Justin Bieber Says Selena Gomez Inspired New Music on His Upcoming Album

Justin Bieber opened up about his new music and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez in a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest.

The 21-year-old entertainer didn’t shy away from answering questions about the relationship and how it affected his highly-anticipated upcoming album.

“There is a lot of stuff that I’ve been going through over the last few years,” Justin said. “I just really want to bleed it on this record. I want people to know that I’m not playing around. I’m not doing a record that is cookie cutter or doing something that I think people want to hear…I’ve been pretty silent about what I’ve been going through and just growing up in this life is hard, so I want to translate that.”

About Selena, Justin said, “A lot of my inspiration comes from her. It was a long relationship and a relationship that created heartbreak and created happiness and a lot of different emotions that I wanted to write about, so there’s a lot of that on this album.”
