Justin Bieber Explains Himself In A Remarkable Zane Lowe Interview

By FYI Staff

Friday, Justin Bieber released Chances, his fifth studio album and the first since Purpose in 2015.


Needless to say, interest in it is explosive. The two teaser singles have both been massive hits for him. Simultaneous with the 17-track album’s release, all tickets for his lengthy 45-date tour went on sale.

Below, his interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. It’s a remarkable conversation that finds the 25-year-old candid about his past, the significance of Jesus in his life today, how his wife Haley has turned his life around, what it’s like to live a life where people have told him he is “awesome” since his discovery in his teens, and how trust, acceptance and his relationship with his father have started to become staples in a life that has had its stormy weather. Towards the end of the interview, he discusses his own personal pain and the suffering of the many in this world. He comes close to shedding tears. Not the usual celebrity interview, but then Justin has forever proven himself to be anything but ordinary when it comes to sharing his life with fans.

Nora Fatehi and Jason Derulo Join Forces for ‘Snake’: Inside the Globe-Spanning Collaboration

Fatehi, a Canadian-Moroccan Bollywood superstar, hopes the new single "introduces me to the international market in a very unique way," while Derulo preps new music of his own.

Nora Fatehi and Jason Derulo have kicked off 2025 with a single designed to combine cultures. On Thursday (Jan. 16), the Bollywood superstar and veteran hitmaker unveiled “Snake,” a thumping dance collaboration that joins East Asian melodies with American dance-pop production, creating a sensual duet with global aspirations.

Fatehi tells Billboard that the track came courtesy of a discussion with producer Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, Victoria Monét) about finding a sound that could unite audiences in different regions of the world. “My main word was ‘exotic,’ and I wanted to make sure that it was dance-oriented — that whoever heard the song would want to move,” she recalls. “And after finishing the song, we were thinking about which artist would really be a good collaborator, and Jason’s name came up. And I’ve been a fan, and someone who’s really appreciated his journey, for a very long time.”
