While promoting his third studio album, Believe (2012), with the album's Believe Tour throughout 2012 and 2013, Bieber started recording songs on the tour and confirmed in January 2013 that he was writing for a new album.[12] Five months later he confirmed a new album for 2013,[13] with his manager announcing they were going to think outside the box and release a different type of album.[14] In October 2013, Bieber started the "Music Mondays" project, a ten-week digital download campaign in which one new song was released every Monday night. After the completion of the project, in December 2013, Bieber released the ten songs from the campaign along with new tracks in a limited-edition collection called Journals.[15] Quickly afterwards in January 2014, record producer Douglas Romanow announced that Bieber was recording new music with him.[16] In the same month, Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd, who previously worked on the majority of songs on Journals, started recording heavily with the singer as well.[17] The next month, the singer confirmed he was recording new music.[18] In March 2014, he posted on his Instagram a preview of a song called "Life Is Worth Living",[19] while in April, he promised on his Twitter about his new music and that it would be the "best" he had ever made, while working in the recording studio on the album.[20]
In contrast to the dance-oriented songs present on the album, Purpose also features an acoustic pop song, "Love Yourself",[53] which has minimal arrangement, using a guitar and a "brief flurry of trumpets"[56] and folk influence, as well as the piano ballads "Life Is Worth Living" and the title track, "Purpose".[41] Meanwhile, "Company" blends electropop and R&B,[44][51] and it was compared to Bieber's previous release, Journals (2013).[43] "No Pressure" is a "dreamy"[45] and dark[57] R&B track which features rapper Big Sean,[40] who previously worked with Bieber on Believe's "As Long As You Love Me" and Journals' "Memphis", and has an "elastic guitar riff"[44] and "shimmering, processed acoustic guitar."[46] "No Sense" is a hip-hop tinged track, with bass-riddled synthesizers[44] and influences of trap music, mostly due to Travis Scott's appearance.[43] His rap was noted for being using auto-tune in excess,[41] while Bieber's vocals were compared to those of Justin Timberlake.[53] "We Are" and "Trust" also rely on hip-hop, with the first featuring a "heavy background looping" and the last "sharp production sounds and switches in flow," with a Drake-influence.[43] "Hit the Ground", included on the Walmart and Japanese editions, features "organic shifts in tempo" and "Skrillex's imaginative drop," which was compared to "chip-tune bagpipes."[45]

While being asked about the themes on the album in an interview for The Fader, Jason "Poo Bear" Boyd, one of the album's main songwriters, claimed: "It's about keeping in mind and in tune with what's going on with Justin. Just being honest. We really set up for this project to be inspirational. If we talked about a girl, it was something that just happened. Overall, we touch on his personal life like his relationship issues, but at the same time, it's a healthy balance of inspirational music. We're just thinking about making sure that it's not negative, but uplifting. Even the music that talks about his relationships, it's feel-good music. It's nothing that will make you depressed."[17] In an interview for USA Today, Bieber himself declared that the song on the album are "bout growing, being in touch with yourself. What can I say, it's life experiences, and knowing that you can and get back up and keep going. Hope and faith, that's what's gotten me through this too, my faith. What I believe in. You're around some people sometimes and it might taint what you believe. I think that's what happened with me, I lowered my beliefs."[32] When asked about inspirations for the album and if his former girlfriend Selena Gomez inspired him, he admitted: "A lot of my inspiration comes from her. It was a long relationship and a relationship that created heartbreak and created happiness, and a lot of different emotions that I wanted to write about. So there's a lot of that on this album."[35] 2ff7e9595c
