Chris Brown has dropped the video with teen heartthrob Justin Bieber for their duet mid-tempo love cut "Next To You." The video starts out showing both artists interpret emotional determination with precision and struggle with their relationships in the video as the world falls apart behind them. It's the end of the world, and Brown and Bieber are dancing. Also, when not making mock Michael Jackson "Free Willy" era moves, saving their girlfriends from the flaming New York City streets.
The dreamy ballad pop love song, taken from Brown's fourth studio album, "F.A.M.E.," is a puppy-love declaration and it melted the pair's "angelic" voices, and trade verses assuring their ladies of their dedication. It finds the duo singing about their love for a lucky girl. Musically, "Next To You" is a R&B and pop number, with lyrics pertaining to the love between two in a relationship. Most music critics positively reviewed the song, complimenting the blending of Brown and Bieber's vocals. However a common criticism of the track was how it stood out in comparison into the more lyrically explicit music on "F.A.M.E.."
Brown returned the favor to Bieber when he added a part to the remix of "Up" on the Bieber's, "Never Say Never," the Remixes album. "Being able to collab with [Bieber] was great," Brown told MTV News. "He's a young, energetic cat, so being able to work with him, with the fanbase he has, was incredible. I know a lot of little girls are going to love this record. I wouldn't say [he's] my protégé. He's doing his thing at a young age, and I was doing mine at a young age, so being able to see him come up is dope."
This version is cleaned up and scaled back, but the epic love story, directed by Colin Tilley, the apocalyptic-themed clip features Brown and Bieber as the only two surviving residents of a chaotic town, and their history are reflected with each of them reminiscing on their girlfriends. The two pop stars face obstacles of apocalyptic proportions to keep their vow to always stand next to their ladies. Streets are crumbling below their feet, the sky is falling, but the two pop stars are determined to keep the promise they made in the song: "One day when the sky is falling, I’ll be standing right next to you."
