Overview

"Deja Vu" is a song by American rapper and singer Post Malone featuring Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was released through Republic Records as the fourth single from the former's debut studio album Stoney on September 9, 2016. The first collaboration between the two artists, they wrote the song alongside Matthew Tavares, Kaan Güneşberk, FKi 1st, Louis Bell, Carl Rosen, Julkeyz, & producers Frank Dukes and Vinylz. Background Before collaborating, Malone opened for Bieber on the Purpose World Tour, to support Bieber's fourth studio album, Purpose (2015), which led to the two artists developing a friendship. Malone was halfway through recording Stoney producer Frank Dukes played him an unfinished instrumental that he had come up with. In January 2016, Bieber visited Malone in the studio, in which he heard the beat and wanted to get on the song. Bieber immediately took to the beat and ended up recording his vocals, what would become the finished version of "Deja Vu" in the booth, with him and Malone going back and forth with ideas. After Bieber finished, Malone put the song together with the help of Bell and the others who were involved. Bell referred to the session as a high-pressure situation that "kept [him] on [his] toes" while he engineered and recorded the track. "Deja Vu" leaked online a day before its official release. Composition and lyrics "Deja Vu" is a laid-back pop song with a deep R&B groove involving "wistful, detuned guitar riffs". It opens with a church organ that backs the track. Several critics made comparisons to Drake's "Hotline Bling" in regards to the song's sound. In particular, The Faders David Renshaw said it "has an almost 'Hotline Bling'-esque tempo", while Madeline Roth of MTV News, Danny Schwartz of HotNewHipHop, and Billboards Colin Stutz noted similarities between the two with the song's start. In a different comparison, Dana Getz of Entertainment Weekly wrote that it "features a slow fizz, cha-cha inflected beat akin to a drowsier take on Drake's 'One Dance. "Deja Vu" is about an on-and-off-again love where "Malone helms sluggish, lovesick verses". An echoed coo accompanies Malone and Bieber as they sing the hook, with the latter repeating before delivering his verse: "Tell me is that deja vu? / 'Cause you want me and I want you."

Notable quotes

“We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time — of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances — of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remembered it!”
— Charles Dickens, David Copperfield (1850), Ch. 39
“Often on the highway, weary and wary, we spurn the unknown and cheerfully drive on for the promise of a Howard Johnson's and its familiar déjà vu.”
— Gael Greene, "Indigestion on the turnpike", Life, Vol. 69, No. 9, 28 August 1970, p. 12
“The essential of the déjà vu is rather the negation of the present than the affirmation of the past.”
— Pierre Janet, as quoted in Elton Mayo, Some Notes on the Psychology of Pierre Janet (1948)
“We wallow in nostalgia but manage to get it all wrong. True nostalgia is an ephemeral composition of disjointed memories … but American-style nostalgia is about as ephemeral as copyrighted déjà vu.”
— Florence King, "Déjà Views", in Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye (1989), p. 112
“When some French were assembling an encyclopedia of paranormal experiences, they decided to leave déjà vu out, because it was so common it could not be considered paranormal.”
— Kim Stanley Robinson, Galileo's Dream (2009), Ch. 13, p. 284
“They [ Romantics ] all seem to have experienced paramnesia, the sensation of déjà vu, the total recollection which does not appear to be recollected; they all aimed at least at the total exclusion of the past from the present by a perfect absorption in the present, as if time stood still and became eternity.”
— René Wellek, "Romanticism Reconsidered", in Concepts of Criticism (1963), p. 212
