Justin Bieber’s “Ghost” (2021) is a pop ballad that found new resonance during the pandemic for its themes of loss and longing. Over an upbeat yet emotional production, Bieber sings to a loved one he misses, with lines that many interpreted as grieving those lost (“if I can’t be close to you, I’ll settle for the ghost of you”). “Ghost” reached the Top 5 on the Hot 100 and was one of Bieber’s most successful radio hits from his *Justice* era, providing comfort to fans in tough times.
