"All That Matters" is a song by Canadian singer Justin Bieber from his second compilation album, Journals (2013). The song was produced by D.K. the Punisher, Andre Harris and Bieber, all of whom served as songwriters alongside Poo Bear. Bieber wrote it to show the way someone you love can make you feel, conveying love as a feeling of high importance. After he teased the song on October 10, 2013, it was released as the second single of the album and Music Mondays on October 14, through Island Records.
An R&B ballad and love song with elements of blues, the instrumentation includes acoustic guitar. In the lyrics of the song, Bieber sings of only Selena Gomez mattering to him. "All That Matters" received positive reviews from music critics, who generally praised the love song style. They often highlighted Bieber's vocal development, while some critics made favorable comparisons to "Heartbreaker".

It peaked at number 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was certified platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
