It’s been three years since Justin Bieber’s last album, and he’s finally back in the studio.

In a new interview with The New York Times, indie singer-songwriter Mk.gee revealed that he’s been in studio sessions with the “Love Yourself” singer. “He’s searching,” he said. “Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music. You can really do pretty wild stuff behind that, just because it represents something.”


After launching a world tour in February 2022 in support of his last project, 2021’s Justice, and his 2020 Changes album, Bieber revealed in June of that year that he’d been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which had resulted in “full paralysis” on one side of his face, leading to the postponement of some dates.

Though he hit the road again, Bieber was forced to come off the road again in September after the Rock in Rio festival due to ongoing health issues. At the time, Bieber said that he needed to “make my health the priority now,” announcing that he would take a break from touring for an indeterminate amount of time to rest and recuperate, then he cancelled all the remaining shows originally scheduled through March 25, 2023.

He appeared as a guest on a few singles since then, including Don Toliver’s “Private Landing” and an acoustic version of SZA’s “Snooze.”

However, Bieber has been busy with fatherhood lately. The star and his wife, Hailey Bieber, welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack Blues Bieber, last month.
