Savage Garden’s “Truly Madly Deeply” and Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” are, respectively, the cause of, and solution to, some uncomfortable family situations in Spotify’s amusing new ads, created in-house and rolling out in the U.K. to promote the service’s family plan.

Biscuit’s Matt Devine directed the two spots, which certainly take the music streaming service in a more suggestive direction. As one YouTube commenter asks, “Why are all these Spotify ads so sexual?” Adds another: “Just saw this on TV with my mum in the room so fkn awkward.”
