Justin Bieber’s latest music release may be more than just a love song—it could actually save lives. His new track Go Baby, a heartfelt tribute to his wife Hailey Bieber, has officially received recognition from the American Heart Association (AHA) for having the ideal beat for performing hands-only CPR.
On Monday (July 28), the AHA shared the news in an Instagram post, writing, “Bieber is back! And this new song could help you save a life with hands-only CPR.” The post reminded people that if they see a teen or adult suddenly collapse, they should follow two critical steps: call 911 immediately and then “push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of @lilbieber’s ‘GO BABY.’”
The track, paced at 120 beats per minute, fits perfectly within the recommended tempo range of 100–120 BPM for CPR chest compressions. This places Bieber’s song alongside other lifesaving classics such as the Bee Gees’ Stayin’ Alive (103 BPM), ABBA’s Dancing Queen (101 BPM), Lady Gaga’s Just Dance (119 BPM), and Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie (100 BPM).
Beyond its practical use in emergencies, Go Baby is also a romantic anthem. Co-written by Bieber with Tobias Jesso Jr., Carter Lang, Eddie Benjamin, and several collaborators, the song celebrates his love for Hailey. In the lyrics, Bieber sings,
“That’s my baby, she’s iconic / iPhone case, lip gloss on it / And, oh my days, she keeps ‘em talkin’ / It’s comedy, just block it out, my baby / When sunlight turns to shadows, and it gets hard to face / Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain.”
With its perfect blend of heartfelt emotion and life-saving potential, Stayin’ Alive: Justin Bieber’s Track ‘Go Baby’ Has the Perfect Tempo for Performing CPR proves that music can truly touch hearts—in more ways than one.
