigger? My, my"
"Very good...you give me so much at one time"
"Yes I do"
"I may have bigger for him"
"Bigger? My, my"
"Very good...you give me so much at one time"
"Yes I do"
"I may have bigger for him"
"Bigger? My, my"
Woah nelly
Woah ha
I know we fail, i know we fall,
Everyone has been there.
Our shattered hearts against the wall,
Everyone has felt this.
But do we stumble for a cause greater than our bodies?
'Cause broken hearts can be restored today.
But I will not be afraid of tomorrow.
My God is bigger!
My God is bigger than!
My God is bigger!
My God is bigger than this world.
This world.
Oh mercy bring us to our knees,
We belong here for we must fight beyond our needs today.
But I will not be afriad of tomorrow.
'Cause i know that He will be there when i will fall.
My God is bigger!
My God is bigger than!
My God is bigger!
My God is bigger than this world.
This world.
I will not be moved by motion.
And I will stand and show my devotion.
Cause I will not be mvoed by motion.
And i will stand and show my devotion.
My God is bigger...
My God is bigger than...
My God is bigger!
My God is bigger than!
My God is bigger!
My God is bigger than!
My God is bigger!
