Not all its suggestions were that funny. Most of them are pretty mundane. It likes to suggest I switch verbs to present tense when they're supposed to be in past tense.
Bieber probably does have a high-pitched scream LOL.

It's not the Boys' fault, sometimes a rhyme or meter just has to match the music. Music first, then lyrics. Except for "does his friends get all your time," one of them should have said something because "do" wouldn't have changed anything, clearly, because they now sing "do" live, lol.
Yes, the verb switching! Google, stop! I meant what I wrote.
I'm going to need some Bieber fans to weigh in. High-pitched scream or no? lol

I'm trying to write a dramatic moment and there is again! Brain! You're the worst, Google!

Yep, and a lot of their early songs were written by the Swedish songwriters, so you can forgive them for not being grammatically perfect. But I agree about "Does his gifts..."

I momentarily forgot it happened twice in that song, lol!
I know that's the reason, and maybe they were too young/new in the industry and didn't want to be like "hey, I know you have 'does' here, but 'do' makes way more sense and doesn't change anything." I'm assuming that's probably the reason. Don't they own all their masters now? They can probably do whatever they want at this point without feelings being hurt. Although, not sure how owning your masters correlates to songwriting credits, may not equate.

I swear, in this entire thread, this will be the only thing I ever complain about, lol!

Google has taken a new odd turn for me. So I wrote the phrase "giving Kevin space to [do something]" which google did not like. That's cool. I get it, it's kind of boring and uncharacterist ic of my phrasing. Except, it wants me to change it to "giving Kevin Spacey to [do something]." WTF? My first truly wtf moment with google, lol!
