Hi, I'm Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show. Today we're studying the song that is the most viewed video ever on YouTube: Baby by Justin Bieber. It's been watched more than 250 million times. This song's about a guy who is upset because his girlfriend has broken up with him. For you, I would have done whatever And I just can't believe, we ain't together Before the chorus it goes: My first love broke my heart for the first time And I was like baby, baby, baby Like is an interesting slang word, it has many functions.It can be a filler word, similar to um. For example: Justin Bieber is, like, such a great artist. If he, like, came to New Zealand I'd so go to his concert. Even if, like, I had to, like, queue overnight or for, like, days I'd totally do it because, like, it'd so be worth it. But the way he is using it in the song, I think, is for a reported speech, it means said . For example, instead of saying: He said, “I love you” and she said, “Really?” You can say: He was like, “I love you” and she was like, “Really?” So, in the song, when he sings: My first love broke my heart for the first time, And I was like baby, baby, baby It means: And I said baby, baby, baby.
