Speed Demon (Justin Bieber song)

"Speed Demon" is a song with a hip-hop-influenced instrumental and a groovy guitar melody. It is a bright and funky song with a humorous chorus about "checking these chickens", with Bieber also saying his viral "is it clocking to you?" meme, which came from a paparazzi altercation he had a few months before the release of the song and its parent album.^[2] Katie Hawthorne of The Guardian opined: "But for a song bragging about ambition, it lacks adrenaline – like many of Swag II's safe, repetitive tracks".^[3] Andrew Unterberger of Billboard ranked it third among the album's tracks, saying that the song "works because he's so firmly in lockstep with the groove, which evokes summery early-'90s nostalgia in the absolute best way".^[4]
