Everything We Know About Justin Bieber And BTS' Collaboration
Justin Bieber is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, and ever since he made tween girls' hearts melt in 2009 with his certified bops, "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl," he's been topping the charts left and right. Along with his successful decade-long career, The Biebs' high-profile relationship with model Hailey Bieber has kept him in the spotlight throughout the last few years.
In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in 2020, Bieber talked about the challenges of making new music and staying inspired after growing up in the spotlight and facing pressure to consistently produce chart-topping hits. "I think, again, I was dealing with a lot of fear, a lot of just... was afraid of, at that point, just even the process. What am I going to talk about again? Is it going to be received? I'm starting to compare with other artists," he told the radio show host at the time, adding that it was his pal Ariana Grande that gave him the extra boost of confidence he needed to keep making music (via Billboard).
"She gave me kind of a boost of confidence and reminded me because it'd been so long since I'd been on stage. Just kind of reminded me what... Oh, this is what I do," he shared. "This is what I'm good at. And I don't need to run away from it."
