“I get my weed from California” and the supporting ad lib, “That’s that shit,” do nothing to compliment the romantic lyrics, and seem misplaced in a song about love and loss. However, Bieber’s repetitive chorus is riddled with very shallow and surface level sentiments that contradict that deeper sentiment. The lyrics of Bieber’s opening verse, “I want to wrap my arms around you, baby / Never let you go,” blend perfectly with the sorrowful lyrics to come from the features.
Conversely, “Peaches” suffers from Bieber’s contribution, and the song would have been better off without him. In short, Caesar and Giveon’s verses work to enhance the overall sound and match the mellow vibe of the romantic lyrics.
Giveon sings, “The one I need is right in my arms,” aiding the transition from upbeat flow into the hook with the addition of soulful ad libs that riff in the background. Similarly, that modulation occurs in the transition into Giveon’s verse, also highlighting the smooth timbre of his voice with the backing vocals. That mellow vibe carries over into the soulful lyrics of Caesar’s verse, where the singer serenades listeners with extended high notes singing, “Hate to leave her, call it torture / Remember when I couldn’t hold her.” The beat relaxes to accommodate Caesar’s melancholy lyrics: “Days we save as souvenirs / There's no time, I wanna make more time,” giving focus to the soulful quality of the R&B singer. The melody is a soothing blend of jazzy keyboard chords and low bass notes. In an unforeseen collaboration, Justin Bieber teamed up with Daniel Caesar and Giveon on the single “Peaches.” This star-studded track is dominated by Bieber, however, and as a result, the song falls flat.
