When Justin Bieber made his way on to the music scene in 2010, it didn’t take long for the world to realize that the semi-long haired teenager from a small city in Canada would be more than just a one hit wonder. With four studio albums under his belt, Bieber has won two MTV Video Music Awards and been nominated for two Grammys. Now, four years after the release of his debut album , Bieber has shed his teenage image and solidified himself as a pop icon. Although his recent antics have portrayed him as a reckless young adult, Bieber has not always been insensitive. Before the release of Bieber’s debut album, My World 2.0, the singer released an EP that only die-hard Bieber fans will likely remember. Among the EP’s seven song track list was a heartfelt and reflective ballad titled “Down to Earth.” The song was co-written by Bieber and discussed the sensitive topic of divorce. Although “Down to Earth” was never released as a single, its message moved countless fans, some of whom were inspired to create versions of their own. Here are the best covers of Justin Bieber’s “Down to Earth.”
