Justin Bieber's 'One Less Lonely Girl' tradition

The 'One Less Lonely Girl' tradition was a special part of Bieber’s early concerts. During his shows back in the day, the pop star would choose one girl from the audience and bring her on stage. He would make her sit on a stool, give her flowers, and belt out ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ just for her.

The idea was to make a fan feel special and seen, almost like she was the only person in the crowd for that moment. The act became one of the most emotional and popular parts of his early tours and helped define his connection with fans.

The track from his 2009 EP 'My World' was a key part of his early shows. Bieber recreated the similar moment with Eilish, but instead of gifting a flower, Bieber gave her a warm back hug.

Bieber has also spoken kindly about Eilish. In a 2020 interview, he said he feels the need to “protect her” because he understands the pressure of early fame. "I just want to protect her, you know?” he said. “I don’t want her to lose it. I don’t want her to go through anything I went through.”
