"Yukon" is a contemplative track where Justin Bieber croons about his love for his wife Hailey. He's fully on board for whatever she wants, whether they lead to a private, intimate moment or a carefree drive in a huge Yukon SUV, windows down, with the world fading away. The Yukon is a full-size SUV made by GMC capable of hauling eight people, several sets of golf clubs, and possibly a small horse. It's long been a favorite of North American families, luxury car enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys commanding a vehicle roughly the size of a ski lodge. Remember you used to drive a Yukon Now, there's no public record of Hailey Bieber owning or driving a Yukon (she's more often seen in Range Rovers and Tesla Cybertrucks), but honestly, that's beside the point. The Yukon here is less about literal transportation and more a symbol of comfort, reliability, and the kind of love that stretches out like a smooth stretch of I-5. Bieber's vocals are soft, layered, and slightly high-pitched, like he's singing to himself as much as to us. If it feels like something SZA might whisper into a sunset, that's because Carter Lang, one of her go-to collaborators, co-produced the track. Eminem is one of the credited writers because Bieber interpolates a line from Em's 2010 track "Untitled" from Recovery (Deluxe Edition). The lyric in the first verse, "I can help you get a move on, like U-Haul," directly echoes Eminem's bar, "Get up, baby, get a move on like a U-Haul, you can rack your brain." Also popping up in the back seat of this dreamy road trip is 2 Chainz, who contributes background vocals. You'll hear several of his ad-libs, including a "yaaaAAhh" in the track's final pre-chorus.

In the city, uh, remember you used to drive a Yukon
I'd pick up whenever you called
In the parkin' lot in Tucson, like, "Uh, are you with me?"
In the Phantom with the roof gone, I pull up like Jimmy Neutron
I can help you get a move on, like U-Haul, and I know

Uh, you like to go slow, but we could go faster, tell me the password
Slide city, slide city, you know what that means, uh
I'm coming up on you quickly, mm, I'll bring nice things, uh
Slide city, slide, plenty other men tryna get in the bed
So I'mma get slouched instead, I know it's gonna make you beg

What would I do (What would I do?), if I didn't love you, babe?
What would I do if I didn't love you, babe?
What would I do (What would I do?), if I didn't love you?

Mm (Yeah), mm

Just wanna be the one to give you what you want
I could put you in the Yves Saint Laurent
Ridin' 'round town with your hair down, uh (True)
I know you like it when I tell you what you want
Keep your plan, what you're doin' with me tomorrow
I can tell your friends you need your mantra
I know, I know

Uh, you like to go slow, but we could go faster, tell me the password (Uh)
Slide city, slide city, you know what that means, uh
I'm coming up on you quickly, mm, I'll bring nice things
(Yeah, baby, I'll bring nice things)
Slide city, slide, plenty other men tryna get in the bed
So I'mma get slouched instead, I know it's gon' make you beg

What would I do, uh, if I didn't love you, babe?
What would I do if I didn't love (Love) you, babe?
What would I do (What would I do?), if I didn't love you? (What would I, what would I do?)

Love you, love you
Love you, love you
Love you, love you
Love you, love you
