The core emotion is playful self-deprecation. Users employ this format to present fictional and exaggerated apologies, turning a romantic song into a tool for jokes.

Where does the “Justin Bieber's "Sorry"” meme come from?

The meme originates from Justin Bieber's song "Sorry", released on October 23, 2015, as the second single from the album *Purpose*. The official music video features the New Zealand dance crew ReQuest Crew without showing the singer. Viral popularity was boosted by specific parodies: the Holderness Family's video on aging published on January 19, 2016, and Bart Baker's parody released on December 20, 2015. These videos established the template of replacing original lyrics with humorous apologies about various subjects.
