Yes, this song sounds familiar because a part of the song comes from "Lovefool" by The Cardigans (released in 1996).

"Love me" covered the following from "Lovefool":

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me

Now, let's compare these two songs:
1. "Love me" by Justin Bieber (2009)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=immKV2ehG1U&feature=topvideos

and compare to

2. "Lovefool" by The Cardigans (1996)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9zpnLBtwwg&feature=related

Enjoy!

Lyrics of "Lovefool" from

im pretty sure on this one, i know usher runs the show and i dont think he personally has ever remade any songs. So I dont think it would be something he would do for his clients... especially someone so young up and coming... is that how you want to start your career copying someone else =) probably not... dont quote me on this but i doubt it is a cover. ill look into it more and get back.

If you listen to the chorus, it actually does.

Either way, I have tipped you $1 for your helpfulness!
