Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My life is a movie and everyone's watching
So let's get to the good part and past all the nonsense

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
It's like they want me to be perfect
When they don't even know that I'm hurting

[Chorus]
Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
There's one thing that I know for sure
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you

[Verse 2]
I've got to learn things, learn them the hard way
Got to see what it feels like, no matter what they say

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing
When the pressure's coming down like lightning
It's like they want me to be perfect
When they don't even know that I'm hurting

[Chorus]
Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
There's one thing that I know for sure
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
I'll show you
Cause life's not easy, I'm not made out of steel
Don't forget that I'm human, don't forget that I'm real
Act like you know me, but you never will
There's one thing that I know for sure

[Outro: Acoustic]
I'll show you
I'll show you

Music video

I'll Show You
Recorded	2015
Released	November 2, 2015
Director	Rory Kramer
Location	Iceland

The trip to Iceland was very spontaneous. Justin Bieber and his videographer, Rory Kramer were in Greece and Kramer asked for a place he'd never been and always wanted to go. Bieber's response to his quesiton was Iceland. Later that day he told Kramer that he was going to cut the trip short to go to Iceland

Everything about the video like him running in the video was all naturally Bieber. Rory Kramer didn't ask for Justin to do any specific poses.
