"As I Am" is a song by Canadian singer Justin Bieber, featuring vocals from American singer-songwriter Khalid. It was released through Def Jam Recordings on March 19, 2021, as the third track from Bieber's sixth studio album, "Justice". Bieber and Khalid wrote the song with producers The Monsters & Strangerz, German, Josh Gudwin, alongside co-producer Ido Zmishlany and Scott Harris and Aldae.
"As I Am" is a pop ballad set in the key of B major and has a moderate tempo of 100 beats per minute. The song marks the first collaboration between Justin Bieber and Khalid. The "soulful and hopeful" song serves as "a sweet reminder of being grateful for the people who love you even when you are not perfect". The "high-pitched synth and intense percussion" develop into the "upbeat, catchy chorus".
On March 19, 2021, in an interview with Vogue, Bieber spoke on the nature of the song and revealed that it was about the promises that he made to his wife Hailey Baldwin:
""I love this song because it has a really hopeful message. A lot of us, including me at times, have felt unworthy of love and so is saying, 'Take me as I am and I'll do the best that I can.' It's that commitment that I personally made to my wife. I'm here through thick and thin—this is me, take it or leave it.'"
