“Favorite Girl” is a song by Justin Bieber. Bieber first debuted the acoustic version of his song in his official YouTube account after American country pop singer Taylor Swift used Bieber's single "One Time" as background music in one of her video tour diaries. The song was later released exclusively to iTunes as the second promotional single from his debut studio release, My World on November 4, 2009.
Background[]
In August 2009, country pop singer Taylor Swift used Bieber's "One Time" as background music and music that she and her friends were dancing to in a tour video diary that she posted on her official YouTube account. In response to Swift using his song, Bieber posted an acoustic rendition of the then never-before heard "Favorite Girl" on his YouTube. When asked about his learning of Swift using his song, Bieber stated, "It was really funny because I heard about it from a fan. I watched it and it was hilarious!" Bieber and Swift then met in person at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and she later invited him to be a special guest on her Fearless Tour when she returned to the United Kingdom.

Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
[Verse 1]
I always knew you were the best
The coolest girl I know
So prettier than all the rest, the star of my show
So many times I wished you’d be the one for me
But never knew it’d get like this
Girl, what’d you do to me?
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re who I’m thinking of
And girl, you ain’t my runner-up
And no matter what, you’re always number one
[Chorus]
My prize possession, one and only
Adore you, girl, I want you
The one I can’t live without
That’s you (That’s you), that’s you (That’s you)
You’re my special little lady
The one that makes me crazy
Of all the girls I’ve ever known, it’s you, it’s you
My favorite, my favorite
My favorite, my favorite girl
My favorite girl
[Verse 2]
You’re used to going out your way to impress these Mr. Wrongs
But you can be yourself with me
I’ll take you as you are
I know they said believe in love
Is a dream that can’t be real
So girl, let’s write a fairytale and show ‘em how we feel
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re who I’m thinking of
And girl, you ain’t my runner-up
And no matter what, you’re always number one
[Chorus]
My prize possession, one and only
Adore you, girl, I want you
The one I can’t live without
That’s you (That’s you), that’s you (That’s you)
You’re my special little lady
The one that makes me crazy
Of all the girls I’ve ever known, it’s you, it’s you
My favorite, my favorite
My favorite, my favorite girl
My favorite, girl (Baby, it’s you)
My favorite, my favorite
My favorite, my favorite girl
My favorite, girl
[Bridge]
You take my breath away with everything you say
I just wanna be with you, my baby, my baby
Oh-oh, promise I’ll play no games
Treat you no other way than you deserve
‘Cause you’re the girl of my dreams
[Breakdown]
My prize possession, one and only
Adore you, girl, I want you
The one I can’t live without
That’s you, that’s you
You’re my special little lady
The one that makes me crazy
Of all the girls I’ve ever known, it’s you, it’s you
[Chorus]
My prize possession, one and only
Adore you, girl, I want you (I want you, whoa)
The one I can’t live without
That’s you (That’s you), that’s you (That’s you)
You’re my special little lady (You’re my special little lady)
The one that makes me crazy (The one that makes me crazy)
Of all the girls I’ve ever known, it’s you, it’s you
(You’re my favorite girl)
My favorite, my favorite
(Favorite girl) My favorite, my favorite girl
(Favorite girl) My favorite girl
(Favorite girl)
My favorite, my favorite
(Favorite girl) My favorite, my favorite girl
(Favorite girl) My favorite girl
[Outro]
Favorite girl
Oh-oh oh whoa
