Review: My Worlds Acoustic Single - "Pray"

Song: "Pray" (Single)
From Album: My Worlds Acoustic
Release Date: December 3, 2010
About a week after Justin Bieber released his Wal-Mart exclusive My Worlds Acoustic album, he released his single from the album, "Pray." Pretty much all of the songs were acoustic variations of his previous songs, so it seemed obvious to have "Pray" be the single to promote.

I have to say, I'm extremely impressed that Justin and his team came up with this song and even chose to promote it because of the message contained within it.

Just listen to the lyrics. He's singing about those in this world that are less fortunate, and he's trying to send this positive message about doing what he can do to change things.

"It's in the papers, it's on the TV, it's everywhere that I go / children are crying, soldiers are dying, some people don't have a home"

"I lose my appetite knowing kids starve tonight / Am I a sinner, 'cause my dinner is still on my plate?"

"Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain / I know there's good times behind that pain / Can you tell me how I can make a change?"

It sends such a positive message. And since Justin's fanbase consists of young kids, the kids in this country and in the world who are fortunate need to know the reality of other kids their age who have very little, if anything.

And even beyond the message, the song itself in terms of the music, instrumentals, beat and melody, it brings forth that uplifting feel as well. It's catchy and an extremely strong ballad.

The music video mirrors the message of the song itself. We see a bunch of footage interspersed throughout of tragedy, destruction, war, famine and a lot more. We see Justin meeting Make-A-Wish kids, and him visiting kids in hospitals. Hopefully this music video was a wake-up call to any of his fans who aren't aware of what's going on in this world (and especially in our own country).
